Best EPTs with new cards?

By Shrapnelbait, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Which two of these four would work best for Tycho?

Wired (1)

Juke (2)

Daredevil (3)

Push The Limit (3)

The new cards add some interesting choices for him.

Push to Limit all the life.

Out of the four Talents you listed I would say Wired and Push The Limit work best together.

A couple more I think you should consider though are Outmaneuver, which functions similarly to Juke without you spending a token but requires you to stay out of arc (something you want to do anyways) and Expert Handling which works like Daredevil with the same cost of a stress but the added benefit of throwing an enemy target lock :ph34r:

Another consideration would be to switch the modification for Experimental Interface instead of Stealth or AutoThrust. The agility loss is minimal as long as you stay out of arcs, which is slightly easier when you have triple actions. Just remember one of those is from one of the other upgrades like Daredevil or Expert Handling. I've always fancied Tycho with Push The Limit, Expert Handling, and (the surprise!) Experimental Interface. Triple actions is just silly though :P

How competitive are you feeling with this? Jake with Veteran Instincts and Push The Limit can get the same three actions, at PS9, for slightly cheaper than my favorite Tycho though.

Not that competitive, just banging it around in my head. The combination of a stress giving EPT and a stress rewarding EPT seemed interesting.

PtL and Expert Handling for the win. Move, roll away, then boost, focus, evade, target lock.

While I've not flow him, I've flown against a PtL, Wired Tycho a couple of times and he's *really* difficult to kill. Daredevil on Tycho is also pretty great as a ship that can do some pretty unique moves.

PTL and crackshot/juke

it doesn't matter how cool or flighty Tycho is if he can't kill ****
