BT-1 Attacks

By Hijodecain, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

Just to be sure about BT-1, with missile salvo do I use always a green + (red/blue/yellow) dice on each attack (3 attacks, different targets). Using the green always looks really powerful.

BT-1 gets focused before every attack. Missile salvo allows to perform up to 3 attacks. Each of them gets a green die from focused .

Thanks! It looks a little bit broken. Power creep is rising so fast.

If you do the math, you'll see it's not broken or power creep. You'll see that BT-1 does not have surge abilities that would add damage (and Blast is situational), so on average focused gives 1.33 damage to the attack results. The guaranteed +1 accuracy from the green die is equally useful part. And due to becoming automatically focused, you can't increase the damage output by focusing or hiding BT-1.

and you have to think what was actually useful previously to consider it power creep. comparing new stuff to old stuff that was never used to begin with isn't power creep.
