Tacticus Sho’syl – Firesight Marksman
Hidden behind shimmering stealth fields, a Firesight Marksman transmits targeting data to the MV71 Sniper Drones in their thrall or, when deadly precision shots are not enough, calls in seeker missile strikes from artillery and air support.
Tacticus Sho’syl Abilities
Seeker Missile Frequency Lock
A target enemy unit in range 5 receives a Markerlight until the end of the Firesight Marksman’s next turn. At the beginning of the Firesight Marksman’s next turn, if he is still in play, the target is hit by a Seeker Missile dealing 1x X Heavy Round Damage. This ability’s Damage ignores all of the attacker bonuses and modifiers (including elevation), and cannot Crit.
MV71 Sniper Drone Squad
Instead of a ranged attack, the Firesight Marksman summons a MV71 Sniper Drone and commands it to attack the target, using the Marksman’s Damage stat. The target also gains a Markerlight until the end of the Marksman’s next turn. If the Firesight Marksman already controls 3 MV71 Sniper Drones, the one with the lowest Health is removed before the new Drone is summoned.
