FAQ-celebratory Scyk Squads

  • Serissu - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam, Stealth Device
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam, Stealth Device
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam, Stealth Device
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam, Stealth Device

Four ships which are....actually surprisingly tough, now.

Three hull and a shield, four green dice, a reroll of one dice on all but one ship, and a focus/evade on all but one ship.

Alternatively, Tractor Beams can become anything up to and including Mangler Cannons by trading out the stealth devices.

You could fit in a fifth mindlinked Scyk by stripping off a lot of the upgrades:

  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Heavy Scyk, Attani Mindlink, Tractor Beam
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Attani Mindlink
  • Tansarii Point Veteran - Attani Mindlink

But I'm not sure if that's a great idea?

I love Serissu, only problem is she becomes the magnet to every enemy ship in the game.

Also not sure if all those tractor beams are necessary

Other than that, seems solid on paper. Definetely gonna be fun to fly

Necessary? Definitely not. But probably fun.

I figure that at least one tractor beam will miss, so then you've got one tractor beam to hit, and two or more actual 'damage' shots.

If Serissu Focus/Evades, though, whilst the others Focus/Target Lock.....is shooting at her the best idea?

I was literally just theory crafting a list just like this not having heard of it being played before, definitely could be fun

You can always drop palob for mindlinked manaroo (28pts), so one scyk would get TL F F.

You forgot Intelligent Agent on Palob (:

Anyway, never play Serissu with Mindlink. Serissu works in swarm formation, mindlink doesn't. With AM you cannot do a Koiogram with more than 1 ship at the time; that's why the secret with AM is to play any ship alone from each other...thing that doesn't work well with Serissu ability.

A fair point. The 5-ship list is probably better, then.

3 mango mindlined scyks + biggs, I mean Serrissu you made (tractor, stealth device) might be ok, even with koiogran restriction. It still works for alpha strike, and then when they finally scatter, they will shoot whoever they can, spreading the damage. Just like with biggs.
