<u>{{PAGENAME}} as an arc node</u>
 
The Arc Node is one of the most useful abilities a model can have, and with Cryx you can field them very cheaply. An arc node allows your warcaster to cast spells using the arc node as the point of origin. The obvious benefit is casting spells on the frontline while staying safely in the backline. You can also use it to launch surprise attacks from unexpected angles, by running an arc node right across the board into a good position before activating your warcaster. For this reason it pays to keep at least one arc node on the outskirts of the conflict, waiting for an opportunity.
 
<u>{{PAGENAME}} as a combat jack</u>
 
With Powerful Attack it's quite an efficient melee combatant with a good chance of rolling a crit for large damage spikes. And it's only 1 point more than the Deathripper, the absolute cheapest arc node.
 
Cryx's arc nodes are not renown for being a threat in combat, often used solely as arc nodes. Use this misconception to surprise your opponents.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* If you want to use it in melee, try Empowering it with a [[Warwitch Siren]] first. With 2 focus it has a better chance of killing whatever it attacks and thus getting itself un-engaged and free to arc spells again.
* [[Skarre1]] can cast Dark Guidance for an extra attack die, giving it a fantastic chance of rolling a critical.
* [[Venethrax]] he loves an arc node for mortality and terminal velocity helps land the crit. Counter charge is also a lot better on the ripjaw, due to its enhanced combat profile.
* Likewise, casters or models that grant rerolls can help reach a critical roll. The [[Withershadow Combine]] or [[Eilish]] brinmg Puppet master for this. [[Scaverous]] has Knowledge of the Damned.
* [[Asphyxious4]] - In a match up where you want to place his clouds in a more forward position, or want to sling around some Hellfires, an Arc Node isn't terrible on Gaspy. Dark Shroud makes it's bites leave more of a mark, especially on a crit.
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* Its damage grid has just enough boxes to allow the bonejack to take a good hit and keep going, but a second one will likely leave it crippled if not totally destroyed. This sets the tone for Cryx bonejacks being fast and hard to hit, but easily damaged if they are struck.
* You have to have a plan that involves getting into melee or there isn't much reason  to pick the cheaper [[Deathripper]]
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* [[Slam]] a target to cause damage and leave it knocked down. This has the added benefit of leaving the {{PAGENAME}} out of combat afterwards so its arc node may still be used.

The Ripjaw’s pincer-like jaws are used to hold its victims in place while its bone saw cuts them into mangled and unidentifiable bits. Necrotechs take particular delight in using the Ripjaw, as the ’jack efficiently dismembers its victims into component pieces. Regardless of these lethal armaments, the Ripjaw remains quick and agile like its brethren and serves its master by maneuvering its arc node to wherever required to disrupt the plans of the enemies of Cryx.
