Jakes2's feat says "affected models' melee weapons become RNG 2 and gain electro leap". Does this include impact attacks? The mount attack is a melee weapon, is it not?

From my recollection, yes, it does. Your mount attacks gain 2 inch reach and electroleap.

That sounds kind of amazing. A unit of lances with her feat can take out ALL the infantry.

I would say it does work, but keep in mind that you still need to contact an enemy model to trigger impact attacks and after that it would indeed be at 2".

2 inches in arc that you roll to hit on everything first, then do eleaps, then roll damage on anything still alive. Would be fun.  |

Maybe - it completely depends on positioning. But If you get 3-4 impact attacks en route to the charge target, that's an additional 3 or 4 e-leaps, which ain't bad. Impact attacks are usually going to get two targets max when they're a half inch range. But two inch impact attacks? That's crazy sauce. And when your impact attack is hitting a target two inches away, the chances that the e-leap will go into a target you aren't already impact attacking is greater.

So that means they’d mostly leap into the same targets as the impacts? Very likely. Also keep in mind it is against all models in your front arc in melee range so if you have your own model there you will attack them too. It does increase your odds of clearing out a unit/model that is screening a jack or something else you want to charge. |

Positive charge on a firefly and send that close to their charge/impact target on feat turn would further add to the devastation. +2 to hit and damage as well as +2 e-leap ionisation buff. Woof

Woof Ah, but this is the other side of the coin about e-leaps not being attacks. Positive Charge gives +2 hit and damage on attacks, and e-leaps aren't attacks. The impact attacks would get it. Meow. |

I believe Ionization specifically says +2 to all electric damage rolls. It does not specify attacks. I am not familiar enough with her feat to remember if her feat makes weapons electric but I thought it did not.

Ionization absolutely affects e-leaps. Positive charge doesn't. Quack.

This works because Kruger 1 can do the exact same thing with lightning tendrils and wolf riders The 2" reach e-leap impact attacks are awesome for sure |
