Raging Tycho?

By Tailsgod, in X-Wing

I can't see this being all the rage...

Sorry :P

Anyway - too expensive for 2 attack dice which are often useless in the current meta. Needs prockets at the very least.

I don't know, tycho really likes Daredevil.

Common misconception that an A-wing is 'just' 2 red dice.

Most commonly (with Jake and Tycho), it's a range 1, 3 dice shot with focus and re-rolls.
Better than a similar costed, less nimble ship like an X-wing taking a range 2 shot with a focus.
And much more fun to fly.

Let's face it
A-wings could very well be the most fun ship to fly in the game

I do love my A-Wings.

Tycho Celchu (26)

Rage (1)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Push the Limit (3)
Experimental Interface (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Total: 31
Tycho gets three actions a turn, along with the ability to reroll his attack dice every turn

Not sure if its the best combo
still prefer expert handling super Tycho (especially with long range sensors coming out)

But it could be alright

This is my favorite (future) Tycho (+/- Prockets). Boost, Evade, Focus, and (effectively) Target Lock every. single. turn. Not to mention +4 Stress every. single. turn! :P

Which won't matter at all because you'll get TLT'd to death while looking dreamily at those Autothrusters you should have brought instead of the Interface. :P

Bring some proton rockets. Whatever has those TLTs won't last too long.

Rage + Expert Handling + EI = 30 pts

No thrusters, but annoying and cool.

Why put expert handling on tycho? To make him an expensive jake?

Where did you dig up this old fossil?

So I can run him and Jake... it also drops TLs. That and Jake can't run Rage and Expert Handling.

26 FEB 2016 would probably put it around pg 15... or 'out past the Jundland wastes' -or- within the 'unknown regions'...take your pick.

Rage is a card you use rarely on anything but Tycho. Tycho with Wired, Rage and Autothrusters at 28 isn't bad, but I'd swap out the Autothrusters for Experimental Interface to trigger Rage for effectively free.

I think the other place to use Rage is Keyan Farlander, with a HLC. Shoot, with 4 dice you are going to have an Eye, reroll the blanks, save the focus for getting shot at.

Is it legal to shoot, Remove stress to Change Eye’s to Hits, Use Rage to reroll blanks, Use remaining Stress to change eye’s to Hits?

Would something like this work well as a super hornet in a B-wing list, or would 2 prototype A-wings be better in this scenario?

a little different approach than the OP suggested but I've also been thinking about exchanging my 2-Prototype A-wings for an A-wing that packs more of a punch and this built fits it really well imo.

When it comes to necromancy this is somewhere it works fine or have the rule interactions between Rage and Tycho changed in the last 3-4 months?

Wait someone found this topic? I thought it died a while ago....

Well I still love me some raging tycho
