Sound Wave also counts as a damage type, but isn’t listed on the table above. Sound Wave is effective against armor, but ineffective against flesh and zedtechs, which means it might just be suitable for breaking down armor on Fleshpounds and Scrakes.

These Zeds can take a while to get used to, but it is going to be a fun journey progressing as a team of six every time you run a game.
