Oh, I thought it did kill ICE. This fact makes me a much happier corp!
Starport Kaguya:
Wow! I am digging this card.
Word. Seems legit. Also: not unique! MOVE EVERYTHING TO THE MOONBASE :).
Itâs too bad I canât dump these on HQ for siphon defense
???
Yes you can, thats like, the main point of the card.
Ha, guess thats what I get for replying on pain meds. For some reason I thought regions werenât allowed to be installed on a central server, itâs assets Iâm thinking ofâŚ

Haas- Biorioid (5 influence) #30
(Unique) ICE: Barrier - Bioroid
â End the Run unless the runner spends 2 clicks.
â End the Run unless the runner pays 3 credits.
â End the Run unless the runner trashes 1 program.
â End the Run unless the runner takes 1 brain damage.
Iâm not entirely convinced by this new Bioroid.
It might seem very strong, but it really doesnât take that much to pass through (if the translation is correct): 2 Clicks, 3 credits, 1 program (which the Runner can choose), 1 brain damage.
If you often use Public Sympathy like me, 1 BD is negligible, and with all the new&old Shaper stuff, recycling programs is easier than ever. Clone Chip / Test Run / Scavenge / Deja Vu / Levy AR Lab Access⌠plenty of options to recover any essential program you might lose.
Still, itâs quite expensive to pass with Icebreakers.
Still, the new Bioroid looks decent enough in any HB deck utilizing Bioroid Efficiency. You canât just click through it like other Bioroids, and most people have cut E3, so it could find a place as long as you arenât rezzing it for 14.
E3 do not work on this anyway. Without a breaker subs will trigger, even if they wonât stop you. E3 requirement to break a sub is not satisfied.
Ah right. Forfeiting the 2 clicks isnât a âbreak,â itâs a Subroutine.
Even better.
Think about Odin on a central server. Breaking a 10 strength barrier is almost as painful as getting hit with the subs, either way getting through is costly, probably worse than getting hit by Janus, and isnât weak to E3 or running click 1, but at 14 credits, seems too expensive to be competitive. Bioroid efficiency is good with this, but emergency shutdown is also really good against it.
That doesnât seem like much to you?
Corroder would cost 12 to break this.
Eating all the subroutines costs⌠(assuming click = 1.5cred which seems reasonable nowadays)
2 clicks = 3 cred
3 cred = 3 cred
1 program = card, install, cost (3-5+ cred?)
1 brain damage = 1.5 cred
Total: 11.5 on the low end if you trash a 0 cost program
Not to mention the risk of losing an important card from the brain damage or being set back in the game by losing an important program
Nooooo. Starport Kaguya is supposedly a fake. Boo.
Also, starport kaguya seems really good. Blanks Account Siphon until the runner can trash it, also nukes indexing and makerâs eye, and to a lesser extent, stimhack and inside job. All around awesome card, and it looks like its in the next data pack?
What the hell, people are saying its not real?
Well your assumption of a click = 1.5 credits is just that, an assumption.
If I need to pass on that server, I wonât question how much itâs gonna cost, only if I can make it.
And if Iâm low on money, the only real credit cost for Odin is 3 credits.
I was referring to that, when I said it doesnât convince me. It hardly stops a Runner that needs to pass.
Besides, itâs the Runner that will choose which program heâs gonna trash, so he could always have something that wonât damage him badly. And the single Brain Damage might very well be worth taking.
Iâm not saying itâs a bad card. For one thing, being a Bioroid and not having the option to break subroutines with Clicks makes it awesome with Stronger Together and Bioroid Efficiency Research. And itâs still 12 credits to break with Corroder, so the Runner wonât be passing through it every single turn anyway.
Right, I wouldnât rely on it to protect an agenda but it would be pretty damn good on R&D, especially if you rez it with efficiency or oversight
Iâm assuming itâs AP with the brain damage. If so, it fits neatly with Deus X, so be careful with using oversight or whatnot. Emergency Shutdown loves this card.
On second thought⌠it might not have AP with the Ice: Barrier - Bioroid tags it would need. Doesnât look like AP is listed there. Huh⌠Maybe Deus doesnât hit it then.
