Maybe because Kaauri already have B-Visor, MSV1, Discover+3. Not all body guards or escorts are going to have the same skills. But Kaauri, to me, are the better body guards. But they are only able to be in a Kiel-Saan or Draal team.
Another possibility: what about a new unique human mercenary leader(liutenant) character profile? So we will have two leaders, one tohaa (Neema) and one human. It will fit with the idea of Mixed Mercenary Company. Lore-wise there are plenty of possibilities. Can be a loose cannon badass or a disillusioned veteran (a sort of Big Boss from MGS5). With this background can be justified to have Brawler tag and be able to fit into the Fireteam. For the skills I will for sure add one between Strategos (for a sectorial like Spiral is a great thing to have), Strategic deployment or Holomask. Then if we stick with Big Boss idea I think Mimetism (-3), Dogged and Sixth-sense. Equipment: smoke grenade launcher, smg, Breaker pistol (+1B), AP CC weapon.
I disagree here, the Kaauri paramedic with +1 Burst Medikit is about the only thing that makes me think of playing Spiral over Tohaa. Every change they made to Spiral over since N4 seems to have watered them down to the point they are worse Tohaa, with a few mercenary units. I would like to see them lean into the mercenary side more, and open up more options. Having access Yuan Yuans would be useful since Spiral really lacks in warbands. Even giving them Bashi would be helpful.
The medic and the mirrorball ones are the only ones I'd consider individually. But would you take any Reex outside of a haris with a Krigle?
I think a Kaauri Reex haris could be cool, but I think Reex need something to differentiate them from Kaauri, because if I could take Kaauri in a link by themselves without Reex I would probably opt to just do that. Even the least expensive Kaauri has a bunch of useful tools while all the Reex are one note, and it is not a particularly great one. I really wish they had done something interesting and made have marksmanship to make them be a little more like an attack remote analog, or give them shock on all the profiles, or they could do fun things like make the Spitfire +1 burst if they want to make them all different.
I think they are ok with their stat and skills. They just need more variety of weapons, maybe a specialist, and ability to join more fire teams.
Do you think that after this huge FAQ (btw thanks CB for the continue effort you put to improve the game) now they will have time to focus on Spiral/Tohaa update?
