So is this going to be a new thing now, use someone to end the round with a Flec Cannon attack and start with a M3-A/Z95 to push the damage with Splicer tools.

Flechette Cannon

Attack: Attack 1 ship.

If this attack hits, the defender suffers 1 damage and, if the defender is not stressed, it also receives 1 stress token. Then cancel all dice results.

Slicer Tools

Action: Choose a stressed enemy ship at Range 1-2 and roll 1 attack die. On a HIT or CRIT result, remove 1 stress token and deal it one face down damage card

Yes..no...not really. Slicers Tools might be the breakout star of wave9, but the flechette cannon still sucks.

I would love to get an Illicit on a Scyk. But yeah.. The Z can do it. I wanna try this for sure.

Fula-sh*t cannon just might get dusted off!

edit: "might"

Yes..no...not really. Slicers Tools might be the breakout star of wave9, but the flechette cannon still sucks.

Hear me out I was thinking about something stupid like this which leaves some points for extra goodness. Take 2 party buses, with the frat boys and roll out.

Because I think you can deal out 4 stress and damage out 4 damage extra.

The problem with the Flechett Cannon+ Slicer combo is that you give up expected damage by firing the cannon instead of your 3 dice primary. Than you do 0.5 expected damage next turn with the slicer, if your opp does not clear the stress and stays at range 1-2.

Edit: Not to mention that it costs you 3 points and an action.
