    Hi everyone,

    It seems the general consensus on the Brawler Tri-Core is that you only gain the size, not composition bonus. The problem being in person games this seems to be a contentious subject. In a tournament this past weekend I mentioned this to my Spiral opponent and he said this was incorrect. The judge ruled that size and composition bonuses would count. This also seems to be the ruling in my local meta, that the Tagma counts as a Brawler so both bonuses are granted.

    Is there an official ruling or link that I can pull up with this issue? If not I assume it will just depend on the judge or local meta to determine if this is valid.

    Thanks in advance,

    It says Taagma (Brawler). Why wouldn't it count as a Brawler for composition?

    Agreed but this is around the Tri-Core skill. For example Two Brawlers and one Tagma with Tri-Core.

    This Harris would get the composition bonus for a three man but does this extend to the Tri-Core? Tri-Core just says you get the size bonus (not size and composition) for a four and five man link team. I can see the confusion as to me it seems you should get both but the forums seems to disagree. Just looking for an official ruling or post saying one way or the other.

    The offical ruling is Tri-Core provides you the size bonus of 5 members because that's what the rule says. Your composition bonus is calculated as normal for a haris.

    I appreciate the clarification

    Hopefully this thread will be an easy reference point. I worry contention at the tournaments might be ongoing until this clarification reaches a FAQ or is touched on by Corvus. As the tournament judge who ruled said the Harris was pure so the size bonus would also be pure.

    Why should it be addressed in FAQs? It's written clear as water... You just need to be able to read...

    Lol, well you would think so, and no need to be snarky. Showing players the rule hasn't cleared up the disagreement so apparently their is ambiguity or denial out there. Again, I understand the rule but was curious what can be done in a tournament or situations of disagreement. The judge and player both said they disagreed with the forums as it wasn't official.

    There are two type of bonus. Size and Composition.
    Tri-Core specifically states it gives Size Composition of 5. It's even with Capital Letter. What else...

    That was my approach, tried to detail the differences in the two types. They agreed but said since it was a pure Harris the bonus for size would also be pure.

    I will just chalk this up to you can't always convince someone of a true statement. If this comes up in the future, hopefully this thread will provide some reinforcement.

    In my game it didn't change the result as my Sukeul K1 got lucky and killed his Taagma but that exchange caused all the debate.

    Happens a lot with new rules, they see it one way at the start, maybe mix it up with the old rules in your head. It's definitely quite different to keep track of two fireteam bonuses as separate entities.
