Well this was a surprising change this morning, Daiyokai now have NCO, which makes our Lieutenant issues slightly less bad and actually gives the Al’fasid a bit of competition.
Still worst than karakuri but why not, ikari had issues with useless lieutenant order so good news :).
I think it's a great, situational, change. Show of Force is the obvious use for the Daiyokai now, because he essentially gets as many orders as Scarface, can take as many hits, Is easier to protect, and score the objective just as well. I'm glad I have painted mine up already In other missions, I agree the Karakuri is still the more optimal choice, but having something to spend that Lieutenant order on is a nice change.
For me it has to do with the application of SWC, sometimes you want the Fasid, but don't want to pay the 2 SWC. Really it's more about competing with the Karakuri (which is the default choice when I don't have the SWC for a Fasid). Do you want a little extra survivability, or do you want a little extra firepower plus another order.
That, and the Panzerfaust over the DEP, the extra range of the Red Fury (with Fatality), and stealth through repeater nets.
I think the big change for me is that Heavyweights will now count for missions where TAGs used to be needed. I’m not a fan of Scarface in Ikari at all! Unless they make him able to fire team with Cordelia like Druze, I’d rather avoid him.
