That's quite solid for Abby. If you have one, a harrier instead of a shredder might be worthwhile.

Why so may shredders if you are using the Pot. Double Scythian, full pot, and a Shepherd would be my suggestion.

I think the biggest thing for Aby. is having a target for all 3 upkeeps.

Which to me.. says heavies.

I would try to squeeze in a 3rd heavy or maybe a medium to eat the 3rd upkeep spell.. Id lean towards the heavy though.

Then again, this is a 25 pts and this List looks fun to play, maybe to many shredders for my taste is all.

She can always cast carnivore on herself if there's not another good target. I do tend to run really heavy heavy with her, though.

Angels with Forced Evo + Tenacity are DEF 17, ARM 18... They are amazing.

I like Typhon for Playing god, because reach wins, and Carnivore works great on Scytheans.

Abby +5
Typhon 11 (Playing God, Forced Evo+Ten Backup)
Scythean 8 (Carnivore)
Angel 8 (Forced Evo+Ten = DEF 17/ARM18!)
Shredder 2 (Ten/Transfer Battery)
Shredder 2 (Dup/Solo removal)
Harrier 2 (Animus for late game on Abby)
Forsaken 2
Forsaken 2
Forsaken 2
Shepherd 1 (Helps Extend the Forcing Range)

There is a lot of Fury management, but it will provide Advanced Move for all three of you heavies as part of the tier bonuses, and the Lights gain Adv. Dep. so they'll all be 6" ahead turn one. Abby will likely cast Animi and charge to keep up.

I love her tier, its a lot of fun, but do not feel pigeon holed into using her ONLY in tier. Try her out with some units like Striders+UA or the Raptors. Her real weakness in Tier is a serious lack of a solid Ranged element. Dual Ravagores helps but eats up points. Adv. Move Ravagores shoot across the table a long ways!

I'll second angels being fantastic in an abby list, they are so hard to hit that very few things can 1-round them due to needing to boost to hit so much, makes great synergy with her feat.

@ def 17, even boosted MAT 6 need 11's to hit... Above average rolls for boosted attacks is a good time. It can face tank like a boss, but you need to know where to place him. Mulg under Wild Aggresion is a bad time
