=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=  
==Videos==
==={{PAGENAME}} in a Nutshell===
Rockbottom's function is to enhance the performance of the otherwise lackluster Sea Dog units with his coins. He is indispensable in a privateer army and should always be taken with Shae, or any privateer army that runs infantry-heavy.


Rockbottom is one of the five privateer support solos alongside Hawk, Killingsworth, Dougal and the Bosun. He is arguably the best of the five because his boosts work on the [[Commodore Cannon]].
==Lore==


===Combos & Synergies===
Any [[Privateer]] unit will appreciate his coins. That's what he was made for.
* Money Shot works only on ranged attacks, Privater units with guns include:
** [[Scharde Pirates]] (in The Talion Charter) - Money Shot is simply brutal on RAT 5 POW 12 assault sprays. Especially with No Quarter, where they go far.
** [[The Commodore Cannon & Crew]] love Money Shot, as does the [[Sea Dog Deck Gun]].


* Payday works on melee focused Privateers:
''The Rhulic pirate Lord Joln Rockbottom is Captain Shae's expedition financier. He ensures the pirates are well paid and equipped for the bloody work ahead. Coin is not his only weapon, for Lord Rockbottom enjoys employing a fire-belching firearm that has ended the lives of many who underestimated him.''
** [[Press Gangers]] use Payday for Overtake and boosted attack rolls to help them maximize their Gang and Shanghai abilities.
 
* The following units will appreciate both, depending on the situation
** [[The Devil's Shadow Mutineers]] Money Shot works for Zira and Morland to a lesser extent. Pay Day can theoretically allow Mar to kill lots of infantry since she has Berserk, but this is an opportunity that doesn't come along often.
** [[Sea Dog Pirates]] can benefit from either Payday or Money Shot. Payday is especially effective on them as they gain Overtake as well as a second boosted melee attack. Money Shot on Riflemen and Mr Walls with [[Dougal]]'s mini feat and No Quarter can make them quite devastating at range.
 
* [[First Mate Hawk]] - Object of Desire stacked with Payday on Press Ganges or Sea Dogs makes them devastating into living models
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* He only has five coins. Once they're gone, he doesn't have much to do. He'll look for a flag to score or a zone to contest.
* Despite being a dwarf, he isn't a Rhulic model and isn't allowed in [[Hammer Strike]]. <br>In the fluff he's been excommunicated from Rhul, or something.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* The combos described above outline what he does. It's up to you to figure out how best to spend those coins.
* He can spend coins on units. Not solos.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Tough
Tough
When this model is disabled, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, remove 1 damage point from this model; it is no longer disabled and becomes knocked down. While knocked down, this model loses Tough.

  Errata-Tough on 4-5-6 (2023-6-22)
Question: If a feat or ability says when a model "makes a Tough roll of 4,5, or 6... that model can remove 1 damage point," does that mean the model gets to remove 1 damage point from that ability PLUS another damage point from the Tough ability?
Answer: No, you only remove 1 damage point.
Explanation: You will only heal one point of damage due to [Madrak's] feat

Dual Attack
Dual Attack

This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. 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.

  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? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot).
Answer: No.
Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too.

Battle Plan

This model can use one of the following plans at any time during its activation:


Money Shot - RNG 5. Target friendly Faction warrior model/unit. If the model/unit is in range, it gains +2 RAT and +2 to its ranged damage rolls for one turn.
Payday - RNG 5. Target friendly Faction unit. If the unit is in range, it gains boosted melee attack rolls and Overtake for one turn.
When this model destroys one or more enemy models with a basic melee attack during its Combat Action, after the attack is resolved it can immediately advance one inch.


No errata for Overtake (Create)


Walk It Off - RNG 10. Target friendly Faction warrior model/unit. If the model/unit is in range, continuous effects, knockdown and stationary on the affected models immediately expire.
No errata for Battle Plan (Create)
No errata for Money Shot (Create)
No errata for Payday (Create)
No errata for Walk It Off (Create)



Weapons

Fire Breather
 RNG   ROF   AOE   POW   LOCATION 
SP 8 1 - 12 -
Pistol
Pistol

A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.

  Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17)
Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray?
Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee.
Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model.
