In seriousness, though, this is the scenario I'm looking for WAB: use it to tee up shots for the rammer finishers. Dropping an incidental hull damage or two with WAB and suddnely the flotilla is super vulnerable to the ET or Quantum Storm finisher. Beyond that, I'm having a hard time finding a really good, reliable application for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Combining with Mauler and Saber to kill Jan Orrs. Flotillas arent the target you are looking for..... its a flak upgrade. Everyone begged for one and now cant see what it is.... *Sigh* 2 ovinomanc3r and Muelmuel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone begged for one and now cant see what it is.... *Sigh* No, I see what it is. But what platform am I putting it on for that application? What platform... - Reliably crits with blacks - Has an ordnance slot - Is attacking ships - Is willing to give up flak shots to shoot ships - Is willing to give up ship-killing ordnance to contribute to killing Jan - Can pin Jan close to her own ships If you have few enough blacks that you're not a primary ship-killer, you're probably a Raider, not likely to crit, or both. If you have enough blacks that you're likely to crit naturally, you're an MC30 or GSD and it's a pretty hard pitch to replace APT/ACM/ExRax with this. Also worth noting that I've never asked for a flak upgrade because I think flak is fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardaedhel 10,844 Posted January 4, 2018 It will specifically counter Jan inside the GH bubble though, so it's got that going for it I guess, which is nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Shmitty mentioned the same thing. I do think spamming across lots of small ships it is going to be the only way to make it work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,832 Posted January 4, 2018 Ideally (the spirit) 4 Flotillas. undamaged. They do not have Bright hope / motti no other ships in proximity. I extended it to small ship ONLY because getting 4 Flotillas together was a long ask. 2 Helias de Nappo and Ardaedhel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like this will have the effect of getting your opponent flying more spread out, which could be more beneficial to you then the primary effect of the card. Sucks for squads who want Toryn in range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
