Bypass the resistance roll entirely with innate attack + symptom, potentially with no die roll required, no active defense permitted and ignores damage reduction. And maybe with a rules exemption enhancement if you want an effect symptom doesn't normally permit. Crushing Attack 1 (Partial Dice (Per Level; +6), *1.8) [9] is a good starting point for a reliable delivery medium that is reasonably competitive with Affliction 1.
