Really enjoy watching your review videos and agree that the "not sugar coated" opinion is the best way to approach these types of reviews. As a newer player, I'm happy to see you covering new N4 faction reviews and can't wait for more, but if I could make a tiny suggestion/ request, would it be possible to include the model pictures during the unit review (maybe a thumbnail superimposed in a blank space) or right before you review the unit. I found this approach really helpful in your older videos as it helped me associate the name and profile of the unit to the model(s) (plus we get the bonus of looking at awesome models). I really appreciate the work you put into your reviews, thank you!
I am someone who has commented about negativity in your videos before. However, just to add to that, I really liked this video because you still tried to find a use for Yadu even though you don't think they are a good choice. Great job really. More stuff like this please!
Fair enough. We all have the units we just like to find some use for regardless of how good they are in actual fact. And I think it's good that Vaul is so brutally honest about things as they stand. He's not here to confirm our biases about those units and factions, he's out there to help us out to become better at this game.
Cracking video VaulSC. I'm a new player to Infinity certainly to Code One and N4. I started in Infinity with both the Operation Coldfront and Beyond Coldfront sets. I'm really enjoying the Ariadna units force, and was wondering exactly the best way to expand my Aleph force. This was tremendously useful thank you.
No need to apologise for giving your experienced opinion. OSS is my main thes days, i started with JSA and combined but fell in love with the OSS. In my more limited experience I have dropped Yadu altogether. I love my Asura hacker but thats the main reason I came to the faction but I have been leaving her out to get to 15 orders. I still bring her now and again just for fun! I love the marut but i rrally dislike the model, Im thinking about converting up a new one combining parts from my marut and another tag. Love to see some more reviews mate and even if some disagree at times, keep teling it like you see it!
Thanks, as always, mate. Always enjoy your videos and the no bullshit approach. Any chance you would be willing to do an O12 breakdown? I am finding them mostly middling and a bit meh. Cheers!
This was a very helpful review for me as a new player. Thank you for puttin in the effort. I have been enjoying playing the Asura a lot to learn the game as she can do a bit of everything and is resilient enough to survive mistakes. A bit sad to hear that her value drops for better gamers but I get your explaination. I guess she is not good enough to justify her cost (like the Marut is). Pity but I think I'll get the model anyway for learning games.
Just learn that there is no absolute in Infinity. If you enjoy your Asura, keep playing it ( it's a robot :P). In N3 people were saying TAGs were unplayable and people still won big tournaments with them. Or that one group only was not competitive enough and still some people won with those. So take VaulSC's comments with the outlook of a very good player but don't treat at as gospel
@@brice9384 Thank you. Yeah, that's what I plan to do. It's Vaul's reasoning that is helpful. I'm not planning to copy his lists or his playstyle. However, I try to comprehend his analysis in order to understand the game and the meta. For the moment, I'm absolutely happy with my Asura and its (!) performance.
There's some interesting symmetry I hadn't spotted before here - with the netrods being cheap orders with useless bodies, and the posthumans being fantastic bodies that don't add orders. Definitely feels like those two units compliment each other beautifully.
In N3 the symmetry was such that, as long as there was a single (non-isolated, since then they were not Veterans) Netrod on the table, the Posthuman order would remain available despite all bodies being Null/ISO, but the Netrods were a must also because without at least one on the table (neither Null, nor ISO), if the Active Posthuman was ISOlated, it would remain locked there, unable to jump to other bodies (with the Netrod, the posthuman escaped, and simply lost access to that body until the ISO were removed). Overcomplicated, all in all. Incidentally, the EC also has those "netrods" (Onyx, Vanilla), so beware XD
Love watching your videos. Getting into Aleph as new player. Is there a recent update to this video since Blackwind has come out? Is the information still the same?
If you shoot a gizmokit at a Netrod, it'll die instantly. They're PH 0. Danavas has a marker state from Cybermask, although she can't use it first turn. (I think the hacker other factions use that you're trying to think of is Valerya Gromoz?)
I really hoped White Company would give the Yadus a reason to exist, when it was announced that Aleph troops would be in it. But alas they aren't. Missed opportunity, because the models are really great.
someone explain the reason ppl are mad he doesnt like the Yadu troopers much? Or why should I take Yadu over dakinis thats gives more orders and is more tanky?
Yadu just have to much cost in there kit and there contemporary got cheaper making them obsolete. If Yadu got wildcard or cheaper then they could be worth it.

I have recently expanded my aleph from pure phalanx to having OSS starter
this is very helpful, thanks for the rundown

After watching this, I noticed a lot of change now. I'm new coming back to the game after some years away.
Thanks, as always, mate. Always enjoy your videos and the no bullshit approach. Any chance you would be willing to do an O12 breakdown? I am finding them mostly middling and a bit meh. Cheers!
Sure, here's the breakdown right now. They're mostly middling and a bit meh!
@@VaulSC well played sir, well played lol.

Will you do an OSS review again for this sectorial again now a year later?

I found some value in mine.... I've been using them as proxy human proxies haha
Considering the yadu in oss, how would you judge it against the sombras and the evaders in corregidor? Thanks.

Saving tr bott on 18. Rolled 19.
