=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=  
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
Prospero is primarily a support model, but his construct form makes him a resilient combatant. He can work with your main warcaster, providing Veteran Leader and additional focus for an extended battlegroup, be the leader of his own combat unit, or provide opportunity to run other support ‘jacks without burdening your caster.
 
The change to Prima Materia and the Cutting Edge benefit has made Instability Equation a slightly weaker spell in that theme, as unless the Warjack is knocked down, has several systems destroyed and can’t repair its cortex, is disrupted or apart of the main battlegroup it is often better to just allocate 1 focus and let Power-Up and Cutting Edge get you back up to 3 focus points.


===Prospero's battlegroup===
* [[Suppressor]] and [[Retaliator]] - spray weapons benefit immensely from Guided Fire and similiar spells.
** The [[Suppressor]] becomes incredibly accurate thanks to shooting gallery, vet leader and guiding fire and unlike the [[Retaliator]] it can use Prospero’s field marshal and spray in the same turn.
** Prospero's ranged attack gets boosted damage from the [[Retaliator]]'s Oil.
* [[Vulcan]] - Prospero makes for a decent focus battery and can easily hide behind its huge base.
* A team of [[Vanguard]]s in Prima Materia can provide 4 shieldguards at ARM 19.


===Combos & Synergies===
== Solo  Rules ==
* [[Aurum Lucanum Athanor Locke]] - fields a lot of jacks, an ideal army for Prospero.
{{Category:Solo}}
* [[Aurum Adeptus Syvestro]] - his Super Fuel ability affects Prospero (as he is a construct) and his battlegroup as well.
* [[Captain Eira Mackay]] really likes to have Prospero to buff all her 'jacks with Veteran Leader, and Prospero gets boosted damage from Mackay's feat.
* Being a construct, he can be healed by [[Crucible Guard Mechanik]]s.


===Drawbacks & Downsides===
==Errata==
* Prospero isn't exactly squishy, but he's not that durable either and on a medium base you can end up with an inert warjack if you aren't careful enough.
No Errata specifically for this model.  
* Note that Dispel works only on melee attacks.
* He does not do much for the melee warjacks apart from his Field Marshall.


* Unstable: It never works when you want it to, and it always works when you don't want it to.
== Changes and Updates ==
** You can't rely on an Unstable warjack to block charge lanes, threaten free strikes, etc. You always have to plan your other models' positions around the assumption that Unstable removes the warjack.


===Tricks & Tips===
===Mk3 to Mk4===
* Guided Fire works really well with sprays at angles as ever.
* Don't blow up your own jacks until they are already almost dead. But when they are this can make a large hole in the enemy lines.
* Don't forget about Field Marshal [Dispel] on his 'jacks' melee weapons/fists. It doesn't see a ton of utility because Prospero prefers ranged warjacks but it can be a critical capability.

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.

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).

Lore

Had destiny chosen a different path for him, Prospero would have been one of the greatest warcasters to grace the Order of the Golden Crucible and the Crucible Guard. But Prospero was not to achieve his full potential. When the Khadorans assaulted Llael, Propsero’s body was destroyed. To preserve his life, his brother, Aurum Adeptus Syvestro, had his brain placed in a new body. Now Prospero is a towering mechanikal man. Visual and audio receivers feed him sensory data, and he can once again interact with the living world. But the towering warcaster talent he once displayed has been muted, suppressed by his time spent in darkness and the new, unfamiliar form he now inhabits.
