Raindog Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 It has Chain of Command, Sensor, a Visor, an FO and Engineer. It is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natetehaggresar Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Don't get too hung up on specialists for highly classified. If you look through the ITS X deck, there is a significant reduction in specialist emphasis, as a lot of objectives require you to be a certain type of troop or have other gear. I have counts in this google doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z-RSBTDhExOlZUnCILQNZYrbXM6wp6es-V4zAbZUv78/edit#gid=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah, it's a completely different animal this season. You want to definitely look through the deck and make sure you have the stuff other than specialists; veteran/elite troops, CC specialists, MSV/Biometric visor, etc. If anything, I'd be more concerned about only having one good striker piece in Neema; one spitfire in a list full of combis (be they regular, breaker, or viral) just isn't enough of a hard-hitting presence. It's not easy to take her down, but once you do, your list is pretty badly hamstrung. I'd recommend trying to sneak another big gun in, maybe a Chaksa Longarm or a Rasail with a spitfire. HMGs seem to be pretty rare in Spiral, but I think you want at least one more high-burst gun like a spit or a Red Fury. A Mk12 would also be good. Just something that you can reach out and touch someone with that throws enough dice to win firefights. Regardless of what faction I play, I always aim to have at least 3 B4 guns on the board (not counting fireteam bonuses.) That seems to be pretty tough to do in Spiral, though, so I may be talking out my ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I have found, for the most part that a visored sniper can function in place of one of those burst units, especially thanks to the triad bonus (or relevant Haris bonus) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dataentity Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. I have plenty of visors and sensor. Like an excessively large amount. Neema is CC, but might be worth considering trying to fit in an Igao? Or the Kerail. @Sgt. RockYeah, Spiral is weak on the high burst firepower. But, Chaksa Longarms are bad. They are more joke than useful. If you were looking at the Mk12, they're 27 points for a 1 wound, BS11, no mods. The only gun fighters worth considering, I think, would be a Draal with AP Marksman or the Rasail. but the Iago and Kerail could also work for getting in and murdering things.

dataentity Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 https://art-of-war-studios-ltd.myshopify.com/blogs/news/field-test-infinite-fight-club?fbclid=IwAR3rfyKruBxvPmvSWbklMrJ87gBea1P-OlsoN4hAbKXv7x23S1r3Y6cgl5U Saw it on WGC Infinity and after trying TAG deathmatch last Sunday, this sounds great. Though, it'd need some balancing for the better spec-ops like the Deva naturally having NWI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 It would take a LOT of balancing. Muyib spec ops are crazy good, Ariadna spec ops... well, they're cheap, but if you're not factoring in their point cost, they're pretty trash. Sounds like a fun idea, but needs a lot of work.
