Bottom line, if the runner has 6 credits (and the ice hasn't been altered in some way with additional shenanigans) they're getting past this. With 0 Strength, any Fracter icebreaker can interface, but with 6 subroutines it's cheaper to just let them fire than to pay to break, in many cases.

Using the core set as a baseline, one fracter let you pay 2 credits to break 1 subroutine (so just paying 6 is cheaper than 12), another let you pay 1 credit per, so you're tied for 6.

Morning Star let you pay 1 to break any number of barrier routines, but it cost 8 and 2 MU to install, so.

Each icebreaker has a strength value and the ability to INTERFACE with one or more types of ice. In the case of Paperclip, it's a Fracter, which interfaces with BARRIERS (which is why I picked Ice Wall as an example). Paperclip has a base strength of 1, and one "break" ability.

ur a fracter :)

1 on 1. The runner has to have the correct breaker type for your ice type (fracter for barrier, killer for sentry, decoder for code gate) and then pay credits to boost to 3 strength and break your ice subroutines.

Today's random #Netrunner card of the day is our first Icebreaker, and one that I have particular feelings about as well! Since we have only abstractly talked about ice and icebreaking, context to follow in the thread. Bonus points if you guess why I like it.

How do we feel about top secret ops?

R9: won as runner vs Issuaq. Was a bit spooky when Boto became protected by another ice and I had no fracter, but dug like mad, slammed it down, and basically had a super efficient engine that let me lock R&D and win eventually.

the little 'strength screen' in the bottom right-- i'm particularly proud of using a little 'breakout' game bit for fracter

but i've made ones for killer and code gate too, they're just much closer to the original

still got a ways to go but can't believe how well this is going

I played Fracter the other day and enjoyed it. Been playing Teslagrad Remastered yesterday and today. It uses magnetism as a gimmick and it's fun but also the boss fights and some of the puzzles are a mix of 🤯😡😤😭 haha
