Razhoir:
Dans le livestream d'hier, Hungerford dit plusieurs choses concernant Cygnar :
Ils prévoient des améliorations de certaines références.
Ils gardent un oeil sur Kara Sloan et risquent d'y toucher pour tempérer ses listes Infernals.
Tout ça ne serait pas intégré dans les CID annoncés, mais dans des Dynamic updates. A priori, ça sera au même moment que le CID Kriel Company.
Il mentionne aussi la fin du CID Convergence :
Ils vont sûrement rajouter Empower à Syntherion.
Merci:

C'est quoi Empower??
Razhoir:
Une action en range CMD qui enlève la disruption sur un warjack et ajoute 1 focus
Razhoir:
J'avais mal compris, le changement sur Syntherion c'est... maintenant !
--- Citer ---Convergence Balance Update
Forge Master Syntherion
Replace the text of Feat: Technological Superiority with the following:
Models in Syntherion’s battlegroup beginning their activations in his control range gain 1 focus and Dual Attack. Technological Superiority lasts for one turn. (A model with Dual Attack can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When a model with Dual Attack makes its initial melee attacks or a power attack, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make ranged attacks even while in melee.)
This model gains Empower:
Empower (★Action) - RNG CMD. Target friendly Faction warjack. If the target warjack is in range and it was suffering Disruption, it is no longer disrupted. The warjack also gains 1 focus point.
Post-CID, we were looking at ways to give Syntherion a way to not only increase his focus efficiency but to also give him something to do each turn besides just casting his spells. The addition of Empower gives Syntherion a unique place in Convergence, allowing induction chains to continue even if they fail at one point during a player’s turn.
With a RNG of 10 thanks to his impressive CMD, this means Syntherion can typically use Empower where he needs its while adding more importance to his positioning each turn.
Cipher
Change this model’s cost to 15
Replace the text of Bombardment on this models Servipod Mortar with the following:
Bombardment - Models hit suffer a POW 8 blast damage roll.
Monitor
Change this model’s cost to 14
Weapon Ellipsaw Flinger loses Critical Brutal Damage and gains Ricochet:
Ricochet - When this model directly hits an enemy model with an initial attack with this weapon, immediately after the attack is resolved this model can make another ranged attack with this weapon targeting another model within 4˝ of the model originally hit, ignoring LOS and this weapon’s RNG. Attacks gained from Ricochet cannot generate additional attacks from Ricochet.
In comparison to the Invertor and the original “float” ’jacks, both the Cipher and the Monitor seemed a bit overcosted for what they were doing. Both of these ’jacks received point decreases and tweaks to their performance. The Cipher’s increased Bombardment POW should make the AOE much more impactful turn to turn, while the Monitor picking up Ricochet on its Ellipsaw Flinger gives it an entirely new purpose when firing its gun: to pick out support pieces hiding in the backlines of the enemy or threaten ’casters from much farther away than expected.
Reciprocators
Change this unit’s cost to 10/16
Perforators
Increase this unit’s RAT to 6.
Increase the range of Protean Javelin to 7.
Weapon Protean Javelin gains Predator Protocol:
Predator Protocol - This attack gains +1 to attack and damage rolls against models with damage boxes.
Add Tactical Tip:
Predator Protocol – Remember a model “with damage boxes” is any model with more than one base damage indicated on its stat card.
Eradicators
Change this unit’s cost to 8/13
This unit gains Finisher:
Finisher - This model gains an additional die on damage rolls against damaged models.
All three medium-based units of infantry received updates. First, we reviewed the role of each unit followed by a review of its point cost when compared to the rest of the Faction.
Reciprocators do exactly what we want them to do: be tanky defenders that can survive a charge then hit back decently. Their points were not correct, however, and they were reduced in line with other options.
Perforators saw a substantial change that not only increased their base ranged offense but further defined their role through the addition of Predator Protocol. Perforators can damage just about anything but are better when facing solos, ’casters, ’jacks/’beasts, etc.—anything that is tougher than most single-wound infantry.
For Eradicators, their base abilities helped them get into the fray, but given how difficult that can be sometimes, we wanted them to be more rewarded when they arrived to the enemy frontline. The addition of Finisher means Eradicators pack a real punch, even if they are acting alone by first dealing their charge damage and then getting a “second charge” on the other initial attack against the now-damaged enemy. Even with the addition of Finisher, we felt they were still overcosted for their performance, and so we lowered their points accordingly.
Clockwork Angels
Increase this unit’s RAT to 6
In comparison to the upcoming Negation Angels, we determined to have both Angel units operate at a higher RAT in order to be more effective in their roles on the table.
Algorithmic Dispersion Optifex
This model gains Induction Relay:
Induction Relay - While in this model’s command range, when a friendly Faction warjack with an interface node gives focus to another warjack, increase the Focus Induction range by 3˝.
The ADO received a massive update with the addition of Induction Relay. We wanted to give this solo more to do in the army than just channel spells, and we were also looking for a way to introduce this type of ability to Convergence as a whole but on a model that could reliably be sniped out by an opponent if they committed their resources to doing so.
The ADO was the perfect place to put such an ability, as it was FA 4, low cost, and not terribly survivable. Thus, Convergence players could bring as many as they wanted for this powerful new ability, but their opponents would have good opportunities at counterplay to remove the ability and bring the Induction chains back to “vanilla” levels.
Steelsoul Protector
Increase this model’s MAT to 7
The Steelsoul is a protection piece that fulfills two roles. It is primarily a Shield Guard solo, but it also has decent hitting power with a bit of board denial thanks to its Defensive Strike ability. At MAT 6, its board denial wasn’t as potent as we wanted it to be, so we increased its MAT to 7 for more reliability in hitting enemies that get too close.
Transfinite Emergence Projector
Change this model’s cost to 18
Compared to other battle engine changes made in the last couple of years, we felt the TEP was performing its role properly but that it was slightly overcosted for what it was doing. Thus, it received a small cost decrease.
Prime Axiom
Replace the text of Launch Servitor with the following:
Launch Servitor - During your Maintenance Phase, you can place one Servitor solo into play completely within 2˝ of this model.
Prime Conflux
Replace the text of Power Grid with the following:
Power Grid - During your Maintenance Phase, you can place one Ionization Servitor into play completely within 2˝ of this model if there are fewer than three Ionization Servitors this model put in play currently in play.
Both Convergence Colossals were changed to have their servitors appear during the Maintenance Phase, as placing them during activation was fine for the Axiom but rather unintuitive for the Conflux, and we wanted consistency across the chassis.
