What is this, I don't even

I'll be the first to admit, that I don't get this guy at all. This is a post just to get things going on the discussion as I see it. That said, I feel like this is the "one shot" breakers type guy mentioned on sharpshooter. So, much like the general consesus is, his money is spent to summon breakers before the ice rez, and use the rez money to pay for the break. This means you need as efficient breakers as possible, and ways to make breaking cheap.

So, LLDS helps bring breakers up to strength while installing, and being cheap enough that you don't need piles of money 'just in case' you need to install something big. Makes me consider inti! Imagine installing inti on the fly and its str 4...or 6 if on dino.

Cyberfeeder helps add untouchable credits to the pool for breaking and boosting. Effectively shrinking the Str to cost to break ratio. Also, for this same reason, grappling hook helps you with multisub-expensive breakers.

Aesops is there to eat replicators since LLDS must be out early to help keep the insta-install break costs down. Also it synergizes with casts and breakers you suddenly don't need.

Essentially what this does is turns breakers into flickering breakers, to borrow from magic.

The downsides is it feels slow while you look for your breaker tutors. Maybe using more of an exile method of diesel/QT and FCC would be better, but I don't know, overdraw and dumping might be just as good.

This guy needs personal workshop.....badly. LLDS and Grappling hook are great cards to play with him. Still think that Emergency shutdown is a good idea too.

And I would change Daily Casts for Armitage too. You really need on demand money with him. The Daily Casts credit may be lost to a paper wall and you don't want that.

I have to second the bit about Personal Workshop, it's in-faction, it lets you rush-install programs just in case.

I keep wondering about Sahasrara for a strategy like this, given that at any one time, your installed programs are minimal/per-use.

I keep thinking about Snitch for this identity as well. That way you know what to install right before you lose your credits.

^ didn't mean to start two sentences with "I keep", sorry :(

Personally I would go with at least one e3 Feedback Implants

That's not its actual benefit (as you can install after the ICE rezzes, but before you lose the credits - look at the wording). The actual benefit of Snitch in this identity would be getting to decide whether to let the Corp rez said ICE or not (you can jack out after you've seen the ICE, but before they can rez).

That definitely makes it an include in my book, good catch :)

Cool, some conversation. I would think about personal workshop, but he already feels like he's made of glass, having mills and tagging be a huge liability seems painful. Though the full tutor suite we know today does make this kinda slow and undependable. So yea, maybe it is needed, like a classic noiseshop only not anarch.

Snitch is an interesting choice. Where in the timing structure would recon let you get out, before or after losing credits? After right, since its when you encounter? So you could use recon as an economy card to blindly run at a remote, let them pay to rez a bastion (meh) and gain the 4, or say a kitana and gain that 4 and safely bounce off. Seems like an interesting include....
