Is here any unicorn good for offensive assault ?

Dwemer · December 2018

Hi.
Is there any unicorn among few assaults I've got?Any of them is worth lvling up and investing all tokens in him? Or should I still wait,search for better one?
Im looking for ideal offensive assault cause my defensive one is Abraham ofc. What are 5 traits for ideal offensive assault in yoiur opinion?
Which of them should I scrap right away, not to take precious place and resources?

If Paula had revenge she would be the unicorn offensive assault
She has defensive stance though. This is really useless for an offensive survivor.
Wasted trait for your purpose.

With that in mind I would definitely pick Halina without doubt.
Like mentioned without luck your critical hit chance is a little lower, but it will still be pretty good with sure-shot.
Vigilance is not a bad trait if you use overwatch.
I would say Halina is closest to being a unicorn offensive assault you got, and definitely worthy.

Keep Paula too though, when Halina is in the hospital she'll be a great replacement.

IMO the best traits on an offensive assualt are marksman, ruthless, sureshot. After that any combo of lucky, dodge, and iron skin would work well.

Revenge is fun but if you are using the assault in the lead they are the most likely to get attacked and rendering the trait useless. Vigilant and defensive stance are valuable if you are overwatching which again you probably wouldn’t do with offense.

As it stands right now, bullet dodge is almost useless, especially on an assault and if you don’t have luck as well. I only like to use assaults against freeman if they are precharged in order to stun them immediately.

Jeff is my least favorite of your assaults but he would probably do well in outpost. I would put him there until you can get the most adavantage out of scrapping him.

Warren and Paula are probably best suited to what you said you are looking for, although neither is perfect. Pick whichever suits your gameplay to keep for now. If you plan to over watch a lot with them keep Paula, if not keep Warren. Scrap the other.

Renee and Halina both have decent traits although not the best for offense but since Renee needs more training, I would scrap her first. They are very similar as well but I would say Halina’s ruthless is more valuable than Renee’s luck.

Halina looks good to me for that purpose.

I would prefer luck over vigilant but if you use overwatch, vigilant is handy.

Renee might be your other option - no ruthless means no added damage o charge attacks, of course, but with her luck, sure shot might trigger more often.

The others don't fit what you are looking for, I would say.

Ok.thanks for opinion and explanations.personally also think Halina will be good. especially in missions when you have just to stand and defend, destroy waves of coming walkers before opening gates etc.-so she won't be moving so much, just standing, killing and stunning anything she can. cheers

Paula is actually your best offensive assault. Nevermind the DS, she has the Holy Trio of Attack Traits: Marksman, Sure Shot, and Ruthless. Lucky stacks further with sure shot, so even with DS she's gonna put out high damage for an assault.

Technically Halina could work too but I would take Lucky and DS over Revenge and Vigilant. Plus, Vigilant and Sure Shot do not play well together, every turn that character is basically having a worthless trait.

I prefer Warren. Marksman can be made up for with damage badges.

It could change if a new weapon with tactical trait will be presented soon (similar to bow for shooters).

@dalmer very true. My best shooter has ruthless, marksman, sure shot, revenge, and dodge and I can't wait to use the bow with her. I also love swift strike on scouts and would love to see more variation on this effect, but they really have to be careful about balancing it out right. Extra action points is a very big deal, ask anyone that's played 4th edition D&D.
