Personally, I don't see the point since aleph is studded with AHDs that have better virtues then glass cannon plus pitchers. The HD+ with maestro is worth it way more if you want the pitchers.
Well, the problem is simple: 2 points cheaper than H+, has no damage programs against other hackers, costs the same SWC. Icebreaker has its uses, but they are essentially for high BTS hackable targets... of which we can't really trust we will find on the table. Mind you, the only reason I see to take her is because Icebreaker is, in essence, a "k1" program, so you can stop any enemy hackable or hacker target with 50 to 65% chance of success, regardless of their BTS.
I'm in the same group of dead profile, as maestro can defend herself, oblivion is strong enough to stop the enemy, and white noise/ marksmanship lvl 2 have strong general uses.
And the danava has no real use beside hacking, she's too weak and too slow to go into the fighting zone. If we need an AHD, MK2 and nagas are far better at it since they have infiltration, marker state, valor ... She is overshadowed by both her HD+ variant and our infiltrators
No. We have other sources of AHD. Some *very good* other sources in Mk2, Dasyu and Ekdromoi. HD+ is much more versatile ( we have plenty of REMs that love supportware ), and the only other source of it is in a ridiculously expensive model (Asura. COMBI RIFLE Asura.)
