Very unique character and one of the first anti-armor, anti-mechanical, and vehicle character

[@ostrowulf]

Yeah, currious how he will be vs the Rigal Dorn pattern tank. I imagine pretty good.

[@Unseenarchivist]

Man, A ranged physical attack is going to be a small but useful game changer for future LREs. Liking this character, simple but strong with easy to understand synergies

[@MidnightHozz]

Yes I think the horde mode score is a little low.

[@obsidian4354]

​@@MidnightHozz How so? He can only attack 1 target a turn except when using active.

[@MidnightHozz]

@@obsidian4354 Because of the scoring tracks it matches in LREs.

[@francisvigoreaux3965]

Just wanted to drop a comment and say I love that graph! Makes it super easy to understand visually and compare with the different buffs/attributes at play! Keep up the great work!

[@sqocks8254]

Another very nice character. I don't care much for for the Admech faction myself, but it's lovely to see them get to finish their faction with such a great and unique addition. ^^

[@johandahl3203]

The obvious, in faction, combo is with Vitruvius and Actus. Start with a light rad bombardment, targeting terminators especially. Then Kataphron active, then normal hit and then an Actus heal

[@rempalago7586]

is cool to see more characters with heavy weapon, but i don't really understand how volk doesn't have this trait. He has the heaviest gun of the all.

[@auronravel9598]

and maybe add also overwatch to him!

Bro....hahahahahaah what the fuck

[@aloser8703]

Going straight into my tau GW offense team. Will be trying to snipe a terminator with him before Revas active as I find usually the heavy armor plus extra health even overcomes Revas’ extreme damage

God character for Legendary event restrictions, ranged, phycikal dmg, flame dmg. 4 hits, mecanical.

He’s a man in tank form

Seems an obvious place to start doesnt it? Strange it was overlooked. Going to have to be careful with movement 2 positioning but Im looking forward to his addition

[@hellisgr]

@@bjornefellhanded9708 It really felt like a missing part of the video, I expected a showcase.

[@garrywilling3711]

The raid score of 2.5 is always based on the assumption we're all level 58 with the most meta raid teams at D3. This guy will be an absolute beast for newer players Vs Dorn and Ghazghkull.

@@garrywilling3711 And thats me. Mismatched admech team at silver 1, guild makes it to epic 5. This guy looks valuable to me

[@swouse8182]

vehicle tag on a character probably means the last genestealer character will be a jackal bike dude

[@n0obatwork]

The Ad-Mech Faction is real strong. I think he will shine in PvP if the Enemy brings Mechs, Terminators and Gravis X Units. In Guildraid i would use him against the Necron-Boss with his Range of 3 Tiles. His Unique look is awesome too.

[@scorpionjacket3129]

Great video whale! Glad to see you keep flexing and getting glazed by the devs!

How/When will we be able to unlock him?

[@DakkaScrappa]

to be honest i can imagine how well it performs against raids -Ghazghkull -Szareth -Rogal Dorn -Mortarion

[@JamesC117]

I think he will do well in wat on the attack as you can aim him at a Mech team.

[@lewishorsman2219]

Nandi, you often fail to take into account high ground when using that map for showcasing.

[@boybibimbap20]

among raid boss, who will sygex be effective against?are there any?

[@duongbuiha8251]

Hi, Can you pls explain about "add hits" balance in this note patch ? I wonder how it will work with Thoread and if Vitruvius get that balance too ?

[@manhteodc]

Say-gex 😂

[@scarletcroc3821]

Honestly a very interesting character. If it weren’t for the movement of 2 he would probably be a great choice for Szarekh

[@hell1942]

Even with the movement he's decent I think It's not much different from other units like snotflogga who has a movement of 3 and a melee atk making his effective range the same as this guy with 3 hex ranged atk

[@kudaj90]

So... his passive does nothing against rogal dorn, right?

[@Corusame]

Mech teams shaking in their metallic boots

[@sqocks8254]

I was kinda curious that SY-GEX wasn't a mechanical unit, I kinda forgot vehicle is automatically a mechanical unit. '^^

[@nueveocho5511]

Will the new campaigns be farmeable?

[@Tiku-]

Probably, but if I had to guess it’ll most likely be one of those with token crap. It’s why they made it an event in the first place, to monetise the fuck out of it

[@Broin_One_Eye]

Surely he's meant to pair up with Vitruvious? Would Vits passive not allow Sy to attack four times in one turn? Is there something I'm missing?

[@SeventhSolar]

Please explain what you mean by that? Vitruvius doesn't allow characters to attack more, he just adds hits to existing attacks. Sy-Gex would get double damage on his active, and +1 hit for 25% more damage on his normal attack.

[@Broin_One_Eye]

@@SeventhSolar Apologies, the reference was meant to be indicative of damage as you say. As Sygex gets only 1x hit, Vitruvious would allow 2x damage on active, and 2x damage on passive. The equivalent of Sy hitting 4 times over two targets.

