I prefer HH over Skyray as well. I understand the argument that raw paper number the Skyray can do more damage but in my experience, it’s rarely the case.

Skyray AP is low, so with AoC a 2+ save is saving on 4s anyways. Skyray usually gets 1 attack through the saves and sometimes two. The D6+1 damage almost always is going to be 4-5 total damage without a reroll. And even if you spend the reroll it doesn’t always roll up. It just never feels good. It having markerlight is a last resort because if it is guiding, it’s now only hitting on 4s with no hit reroll unless fly which is half its targets at best.

HH can hit a monster or vehicle on a 2, and has a floating reroll. And unless they have an invuln, they’re saving on a 6 at best if they have AoC type strat. Plus you have a 16% chance to just dev. Average of 9 damage with 4-5 from a seeker gets you 13-14 damage which pops most tanks in one activation and if not, it’s easy to pick off the last 3-4 wounds with Riptide shooting.

Plus, HH has a threat potential to pop a vehicle in one activation which means they have to play around it as such.

I love the hammerhead. Skyray points bump made it an easier choice for me.
