Rebel Aces makes Tycho super A wing

By KILODEN, in X-Wing

Tycho + PTL + chardaan refit + A-wing test pilot + daredevil

if you already thought of this, please let me know how he ran.

if you haven't, think about this............

most maneuverable ship in the game?

Sounds point heavy even with the refit. You are talking about a 30 point ship.

Don't forget Experimental Interface!

I plan to fly him with the following:

Keyan + PTL + hv laser + advanced sensors + B-wing/E2 + Nien Nunb

and

Biggs + R4-D6

100 points

Biggs and Keyan fly in formation and Tycho flanks

daredevil seems a little OTT on an a-wing in my opinion. I mean for 3 points there are so many better choices eg predator, outmaneuver, expert handling etc

I flew that build last night, it worked out pretty well. Was able to completely outmaneuver 2 other ships to close the game.

I think this would be entirely viable. 70 points is easy enough to fit 3 more ships to fill in the firepower. You can run a green as well with a couple of x-wings.

I'm planning on flying something very similar next time I play: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/117858/dodge-weave

Looks like a lot of fun to me.

I use Tychopath Celchu in this build:

Tycho Celchu

Push the Limit

A-wing Test Pilot

Chardaan Refit

Experimental Interface

Expert Handling

Keyan Farlander

Opportunist

Advanced Sensors

Ibtisam

Veteran Instincts

Advanced Sensors

Iby strips tokens for Keyan to use opportunist, while Tycho flanks.

All these beautiful Tycho builds make me want to cry. My favorite pilot (well, maybe .005 points below Wedge) getting some love!

if you already thought of this, please let me know how he ran.

Nightmare to catch. Remember that you must Daredevil first though because of the wording of PTL. When Experimental Interface comes out different story (and then he gets three actions!)

daredevil seems a little OTT on an a-wing in my opinion. I mean for 3 points there are so many better choices eg predator, outmaneuver, expert handling etc

Stressless Daredevil, remember. Makes up for his lack of K-turnability, easily on par with Expert Handling.

I like Expert Handling better than Daredevil, personally.

Unfortunately, for all this he's still just an A-wing :( Crazy maneuver, but still only two guns.

He's 2 pts above Wedge for me. An Alderaanian, but not a pacifist. A philosopher but a warrior. Pretty boss combo going on there.

I ran:

Tycho

-refit

-test pilot

-experimental interface

-Dare Devil

-Expert Handeling

Was able to do some crazy things, that match. Crazy things.

Yep, this was the list I came up with - just waiting on the Outrider for Experimental Interface

3 actions for Tycho is insane, and he just doesn't care about the pile of stress he'll be trailing along outside his tailpipe..

Usually Wedge is my favorite - he has more book time, so I feel like I know him better.

And sometimes, I read the "Tycho pwns Corran so hard" section of "I, Jedi," and Tycho goes up to favorite. :)

I still prefer just PTL and Outmaneuver. More damage. Maybe add a Rocket to his Pocket.

Well, Experimental Interface means that you must perform an action to activate it and it can only activate Daredevil. So Daredevil must come 2nd (or later). Push the Limit only allows actions off of the bar, so it cannot activate Daredevil last. But you can pick any action you wish followed by Daredevil, then follow up with any other action you wish. Since you only have Boost and Daredevil for repositioning and you can choose to do Boost either before or after Daredevil, you can effectively perform any two actions you wish or Daredevil plus any two other actions in whatever order you wish.

It's still an awful, awful lot of points for a single 2 Red gun, but it's a riot to fly.

Meh, I have a ton fun with Vader, who is even more expensive. I look forward to the old U-turn.
