What are we thinking for the Vermilion Bird Shock Infantry Regiment? Edit: Surely not another drop troop?
@ObviousGray Since you're from korea IIRC, could you share what Jujak means? Can't find anything on google. Also, Hundun means "Chaos" if I'm not mistaken.
3 camo units in the starter if we interpret Hùndùn Ambush Unit as aligning with the "legendary faceless being" of Chinese mythology.
Its one of four sacred beast, 사성수 in our native tongue. Black tortoise - Hyunmu of North, Water Azure Dragon - Chungryong of East, Wood White Tiger - Baekho of West, Metal Vermillion Bird(Pheonix) - Jujak of South, Fire Since in our culture direction south means energetic, fertile, sometimes volatile, power of nature - I am counting on Jujak Regiment, and so much hypes!
So... are you saying that this particular Knight will be the first Knight that's a literal push-over in melee? Because the Daofei is. (Edit: though it occurs to me that the KoJ Hospitaller might be a bit of a Order Sergeant, in which case: yes it would make sense to maybe try to stick it with the pointy end of the pointy stick) Until proven to be the new Libertos, I'll just assume they are just as available to Pan-O or other high-payers as are Kaplan Tactical Services. And even then we don't know what the unit actually looks like or if there's a Kunai+ profile the way there's a Libertos+ profile for Dahshat or Saito+ for Druze.
If I'm not mistaken that means the only legendary beast left is a dragon right? Also weren't there early rumors about a Korean drop troop for IA (which turned out to be the Liu Xing)?
And another blurb for the DF pack: Dire Foes Mission Pack Alpha: Retaliation Convention Exclusive Pre-release REF: 280031-0821 ARMY: PanOceania /Yu Jing MSRP: $40,99 [CODEONE PRODUCT] PanOceania knows that a power does not maintain its supremacy by allowing any attack against it to go unpunished. Following the events in Kaldstrøm, a representative of the Yu Jing diplomatic corps who is visiting Huangdi will be the target of a team led by Troll-hunter Gunnar Lundmark. Of course, with Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut of the Special Division as the diplomat’s bodyguard, the task will not be easy.
Just a bit of extrapolation here. Zhanshi SWC pack is a separate product, so unlikely to be any SWC troops unless they also get a new SWC option. Daofei have a HMG released already, so I'm going to guess this is the Assault Hacker profile (because they can be varied than just a Multi Rifle profile). Guilang sniper has already been released, so this is likely a Hacker or FO profile. This means the Ambush unit or the Korean unit carries the token SWC weapon. Depending on if the Hundun Ambush unit is a HI or not, the metal amount might be low enough to allow the Korean unit to be an S5. My gut instinct tells me the Hundun has a Multi Sniper and that the Korean unit is some form of quasi-melee unit (not full melee).
The Yellow Dragon of Center, Yeah it represents the Emperor himself, guiding the very earth for fruitfulness and prosperity. Its a long used emblem of royal families just like Eagle. Though in YJ I bet Yellow Dragon would mean the Emperor lol
That sure sounds like a Uighur name. So just maybe this is a Zuyong Dire Foe (or maybe just a Zanshi with Uighur fluff, sadpanda).
Okay, good point. If that were a Zhanying Dire Foe, I'd be pretty stoked... linkable with Hsien and more Zhanying with madtraps in that case. Although if it's a redone Pheasant that didn't suck, that would also be pretty cool. Seriously doubt they would put out a second CG dire foe. The one we have is already my favorite Dire Foe profile ever.
We've seen Dire Foes that have worn multiple hats before, like Leila who was a Ghulam/Muyib before she got Wildcard. A Zhanshi/New type of agent (Phoenix?) based DF would be an interesting addition to all 3 sectorials.
Except the Varuna ORCs got new profiles and there is absolutely nothing indicating a unit with a different name is the same existing unit, and it sure doesn't sound like "just a cool name" so it all points to 4 new profiles for PanO, 2 new profiles for YJ, because PanO needs more diversity after Varuna but YJ players sure will love to buy the same units they already bought with Red Veil and Beyond. Waiting for my mercenary TO TAG kkthx.
Or possibly they're changing the Gui Feng to be "Imperial Agents"? I'm really hoping for a zhanshi here...
