Nasir - Don't Feed the Wyrms!

BAGBRO2 35

Wyrm + Parasite Recursion

Host your replicated hardware on the personal workshop and use any left over credits to pay them down. Eat almost every piece of Ice you encounter. Use the Replicator to get 3x The Personal Touch (on Wyrm), a few Cyberfeeders, and a Self-modifying code (for a Parasite of course) and then you are finally ready to run.

Admittedly, This rig will be a little slow to get up and running, but (in theory), it can really start to slice through newly rezzed Ice.

I like your approach, because I really dig shaper's parasite recursion archetype and you unveiled that this identity compliments it brilliantly. I suggest you add Datasuckers, since their virus token is worth 2 credits with Wyrm. I would cut 2 Wyrms to make room (you don't have to worry with tutors) and maybe consider losing Cyberfeeder and Toolbox for Grimoire and R&D Interface.

I like your suggestions. Adding in the Datasuckers start to make the memory a little tighter (Cloak has got to go) , but I think the Grimoire it makes the parasites very effective and is worth the trade off. Originally, I thought that the reoccurring credits from cyberfeeder would be critical when you encounter Ice that has a higher strength than its rez cost.

The other thing to remember is when you encounter Ice with a very low rez cost, you still need to be able to get a parasite into play to destroy it, and that is where the credits on Cyberfeeder could come in handy as well. I think it needs some actual play to see how it would pan out.

I just printed some proxies of Nasir and I think I give it a whirl.

Thanks for your suggestions.
