Ever since I was a young lad I've had a problem with chewing ice. It got to a point where I would get my drinks without ice. Now that I'm a TRUE TITAN OF NETRUNNER this habit has returned. I can't help but chew on ice when I see it. I just straight pick up cards and shove them in my huge, gaping maw of a mouth. Teeth gnashing at the plastic of the sleeves and the cardboard of the cards like a ravenous wolf, or perhaps a jaguar. Yeah let's go with a jaguar. Jaguars are sleek and sexy. Wait, no, not sexy. Cats aren't sexy. That's weird as hell. Let's go with wolves. Wolves are smart and powerful and sexy. Fuck scratch that. Let's go with a train. Trains are fast and powerful and knock down everything in front of them and are also sexy. Please wake up. Anyway what I'm trying to say is I really enjoy breaking ice with my teeth, so I need to use eater so I can break ice. Also wyrms because wyrms are cool, like stupid dragons or something.

Wyrm + Prey... do these interact? I think the ICE gains its strength back at the end of the encounter and then is considered passed. If not, that's a pretty sweet combo (expensive though).

DDoS + Prey is another one... does ICE have strength when its unrezzed? If it does, I don't think you have enough junk installed to lose to Prey for most ICE (you are really depending on reducing the strength to 0).

Eater + Prey is dandy.

Ice Carver might be a nice singleton.

The ice gets its str back. You need scrubbed and bishop to keep it down, unless I'm missing one (no ice carver doesn't work)

@FarCryFromHuman DDoS + Prey does not work because while an Ice is facedown it does not have a strength so Prey cannot eat it.

@x3r0h0ur @phlip45 This is pretty much what I expected. I had a thought though: Prey is worth considering in builds running Security Nexus, and combos quite nicely as you get to pick which ICE to use both abilities on.

@FarCryFromHuman @x3r0h0ur @phlip45 Oh if the ice regains it's strength before Prey triggers than it's not even worth using prey. If that's the case Datasucker wouldn't work either. DDOS wasn't meant to work with prey, unrezzed ice can't have strength after all. The idea was just to take ice to 0 strength so it would be 0 programs trashed to prey to trash the ice.

Yeah it's lame but Prey seems designed to only work with breakers or bypass mechanics. It would have been nice if it had synergy with strength reduction as well, which as a mechanic could really use a boost.
