I miss the Thagrosh avatar
I've been testing it at home and it still just seems inert. Aside from blowing up an objective when i have nothing better to attack. I fear this puzzle will take a considerably time to figure out
As best I can tell we just have to build every list for attrition now. So Thagrosh1 Oracles and Twins perhaps?

Super jack spam is an ever present problem in SR2017. If you're unfortunate enough to have a Khador player in your meta that's willing to spam 10 of the same heavy with Karchev like I do you can be forced into playing a drawn out slugfest with them which is the exact opposite of what we want to do. Thagrosh1 is the best option we have for pure grinding. Hex Hunters with Bayal get Stealth from Fog of War and can Shadowbind/Hex Bolt heavies to keep them under control.
The Twins are there to deal with gunlines (Kara Sloan notwithstanding) and dudespam tactics like we're seeing from Cryx but also catches stuff like Makeda2 Cats, Zaal2 Immortal spam, Exemplar Interdiction and Defenders of Ios in the crossfire. Basically if you rely on melee attacks and lack for ways of getting at Wrong Eye you're going to have a really bad time trying to remove Rhyas with Guard Dog and Starcrossed keeping her safe. The Scythean is mainly there to bring Grievous Wounds but he benefits nicely from Occultation. The only thing that feels lacking is a Naga to deal with Incorporeal stuff like Blackbanes but that may not end up being necessary with how easy it is to get magic weapons from an Armory these days.