[@ivokostov2676]

Are we getting more orks ? I like orks. We need more green.Be honest kind was suprised we got like 2 nd faction of Tyranids.

[@Blehster_Bleh]

9:19 "armour reduction" and you don't show my boy Haarken :

[@ClaudiuStefanAioanei]

He's a tank in man form

[@theguywhooasked]

Would Sy-gex's active gain an extra hit from vitruvius' passive?

[@mason6883]

Everyone gains an extra hit from Vit's passive. He's seen as best for buffing single hit characters because they tend to do the most damage per hit.

[@theguywhooasked]

@mason6883 yeah that's why I asked specifically for his active cause it's a single hit with a lot of damage, just didn't know if it would count as an attack

[@SeventhSolar]

@@theguywhooasked Anything that deals damage directly is an attack in this game.

[@theguywhooasked]

@SeventhSolar Great, thanks 👍

[@Alucard-dg1fo]

Azrael works with this character too nandi

[@hell1942]

How so

[@garrywilling3711]

Excellent round up. But your analysis always assumes everybody has all of the meta legendaries for raids and they absolutely don't. This guy will be a beast against Dorn for newer players, and would work in the multi-hit or ad-mech teams vs Dorn. Particularly if his passive works with his active. He'll also be strong against Ghazghkull for the same reasons.

[@Nandi40k]

Fair points, but I think movement of 2 will hurt him too much in raids especially against the bosses mentioned

[@DakkaScrappa]

in short SY-GEX works best in guild raids or against Necrons

[@OracleofChaos-i6z]

Of course one more imperial unit with overwatch how many are already in the game? At least three, and still there is no chaos character with overwatch...

[@sqocks8254]

How is 3 overwatch characters spread across 8 imperial factions as evenly as possible so egregious when 6 Xeno faction not only have a total of 4 bloody overwatch characters, but also get to cram 2 in the same team or give them repeating overwatch? Also; Like 90% of the chaos characters are melee, most of those with ranged attacks are psykers and Snowprint are beholden to the Tabletop design. Can you name a prevalent Chaos unit from the existing factions that has overwatch?

[@OracleofChaos-i6z]

@sqocks8254 There are 19 chaos units at least 6 are not good at mele( 4 thousand sons and 2 black legion) so where are 90% from? Talking about tabletop if I not mistaken obliterators have reasonable health unlike Volk. What about Xenos faction agree, though techinqly Re'vas can use overwatch once per battle.

[@sqocks8254]

@@OracleofChaos-i6z The 90% came from me mentally already putting the spyker aside without making mention of this, I should have said _"Almost 90% of Chaos units are melee only or spyker characters.",_ sorry. '^^ Chaos current has 19 characters in total: *- 11 melee only* *- 5 spykers* *- 3 normal ranged attacks with Volk, Yazaghor and Toth* _100÷19×16 ≈ 84%_ And you are probably right about tabletop Obliterators. Unfortunately I can't really think of any Chaos characters with an overwatch(adjacent) traits/abilities. Though I suppose that is any of the current Chaos characters would get it, Volk would be the most fitting. And yeah, I was kinda doubting if Re'vas did or did not count. But fair is fair, he isn't part of the overwatch club despite his best efforts. :p

[@franciscorafaelmontielpale7854]

Shame he came too late into the game, this guy alone would have easily won the Nekron campaigns. However cant deny that he still incredibly useful, specially now with the Terminator characters rework, because unless you have a psyker you are not taking any of them down.

[@tciaravino]

Love your content but most of it is irrelevant to me as I have been grinding for a couple of months and my game is at 160000 power and the example is 400k over my power please show examples for those who are in that range or lower. If you can find the time. But why watch if the example of a character has a higher power rating than you have in the game? (not angry or anything many of your tips have been helpful). Keep up the good work :)

[@Nandi40k]

im going to do more beginner stuff soon

[@peterusmc20]

I like the concept of an anti armour unit and I'm glad he is a vehicle but I'm pretty disappointed from a faction point of view. Doesn't really synergise with or solve the problems of the current ad mech team in for example the faction TA and he has essentially no uses outside of pvp. He doesn't even have any real synergies with other mechanical units, overwatch units teams, heavy weapon teams etc. He's okay with for example thadd but worse than Maugan Ra imo and possibly invicta. Would have liked him to be better defensively and/or be able to force movement to chain more exitor rho attacks in an enemy is spread out. I think its unfortunate that revas or sho syl fills his role on the mech team better than he does. He stands out at least as like an anti-tank unit (ironic) but he's also only an anti tank unit against some tanks? And vs gravis or terminator I think exitors direct damage is more effective and fills that role on the team. Weird to me. Would be cool if the active was rechargeable somehow either by time or getting a kill or something.

[@chriro0960]
