Buffing survivability against added firepower from the Colossals

[Axelle]

We've seen how the Colossals fare and expounded on ways to break it. But aside from that, have any of you guys put into thought of preparing when they have the privilege to strike first?

Compared to our Hyperion, the other Colossals have above average threat range and would likely be able to nuke the Iosans from afar. Having said that, have anyone updated your army lists to augment its survivability in case you square off against them?

I'm checking out Artificers (really considering on getting it) and Discordia to cater with the blast immunity. Inviolable Resolve from Vyros (Deflection from eVyros) also helps as well as Ossyan's Quicken for the Def and Arm vs ranged/magic

Posting this from our Meta's perspective, since there are a lot of the players adapted to blasty shenanigans or damage buffing to take on Ret.


Sidenote: while factoring it up, it suddenly sinked in me about a Quickened MHSF unit under an Artificer's Force Wall will bump their Def to 18 @_@ could be a nice wall against WGDS =))

Snipe on it from Ravyn. Threat range solved LOL.

Keep in mind that deflection is only on warrior models.

They will just kill the artificer with rockets or cra's

@Murkadh

point taken =)) i kept forgetting that the artificer's the only logical target in that wall.. and unlike Discordia, Force Wall grants Force Barrier, w/c doesn't stack w/ his innate Force Barrier, leaving him with only Def14 against ranged.

Remember, the colossals are not any more accurate then shooting jacks that already exist, nor do they have larger threat ranges (With the possible exception of the Kraken's main gun). If using an Artificier or Discordia worked for you before, it'll still work now.
