Inside imperial army , there are nice hacker variants that oversight at first look.
so wanted to write here my opinions about them.
Celestial guard hacker
21 points, 0,5 swc
Celestial guard hacker is a strong hacker. strong wip 14, reasonable bts 3. for 21 points, she looks as a solid hacker choice for your army. you can use her in a 5man link, where she is more stronger with ssense level 2. combi rifle is not bad.
Pheasant Rank hacker
32 points, 0,5swc
still we have nice wip value of 14,combi and bts 3 like celestial guard. he is different with exceptional martial arts ability. he links with baotroops and extra bs is fine, but does it worth to extra 11 points ? for me no.
Zhanying hacker
32 points, 0,5swc
Standart wip 13, reasonable bts value of 3, better bs than celestial guard. still 11 points expensive than celestial guard but this time , i think it worths.
zhanying has sixth sense level 2. can not be suprised and delay her aros. also she has nice synergy with hsien multi rifle and wuming boarding shotgun tinbot. who ever wants to attack zhangying will now face -6 on hacking attempts. nice breaker combi is an alternative weapon. also dcharge helps to make an extra mission. still i am not convinced to take her as a solo hacker. but in a link she can be a nice choice.
Crane rank hacker
53 points, 0,5 swc
Nice wip value of 14 becomes more stronger with bts 6. this 2w monster can make the missions in a link of 5. impressive martial arts ability always an other nice choice. 2 nanopulser , cool multirifle and DA close combat weapon. maybe he is expensive however i believe he is a good choice as a hacker.
Ninja hacker
29-40 points , 0-0,5 swc
This part is interesting. close combat masters with impressive martial arts skills that can infiltrate and to camo, out of sights. then can make the missions and attack deadly. in such a sectorial full with sensors, they become a terror in opponents' eyes. i love both variants. but killer hacker is dirty cheap.
Kanren hacker
29-32 points , 0 -0,5 swc
They are great man. holo level 2 is acting like almost camo. this is another story with many tactic options. these dirty infiltrators can make missions and suprise attack/shot their enemies. when they are hackers , they are crazy tools. now imagine a killer hacker acting like a hvt. put two hvts on the table. When the opponent hacker comes to hack your hvt to get points, enjoy that moment.
