Tetran Cowell

By Lord Ashram, in X-Wing

Hey all!

Just wanted to check in... I got a game in with Tetran recently (against him, actually) and absolutely loved his variable k-turn, especially in a game against primarily lower PS pilots... anyone else have any experience with him?

I played a game against him and was not impress. His PS7 was more threatening than his ability.

His ability is very good but highly situational. You might use it a lot in a game and not at all in another. So for the points, I prefer to pay a little more or less and use a pilot that I know I will use his ability, like Turr, Lorrir, Jax or Fel.

Once predator or outmaneuver is out, I'll give him a chance.

I use him with Veteran Instincs to replace Turr; same points cost and it works much better in the framework of my list (4 T/I @ 100; + 2 T/B @ 150; + Shuttle @ 200) ... on PS9 his ability is worth much more because most enemies will have moved and you can better see if you have to shorten or lengthen your turn for maximum effect; other than that he's just the cheaper PS7 T/I

He is just a cheaper interceptor with a situational ability. His ability won't always be relevant but when it is it can change the tide of battle pretty quickly since he's PS 7. He paid nothing for his ability and has an EPT. He's brings nothing super amazing to the game, he's just very efficient.

I used him in a game with Fel and Yorr. Tetran with PtL and Yorr around let me K-Turn pass the stress then do 2 actions and pass the stress. Them 2 together are nice. I let Fel do his thing which is just being awesome.

I do think that after using him most Imperial list have developed a fever....and the only cure is more Cowell!

Someday I shall use him and gain an opinion. His point cost just hasn't found the sweet spot for the lists I'm running. The RGP + PTL at 25pts and Turr + VI at 26pts fits nicer than Cowell + PTL at 27pts. Maybe another EPT will work...

Tetran with PtL and his lil buddy Yorr hanging back is very nice......1 K-Turn...pass the stress...now do 2 actions...pass the stress. I found that combo to be what made him nasty for me.

Yeah, he's great with Yorr. Especially if you just jousted another ship. K-turn 1 then focus. They either have to fly casual because they forgot you can do that, k-turn to face you (and still be at range 1-2 but with no actions), or flee straight and fast for the +1 evade but get no shot. This was how Luke died in the second round of combat in the last Open match i played (running like a scared womp rat).

He had Veteran Instincts, so he moved after Luke. The "………oh." expression my friend made was priceless.

I want to like him. I really do. So far though, he has just seemed underwhelming. To be fair, I will agree that his ability is definitely situational, so its possible I just haven't found the right situation. Pairing him with Yorr though is definitely a great idea. Unfortunately, I do not yet have the albino void walrus. :(

I imagine a wingman bsp or 2 will do wonders. Rock ptl and a targeting comp and go to town

And you have a cheaper (but not as good) Yorr variant now with Wingman EPT coming.
