A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.   Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27) Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range? Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13) Explanation: This post is correct. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10) Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks?

Warjack Rules

Convergence of Cyriss warjacks are called vectors. While being a "Vector" isn't a gameplay rule, the Convergence warjacks do carry some additional rules of their own that set them apart from normal warjacks.

Interface Node	This model has an interface node instead of a cortex, represented by the I boxes on the damage grid. This model gains focus, and can have no more than 3 points at any time. This model can spend focus only during its activation. This model cannot gain or spend focus while its interface node is crippled. This model is immune to effects that cause a warjack to suffer damage directly to its cortex. This model is immune to effects that require a warjack to have a functional cortex. No errata for Interface Node (Create)
Warcaster Dependent MAT and RAT	This model's MAT and RAT are equal to the current MAT and RAT of its controlling warcaster. This model does not directly benefit from MAT/RAT bonuses, but any alteration to a controlling warcaster's MAT/RAT will be passed along to this model. Effects that affect attack rolls will affect this model normally. No errata for Warcaster Dependent MAT and RAT (Create)
No Power Up	This model does not power up and does not automatically gain a focus point for being in the controlling warcaster's control range during the Control Phase. No errata for No Power Up (Create)
Force Induction	When this model spends a focus point during its activation, you can give a focus point to another warjack with an operational interface node if the two are in the same battlegroup and are within 9 inches of one another. This does not override the Interface Node rule limiting the warjack's focus points to 3. No errata for Force Induction (Create)

Errata

No Errata specifically for this model.

Lore

An enemy soldier who finds himself the target of a Mitigator stares death in the face. He knows that once it launches its razor bola, fitted with spikes that actuate with enough force to easily puncture armor and bone, his chances of escape are practically nil. Those who survive the impact of the razor bola find themselves entangled, helpless against the constructs and clockwork vessels of the Convergence that close in to methodically eliminate ensnared targets.

Thoughts on Mitigator

Mitigator in a nutshell

A light jack that can knockdown any model (or other models within the aoe) on a direct hit or that can make decent ranged shots to take out single wound targets. A deviating puncture is also great for infantry or high-def solos.

Combos & Synergies

• Units with flare : Cipher, Attunement Servitors. Often, flared enemies are good targets to hit with boosted attack rolls.
• Casters with decent RAT : Well, for convergence it would be Directrix, Orion or Syntherion.
• Servitors : Put them really close, and shoot them in the back. You sacrifice one servitor, but it's worth it to get a knockdown on a key model.
• Prime Axiom : Our beloved colossal always yearns for dragging and scrapping. Knocked down targets are easy to drag! Also a good way to spawn some friendly Attunement Servitors.
• Orion obviously Orion’s feat, spell piercer and high Rat help it hit infantry but reposition 3 also helps it avoid being charged and magic bullet will still trigger as normal.
• Eradicators if there is no single wound infantry worth shooting the gun can still set up the Eradicators finisher ability.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• It's a light vector, so poor defensive stats, and lackluster melee.
• Short range on the gun if you want to knockdown. If your target is in range, you're in charge range, a miss will be deadly.
• it’s unlikely to make its points back in a single round of shooting making the above issues more prevalent.
• With a ranged puncture attack it's a pain for Induction chains as it's hard to spend more than 1 focus for shooting.

Tricks & Tips

• Under Syntherion's feat, you can charge him at a target and then shoot something else, to give your short range aoe a little bit more threat.
• Puncture is outstanding against high-ARM, single-wound infantry formations, like Iron Fang Pikemen, Praetorian Karax, Bane Knights or Dawnguard Sentinels.
