Mission 054: I Know Kung Fu

Close Combat is a tool in Infinity that’s often misunderstood and misused. This is especially true for JSA, which is a faction full of close combat monsters where you’re encouraged to just kung fu something because it’s awesome.

As we’ve discovered in our Immortal Combat episodes with Professor Willet, close combat is incredibly risky, even if you’re “good at it.”

So when should you use it? In certain cases you might need it to force multiple saves on a Totally Immune model:

Bravery Without Forethought

Sometimes you can use it to keep yourself alive deep in enemy territory:

State Secrets

Or sometimes it’s just the right tool:

Inconceivable Ikari

This month’s mission is about finding the right balance of when to use it for you and your playstyle! Maybe explore some options for CC in your faction that you haven’t tried and add it to your toolkit!

The Mission

1. Make a list that you think can achieve the Predator classified.
2. Play a game and achieve the Predator classified (whether it’s a classified for you or not).
3. Write in with your experience for the chance to win fabulous prizes!
