Just go ahead and change Fast walkers name to Superwalkers

wms · August 2021

These walkers have been made into SuperWalkers. Have been shaking my head at their abilities for a few weeks now. They can walk thru stun rows, cross the entire map, and now, I had one reached between two bruisers and reach into that corner to put Rick into a struggle. Scenario is Rick is in a corner and a Eugene and RGGlenn protecting in the two spaces in front of Rick. Now I just think NG is cheating. lols

Fast walkers walk-through 2-thick stun wall since their movement is 3 spaces instead of 2.
Then they will attacks your survivors according to the walkers priority map, based on the space walker has landed: top, down, left, right, diagonals (Leader first priority, then 2nd and 3rd survivor).

Let's say that Rick is in space 13 and Glenn and Eugene are in space 11 and 12. A fast one approaches into space 8, then grabs Rick into a struggle. Eugene is lead and I think Glenn is second but I might have had Rick as second. So am I misreading by expectations of moves? I often use 2 bruisers to protect offensive survivor and have never had one reach between the bruisers the way this fast one performed.

Me and my Guild always refer to them as, "Tennis Shoe Walkers."

Maybe Rick was on Overwatch and fast waker grabbed him with Retaliate?

Better example would be:
Fast walker finished his turn at position "X", Eugene and RGG are at the positions 1, and SRick at position 2. If team is in this order - Eugene lead + RGG 2nd + SRick 3rd, hit priority would be: Eugene, RGG, SRick. Even if SRick was the leader, Eugene and RGG would still be the first priority.
As mentioned above, you probably left SRick on overwatch and Fast walker retaliated.
Fast Walkers always retaliate when hit, unless they are stunned, killed or hit from 1 or more spaces away. Even if you attack them with ranged survivors but they are right next to you, they will retaliate.
Still better than dodging every other turn like it used to be 😬

Never trust a fast walker

Every decision made, 2nd guess it. Cause the logical isn’t so logical.

IMO they are the hardest opponent in the game.

Not Spikers!

Fast Walkers are brutal. If you miscalculate even a little you are toast. Drive-by Darryl can easily get pulled into struggle. Attack during overwatch? Struggle.

They are so sneaky. They go down a lot easier than all the other special walkers, but if you lose track of them for a second, struggle.

The expert players in this game have PhDs in technique. Compared to my playing, I'm a high school dropout. Rick was in Overwatch. Never crossed my mind that retaliate could bypass the rules of logic and once again make the fast walker have superman qualities. I didn't think about fast walkers as being hard at lower levels as I would just kill right off the bat. Now they are nightmare quality. Who ever developed fast walkers traits have to have very vindictive personality traits. Blast them!!!!
