I'm interested to see what this set of odd cloud breakers looks like when complete, but the 0 base unpumpable strength just seems like a dead on arrival problem to me.
The first one you use would be at that strength, but the strength of each subsequent one used during a run would cascade down. We'd call that a cascading failure in my line of work, and it's a bad thing. Also, that's terrible tempo, both to build up in the first place and to recur. If they were in-faction Shaper or Anarch it might be doable as both factions get mechanisms to recur programs, but are you really going to import a full recursion suite into criminal just to keep these brittle breakers online?
Personally, no. I think they work better as includes over a more durable breaker suite as late game efficiency tricks to score a clutch agenda, and even then I'd rather stimhack or similar.
I mean, we'll see and I'm open to being pleasantly surprised of course. But I remain unconvinced with what we know today.
