Has anyone tried fiddler in HB? I played my first F2F games in eons yesterday and after 2 games I think she's overpriced for HB. HB has some good infiltrating specialist that can make up for her speed. Daylami are better for disposable ARO pieces in comparison to the Jack bots. The added benefit is that the daylami don't drop when fiddler does. Does anyone have better experiences. Spoiler: The list I played I was a little lazy making the list and took a previous list and juggled a bit. It was originally designed to drop a ton of repeaters via pitchers and use the fireteam core of hackers to completely make any HI or TAG (even with stealth) get bogged down with AROs. The haris of Asawira,Yara & Muyib move forward, or if need relink in with Ghulams. I changed my LT and removes the farazan CoC to fit Fiddler. The Kameel baggage was to reload the pitchers and daylami. The TR fit so I upgraded.

She's really expensive, yeah. I picture her for button-pushing missions where you expect a lot of fighting in the midfield. Like, a Farzan FO can get to a button easily, but can't do much against the mines and troopers the opponent puts in the midfield to contest the button. Fiddler in theory can wreak havok with her bots, and then push the button after everything is dead. That said, I haven't actually tried her in a button-pushing mission. Tried her in a game of Decapitation (using vanilla) and the bots were great for reaching a tucked-away designated target, but then my opponent killed her in turn and the 42 points cost me the "kill more army points" objective. I'm gonna try her again in Decap soon as she seems like a good Lt assassination piece, but whether she's 42 points of good is still up in the air. One major point in her favour is that she's got effectively heavy weapons for 0 SWC. In your list above, if you replaced Fiddler with a Farzan, you'd be left with only the Asawira for removing hard targets. You'd save some points, but couldn't put them towards other heavy weapons since you've already maxed your SWC.
