Anybody talking about rebels with Slicers? No? Hmm, strange.

ORS and StressHog seem like a match made in heaven. Except ORS still sucks...I guess you can't have it all.

ORS can tactician slicer .

Wild Space Fringer can Flechette Cannon Slicer.

Ghost can Chopper Slicer.

Ghost can't slicer at all.

Can I slicer?

only half of the time

I think it will tone down the automatic PTL on every turn, but it is limited to range 1-2, so as long as Fel, Jax, and Inquisitor move after the ships carrying BMST, they should be able to stay at Range 3 or not use PTL that round. Inquisitor wants to be in range 3 anyway, so just keep him back and PTL as much as you want.

Funny enough, after some playing against: I'm of the camp that BMST is better in list building phase than feedback array, but feedback array is more reliable, and BMST is okay. Its not going to remove PTL aces from the meta. Although in the next few months while people are still learning how to fly PTL against it, its gonna be pretty rough.

Mainly, its good vs dengaroo. Which is a huge plus to me.

I don't think it is so much about learning how to fly ptl against it, as it is gambling on matchups with whether you take traditional ptl aces (or dengaroo or w/e) and hope to not run into it much. Even if the aces move after, and land at range 3+ and ptl that turn, the slicer tools can move first and get close enough (unless ptl ship is completely behind slicer ship or w/e). I think using ships with more hull that are traditional stressers like dengar or dash is a calculated risk that shouldnt be TOO bad against slicers. At that point, it may still be some attackless damage sure, but they aren't going to hit you with it 5 times, so eventually all 9 or 10 of your health will get used still.

Will be interesting to see if some scum builds make room for a couple zs with slicer tools ( cost basically the same as 1 tlt y), or start using

seriously, while slicers are great and well costed they're also random and don't really slot into any existing competitive scum list

Will be interesting to see if some scum builds make room for a couple zs with slicer tools ( cost basically the same as 1 tlt y), or start using slicer tools on a hwk that might be in the list already (palob)

Probably going to show up on a lot of falcons and maybe dashes soon too, though engine upgrade is a big deal of course to give up for it. Still, to guard that donut hole on dash, or on chewie with his 5 ps (plus there may actually be a non-$%^& generic falcon soon), it might be worth it over the engine
