Nasty skulker have too much AP

[Invisible]

For such a cheap and numerous unit they have way to much AP. They kill armored units to easy. I know no other faction with such a T1 unit. I tested them myself with skarsnik. Really nasty and in my opinion way to overpowerd for their cost.

Edit: Nasty skulkers are T2.

[Jarmam]

Skulkers are tier 2 tho, are they not? And they gain most of their offensive power when theyre winning a fight - simply commit a bit more to the fight and they lose their advantage, yes-yes?

[Xaphnir]

And they're also one of (if not the) most fragile units in the game for its cost.

That's kind of the point of them. Pun intended. Skarsnik is at a pretty big disadvantage in the campaign because he only gets gobbos for a long time unless he rushes Eight Peaks. The Skulkers AP and stealth is the core of his most viable strategy. Especially because he's got to contend with Dwarves pretty early on. Nerf them too much and Crooked Moon becomes even more of a non-entity on the campaign map

This is also true. They aren't really a front line unit and are at their Nastiest when they Skulk

Shoot'em with arrows, they have no shields. Since ranged fire is a dominant feature in Warhammer2.

[Andrewbh2003]

they are the best in-class unit in the game yes

but there in-line with other unit types in that "class" marauders with GW red crested skinks etc

they do have there downsides and against dwarfs specifically dawi have quite a lot of ways to deal with em

Very difficult because of stalking.

Try fast moving vanguard skirmishers, or if Dwarfs: Reserve your higher melee defense infantry on the flanks, and have your flanks engaged away from facing the direct rear of your line, or perhaps, build some rangers and return the favor.

Someone doe not know the concept of glass cannon

[Private Pyle]

one of my favorite units. they are really weak vs ranged.

Terrible leadership, nonexistent armor, low hp per model and fairly blobbed up formation. Nasty skulkers are good if they get the jump on you but any half decent cav charge or missile volley turns them to mush and sends them running for the hills.

The unit in SP can be buffed so good its broken, if you add the AI bonus as well they become godly when fighting them, its a nice balanced unit in MP but its terrible in SP due the sandbox/difficulty buffs the AI gets, not sure what the answer is really.

CA should tone down the battle dificulty in area's and nerf their scrap upgrade/s I think.

19 of these on skarsnik or grom and bye bye bye all 20 armies Belegar has in his 3settlement province xD. They are amazing against dawi .
