Research evidence

Original researched interpretation; balance requires playtesting. Generic portraits are not canonical likenesses. Ability packages do not automatically grant SPAs or SCAs.

Documented · high confidence: Jaguar forces valued uncompromising attack, but prepared defenses, ambushes and expendable shortages could undermine that aggression. Sources: era3052, invading

Inference · medium confidence: Original Shock Assault archetype: the precise priority ordering, five states, thresholds, initiative/token orders and support timing are authored interpretations, not published Clan rules. Quickly brings strong attackers into play and spends available support to keep the attack moving. Sources: era3052, invading

Inference · medium confidence: Thematic limitation: Direct pressure spends support quickly and can be baited into prepared defenses; recovery only begins after an unfavorable loss exchange. Sources: era3052, invading

Inference · medium confidence: Rules lens: Overrun Combat and Berserkers as inspiration; no early attacks, extra attacks or automatic ability grants. The existing Aces token/initiative precedents are used directly as card orders; no SPA or SCA is assigned. Sources: aces, scan0, scan1, hotspots-local
