Character Battle- Poll 8: Jandar's Oath #1

[kenjib]

Cyborg gorillas with guns - how could I not vote for them? As maligned as they are around here, they are actually pretty good when paired with the Nakitas (who I also really like) too.

On height? Bonus. On water. Bonus. Dead? Bonus (sort of). All this plus decent stats and a fairly cool sculpt and the Microcorp get my vote.

I like about all of these squads though.

Me too.
It's a great wave for the amount of variety in common squads.
They all look kickin' (I've come to like the Highlander sculpts!) too.

What? How is 2/3 "good attack and defense like melee"?

I believe this is the closest poll yet.

I was wondering that myself. They are the best ranged unit in the game when they have height in my eyes and when they don't they are pretty bad. I don't think I would ever think of them as a melee unit. They should always be used as a ranged unit that can avoid being destroyed.

While I like the Sentinels, and the Hounds look interesting, the Microcorp Agents look pretty darn cool. Definitely high on my list of figures I'd like to try.

I can't speak for Paragoomba, but perhaps he's considering that potent Stealth Armor!
Engage whatever - be it normal or special attack - they've a chance to survive without even having to hold hands with a long-haired Greek guy!

I even recall the strategy tips on the old official site recommending a bold style with these guys. Throw them out there and don't worry. They've a sizeable chance to survive whatever as long as the threat doesn't outright destroy them.

This is a hard one because i love the whole wave but when it comes down to it I have to go with the Microcorp Agents.

Actually I meant NOT to engage with them, and just camp (Camping means sitting in a good spot and waiting for the enemy to come to you) on a hill. Considering alot of ranged squads have 3 attack including height, having 4 attack on height makes them, IMO, the best ranged squad on height. They have the power of the Obsidian guards' melee attack, but at seven range.

Sorry for the confusion.

This one was easily the hardest one for me to pick. After some back and forth between Microcorp and Marrdens, I had to go with the Marrdens. The sheer potential for utter devestation per turn, plus their 5 defense, helped them edge out the agents...barely.

[rdhight]

Microcorps are the only competitor here for me. They look cool. They provide their own attack, defense, and movement boosts, so they don't have to depend on a hero to fight effectively. They're expensive figures who leave plenty of start zone spaces for rats. Stealth Armor works against counterstrike, disengagement, falling, Deadeye.... Yet they're not so uncounterable that they're sickening to see across the table from you.

KMA, Nakitas, and AE all have 4 attack on height.
