I'd love to get the group's opinion on why Riot Control Squad is complete garbage. If you put KX Droids and Tenacity on them they total 86pts. If you dish an order token on them using Ruthless, you would have a triple move Charge, 86pt, 5 health, all surging with red defense dice, 3R3B dice pool with Suppressive. The only thing I think they are missing is Immune: Pierce.

I’ve used the example of riots with the same setup you described vs a black sun unit with mag det and a vigo. Both units at that configuration are 86 points, but the black sun have a much higher offensive output in both ranged and even in melee. They don’t have charge, but they also have independent aim and surge along with courage 2. I have yet to play with my two units of riots, but I have played against them. They were very easy to deal with both at range and Vader chewed them up. I agree they need something else like armour 2 or immune pierce. The palp “pull the strings” need definitely shunt down some play they could have had with him too

@ I hear you. I know they aren’t competitive but they are niche. I just wish the person dissing them would be someone that has tried them. It’s like when 2.6 came out 5th we’re bashing the Rebels hard. Sleeper Cell was a significant improvement for them but that’s not the sole reason Rebel lists finished top 3 at LVO. Don’t just give me theoreticals, give me actual experience.

@@ejdLBI’m an empire only player myself. I’ve been struggling against the other main factions since 2.6 released. Empire is the long range shooting army, but the game has turned into a melee to range 2 slug fest. Empire also doesn’t have “arc troopers” or “sleeper cell” dice pools on decent units. Most of their units are too expensive and don’t have to offensive output or token generation the other factions now have. The local rebel players have all been running 13 + lists and it’s silly what stuff they can get in there. I think rebels are in a good spot, but empire needs help. Making snows and storms melee worse just to make riots have a purpose also burns me haha. Cheers bud

They would have said the same about dark troopers during their tier list for heavies if they hadn't made top 8 at a gt. Riot squad is a unit that fits a very specific archetype that most lists don't fit into. I still believe they can be competitive with the right list and enough skill but the list would play differently than anything else in the game. They should get a minor point cut and the second heavy should have been a defensive option instead of the useless one we got.

@@AStrangeEvent i stand by the fact that melee shouldn't have changed and riot should have been black white melee

I am absolutely no expert, but with SWL 2.6 I feel like Stormtroopers are the worst corps unit in the game right now, no matter how you look at it and I switched to Snows ever since, regardless of move 1. Clone Troopers have morale 2, token sharing, red def and black offense. B1 dont "care" for supression, have 6 life, 6 white off and are really cheap Rebel Troopers with Nimble and Agile 1 and are so synergistic with the faction, that they always get a lot out of even a single move. Storms have morale 1, only 4 white offense, surge to hit, red def, rarely get the option to aim or use exemplar aims because I would like to save those for my actual hard hitting units, so they have a "dead" keyword. And since the important part now is to get to the objetives and have staying power to score, I dont see how Storms are competitive.
