Tycho and Daredevil

By KILODEN, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can Tycho perform Daredevil while stressed?

I think he can since its an action, but it is also a maneuver so I am not sure.

any help is appreciated.

thanks

also, lets add to this. PTL plus Daredevil. boosting and Daredevil. that's why I am asking

Can Tycho perform Daredevil while stressed?

Yes he can. Stress does not stop a white maneuver.

PTL plus Daredevil. boosting and Daredevil. that's why I am asking

That works just fine.

Edit: You'll have to daredevil first and boost second. Tycho with daredevil loves experimental interface.

daredevil is a red maneuver not white

that's why im confused

daredevil is a red maneuver not white

No. It's white. See the errata in the current FAQ.

ahhhhhh

sweet!!!!

Hang on, does that also mean I could pack tycho with A-wing test pilot, Push the limit, experimental interface, marksmanship, and proton rockets. Fo actions take target lock, PTL for focus, and EI for Marksmanship.

Then attack with Proton rockets ( six dice), use TL for re-roll on any blanks, and use Marksmanship to change eyeballs to booms plus one kaboom. Any kind of luck rolling and you are dishing out 5-6 booms & kabooms

Point that at a decimator and watch your opponent's jaw drop.

6 dice? Don't prockets top out at 5?

Oh, and yes, that all looks legit. How expensive will that be for a single really good attack then?

right, 5 dice.

thing is, everything is still useful once rockets are fired

Except the attack drops down to 2 dice, 3 at Range 1 - but yes.

I love using Tycho, PtL, and Daredevil. It's an absolute blast to fly, and causes all kinds of drama. He won't get the drop on VI Whisper, but he'll be sitting outside of any other Phatom's arc plinking away.

Sometimes, I'll use him as a decoy on setup, placing him out as a flanker, but then just 5-green+DD+boost my way back to everyone else, leaving anyone that took the bait to try and get back to their buddies. There aren't that many ships that can catch Tycho on crack.

Rebel Captive? He loves shooting at his friends. Mara Jade is powerless against him. He's not too fond of Eaden Vrill, but even then, it's not that bad.

All-in-all, Tycho's one of my favorite psycho pilots.

oh crap!! So Daredevil gives an additional boost?? On top of the standard boost action?

Witchcraft at work here:

Daredevil just lets you perform that hard 1 turn and then gives you Stress for your trouble. Any mention of DD to Boost is being done by utilizing PtL with Boost as the second action.

Now to make things REALLY interesting you add Experimental Interface to Tycho so any action he takes can be used to trigger an Action on an upgrade card (DD here) in addition to an action on the ship's action bar via PtL. Tycho + PtL + DD + EI + something in the missile slot is extremely maneuverable and will likely be getting three actions each turn.
