Yeah. B3 in that particular case, which is quite good, especially considering BS13 and Surprise Attack (-6) :)
Also applies if someone within ZoC/LoF declares a hacking attack against you, even thought it's not a FtF roll. ... I don't think they thought this rule out very well.
Bang bombs sound like they would also be good for ninjas. The Ayyar remains an odd bird. Bang bombs gives it some much needed survivability. The addition of AP finally allows it to be useful against models it's pricepoint or higher. With the universal change of surprise attack becoming more useful, it can hopefully have a niche as a toolbox do everything unit.
I was thinking more about the AP rifle with burst 1 + triangulated fire... 4 shoots to 10s, no matter what sounds really interesting.
The Ayyar has always been an Odd one. However, it has always been one that I've enjoyed. While I'm sad it's lost Holoecho it gained Bangbomb. So, it lost some shenanigans in exchange for survivability. Note: I'm already calculating what shenanigans Tri-Fire will give it. Also, I find the name "Bangbomb" an almost Looney Tunes style name. Bangbomb! another fine product from the Acme Corporation.
It still has holoecho thanks to Holoproyector. What it has lost is Holomask, which honestly, was not of much use.
For the name, I am almost sure that it is meant to be a portmanteau of "Smokebomb!" and "Flashbang." Either way it is a cool bit of kit.
So certain profiles of Khawarijs, Asawira, Ayyar, Hortlak Jannisairs, Arslan will have access to Discoballer which provides Eclipse Smoke. Deactivators can be used reactivate the friendly Discoballer in later turns. If Sectorial units remain the same and N5 Vanilla list is correct: Vanilla: Khawarijs and Asawira Hassassins: Asawira and Ayyar RTF: Khawarijs and Horlak Jannisairs QK: Arslan This will add some flexibility for Haqqislam to avoid difficult AROs. I just hope that our Najjarun engineers finally get Deactivators in N5...
The only deactivactor present across all faction are the remotes. QK: burkut and kaplan RTF: monstrucker.
