Editing Jack Slash (section)

===Tactics===
When the [[Nine]] are on the move or dormant, Jack keeps his head down and his team will use their powers to help the group stay evasive: this increases the difficulty of tracking them via conventional/mundane methods. Individuals such as [[Cherish]], [[Screamer]], [[Gray Boy]], [[Siberian]], and [[Bonesaw]] can also complicate attempts to use a standard sniper rifle or drone strike against him. However, the cultural status quo for tracking threats such as the Nine is to rely on [[parahuman]]s. Bringing parahuman powers into play is very tempting, but unknowingly hurts more than it helps as [[Jack_Slash#Shard|his shard]] will frustrate harmful attempts to catch a hiding Jack with capes.<ref name="reddit eTrack">And before you say 'thinkers', remember that Jack counters any powers and has frustrated all attempts to take your approach in the past with capes, benefiting from the dynamic of capes handling capes and civilians handling civilians. When he's dormant or moving from place to place, he keeps his head down, leaning on various powers amongst his team that confuse things or give him an edge. He enters the story with Cherish, but before that he has people like Screamer, Grey Boy, Siberian, and Bonesaw, who complicate attempts to pull anything with your standard sniper rifle or drone strike.<br><br>The fundamental issue with the S9 is they're going to be hiding and you're relying on conventional and mundane means to track them, while they're using augmented means to stay evasive. If you bring powers into play at all (and this is both really tempting to do and culturally the status quo) then Jack starts getting really good instincts from Broadcast, and you unwittingly hurt more than you help.<br><br>Once a confrontation begins, or they step out into the open, things quickly get chaotic. We've ''seen'' the attempts at using airborne artillery (Legend) and bombing runs. They do pretty darn well in that environment. - Wildbow [https://redd.it/jbbu1f on Reddit]</ref>

Jack tends to surround himself with team members, which as a consequence makes it next to impossible for civilians to get to him (and thus [[Jack Slash#Vulnerabilities|secretly interfere]]).<ref name="II12.x e1" /><ref name="R1" /> He greatly benefits from [[Earth Bet]]'s paradigm of [[parahuman|capes]] handling capes and civilians handling civilians:<ref name="reddit eTrack" /> no one seriously tried sending a competent non-parahuman against him until the [[Slaughterhouse Fight in Los Angeles]].<ref name="27.2 eSurround" /><ref name="reddit eJackFall" />
