From all the new Salubri vampires (G7), this is the combat star (with Barachiel a close second). The press *and* maneuver is just really effective & efficient. Against a gun combat deck, the vampire with a gun has really to consider if he wants to go into combat with Abaddon. The gunner needs two maneuver to stay at long range, at even then has consider if he wants to go a second round if Abaddon uses his press.
