What do you all hope for with the promised revamp of Onyx? What would make them better or more competitive/interesting? Or what would you daydream about? I personally always loved Unidrons as a super unique remote line troop. They have some unique skills and weapons. Though their stat line is below average. I think some rebalancing of Unidrons would be cool. On a similar note, a Heavy Infantry Dron would be awesome. Like a CA version of Hollowmen/Beta Troopers. With their own set of unique rules/weapons combos. I hope Xeos get a bit of a glow up. Apart from Superjump getting way better this edition, they were left a bit lacking in the transition from n4 to n5.
What I'd really like is for Onyx to get reworked to be more focused instead of being such a patchwork. I'd begin by losing the Exrah, keeping them in Reinforcements only, replacing them with Team Achilles, and expanding on Sygmaa and Unidron presence, as both have great, underdeveloped potential. Particularly Sygmaa could get expanded upon. Maybe Rasyats could find your way here, they're a good fit for Onyx. I also wanted to see a Heavy Infantry Unidron, and I imagine it as a short ranged shock assault trooper; S5, MOV 6-2, Nanoscreen, Remote Presence, Dogged, Repeater. For weapons Plasma Carbine and HFT, both with increased burst, another with Multi Rifle with Contender and Grenades. Xeodrons don't need much tbh, I'd just give them better PH. Overdrons need models.
