Thoughts on the Dez

Dez in a nutshell

Dez brings a very powerful gun with Momentum that also happens to be boostable if she begins her turn dug in (she starts the game dug in). A dug in model remains dug in until it is moved, placed or is engaged, so if you can get her to a good firing spot early, she can wreak some havoc.

Combos & Synergies

• Snipe is probably the best spell to make her shine. Anything that gets her further up the table on the first turn for a better dig in position is also good.
• In Soldiers of Fortune she can receive the Mark Target bonus, making her RAT 8.
• She can move, dig in and still shoot under Rahera's feat.
• Gorten can provide Rock Walls for her to slam her targets into. He also loves it when she shoots him in the back while under Solid Ground as this gives him an extra d3" of threat range on his feat.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Most of her downsides are related to the Dig In / Loot mechanic:
  • She is mediocre if she runs out of loot tokens, so she needs to be Dug In as much as possible.
  • You can't shoot and Dig In during the same activation.
  • The usual drawback of Dig In - enemy models that run past will make you un-dug (they don't need to even stop in melee).
• Dez is not good at melee.
• As a range combat solo she competes with other choices such as Kell or Ashley.

Tricks & Tips

• You should always start the game Dug In so she starts with 1 loot token.
