Where will the heroes go?

By blkdymnd, in Dust Tactics

So with a month or two between the release of Ozz and Marcus and the apes and rangers, where will you put Ozz and Marcus?

Being an allied player, the no brainer seems to be Ozz and a Bbq squad, but i've also contemplated running him alone, using his exceptional movement to try to keep LOS to a minimum until he has a squad or walker in range.

What about the rest of ya?

Are there any restrictions? I know the Grim Reapers can only have Marcus as a Hero, but is the reverse true as well? It would like a bit silly with an Ape leading Laser Grenadiers. Just wondering.

grim reapers are allied, but i got your point. and it doesnt seem like the reverse is true from what i've gleaned from the previews. Marcus leading a human unit would be more apt to the human unit following the wake of carnage Marcus has created and mopping up or giving him supporting fire on the way.

Markus can't join any squadron but the gorillas, due to his, uh... being a gorilla. So far Ozz can't join any squadron but the heavy rangers because he's Armor 2. Plus Jump is not an ability you can share with your squadron, so an earth-bound squad would only weigh Ozz down.

Meant Ozz has Armor 3. Why isn't there and Edit button?

good points, forgot about the armor difference.

Another good point. You can't share the jump ability with your squad, so a non-jumping squad will only slow Ozz down, unless you don't plan on using his jump ability. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah, can't attach a hero with a toughness of 3 to a squad with a toughness of 2. So kind of limited to either the Zombies or Apes for Marcus and Oz gets the space cowboys and the rocketeers or what ever they are called.

Actually, since Markus has the Blutkreuz Ape ability, he can only join squads that also have that ability, so just the Axis Gorillas for now.

Ozz, on the other hand, can joing either of the heavy ranger squads.
