Thanks to Haley's fantastic ability, you can now power out a stealth rig faster than ever.

Use Modded and Career Fair in combination with Comet to play out your pieces in combinations of up to 4 at a time, and keep the gas coming with Diesel and Earthrise Hotel.

This list is very proactive, and linear, culminating in an R&D lock and a Legwork. As for the decision points, there's Dagger or Switchblade to choose from, depending on the Corp's style, and whther or not the bring in the Study Guide.

If you find the corp wanting to go longer and calling on Tollbooths or Vikto 2.0s, you can match it no worries. Find your study guide, and use your recurring credits to gradually power it up. Keep Refractor around until 4 or 5 charges, then chuck it away.

Stacked barriers will still be pretty miserable. I wonder if there's a way to get a Surfer in here?

Hey @shielsy. Have you made any updates to this through Data & Destiny?

not specifically just yet, although i have been thinking a lot about shapers in post-d&d, and will probably have a something together in a few weeks. Im just taking a break for a fortnight or so to do my exams, so i cant wait to get back into it.

just off the top of my head, I think aesop's builds (even just 2 copies) that can take advantage of both modes on hunting grounds might be well positioned, especially since those lists can take full advantage of clone ship in non-fa matchups (where its basically dedicated to clot) or ppvp lists than can easily splash Laywer up

I just feel like plascrete or massable tag protection is so vital at the moment, with so many cheezy nbn decks being explored, which makes me wanna put this particular stealth list (and stealth lists in general) for a few months while the meta stabilises. Like, there's not even any link in here, which is not something that had be even remotely considered 4-5 months ago when i toyed around with this list a bit, but seems very relevant now.

However, if i was going to insist on playing this, I would go:

-2 comet -3 diesel -1 silencer -lady

+3 astrolabe +1 dorm computer +1 refractor +1 cloak +1 corroder

and i probably stop going for study guide outside of situations where i've already got a soft rnd.

@FarCryFromHuman Yeah your assessment is spot on, especially for multiple small barriers or even a single ashigaru. lady is still very efficient in most of these situations, but you get locked out pretty quickly, so a 2/1 split of lady corroder is probably fine
