The Praxium Corps were always intended to be a high-skill, high-lethality Squad. But as we played missions, we realized a few things:
- They're generally overpowered
- Their skills and specialisms didn't always fit their lore and how we wanted them to feel on the tabletop
So the following changes have been applied to the Praxium Corps:
- Removed "Duty Before Death" - No squad specialty for Prax (they're individuals)
- It was a duplicate of Interdictors anyway
- All Unit Types at 5 HIT; Leader no longer gives
+1 HIT - Only Melee units get Counter; removed from Ranged units; moved Counter to Skills instead of Squad Specialty
- Aegis:
- Removed Aggressor (pistol)
- Aegis Aura applies only for Melee combat and only to Squadmates, not self
- Vorax:
- Clarified Jump Strike gives a free Melee attack
- Vector:
- Scan is once per mission (or Horde Wave), not per Turn
- Removed Counter
- Wraith:
- Removed Counter
- Pillar:
- Replace Formation with Concentrated Fire: gives a Ranged Combat attack re-roll to Squadmates only, not self
- Removed Counter
- Raptor:
- No changes
