=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
[[File:Aiakos1.jpg|thumb|[[Aiakos1]] ]]
[[File:Captain Aiakos.jpg|thumb|[[Aiakos2]] ]]
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Kharybdis is a versatile warjack with a 12" threat range (before buffs), who only has to make it within 4" of its target often making him ideal for assassination runs. His defensive stats are average but [[Prowl]] (when taken with Aiakos) and [[Steady]] help keep him safe until he can be delivered. 
 
Before the Black Fleet errata he was unpopular due to his points cost and lackluster rules; the general consensus is that he is now a solid package for his points cost.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* Either version of Aiakos lets you use the Acid Cloud / Prowl combo with ease. Either of them can speed Khary up, making its threat range even more respectable.
** [[Aiakos1]] (solo) gives extra speed and Grievous Wounds.
** [[Aiakos2]] (warcaster) gives extra speed and more accurate in melee via Carnage AND a feat turn assault/blind combo
 
* [[Scaverous]]'s TK spell coupled with Aiakos1's Escort can get Kharybdis to a 16" threat range, or even 18" if you manage to TK the target closer. A 21 point package is hard to fit into a Scaverous list, but it is fun.
* [[Skarre2]] likes a Steady model for her feat.
* [[Skarre3]] can give Khary boosted ranged attacks ([[Guided Fire]]), which makes the spray much more likely to Blind targets.
* [[Terminus]] can give Khary berserk ([[Ravager]]) and then you can murder everything in his large 4" melee range.
* In the [[Scourge of the Broken Coast]] theme, the [[Chain Strike]] ability allows him to attack enemy models while staying safe behind a wall of tough, medium-based infantry. This also allows Kharybdis to easily benefit from the [[Gang Fighter]] theme benefit.


===Drawbacks & Downsides===  
{{Weapon|weapon=Tendril |type = M |rng = 3 |rof = - |aoe = - |pow = 16| loc = 2X (L and R)| abilities =  {{AbilitySingle|Throw Power Attack}}{{AbilitySingle|Chain Weapon}} }}
* A tad high on the points cost spectrum.
* He doesn't have Assault, Quick Work, or etc. So you ''can'' use that spray in melee via Gunfighter, but if you do then you'll lose out on your melee attacks.


===Tricks & Tips===
== Additional Rules ==
* Acid Cloud will trigger the Prowl ability when bonded with either [[Aiakos1]] or [[Aiakos2]].
{{Category:Warjack}}
* Acid Cloud's version of "At any time" is different to every other one in the game. This difference means Khary '''can''' use Acid Cloud after running or failing a charge.


* {{Expand
== Changes and Updates ==
|ID=Khary_Acid
===Mk3 to Mk4===
|Intro=When the Acid Cloud is centered on you, it extends ''just over'' 1" past your base edge. So anyone with 0.5" or 1" range on their melee weapon ''has'' to enter it to attack you in melee.<br>Here's the math:
|Content=
** 1" = 25.4mm
** A 4" AOE has a radius of 50.8mm. A large base has a radius of 25.0mm.
** So the AOE radius is 25.8mm more than your base radius.
** A model standing 1" away from your base is 25.4mm away, so is 0.4mm within the AOE. Literally ''just'' within the acid.

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.
