5x Tansarii Point Veterans, light scyk title, attanni mindlink

anyone flown this yet?

It seems to be a more defensive Black Squad Crackshot swarm with Howlrunner that can't hit anywhere near as hard and can only K-Turn a single ship in a round. It seems like it will have serious problems getting damage to stick.

WWHSD is right. Even changing mindlinks to cracks IMO won't be enough.

Maybe 3 of those and then oyu have 52 points to get a hard hitter or two.

2-die attacks without any means of making them stronger just don't cut it in the current meta, even 6 of them well-modded.

And as ever, Serissu presents the obvious problem of being the obvious first target because she's easier to kill than all the others.

Good points.

Maybe a miniswarm? Serrissu and three Tansarri Vets? Leaves 33 points for Fenn Rau.

The main problem with Scyk swarms is the lack of a force multiplier like Howlrunner or Youngster, and current pilots all have defensive abilities which don't help a swarm that needs to take stuff out quickly to mitigate the individual weakness of the ships. Until we see if they release some better pilot(s) with the CROC, I think it's a bit early to start building Light Scyk swarms.

If they don't release any better pilots, the best bet would be a spam swarm with 1 Tansarii Pt Vet + Crack Shot and 7 Cartel Spacers, all with the Light Scyk title, or 6x Light Tansarii + Crack Shot. I don't imagine that either will work well, and I'm not inclined to try it.

The only reason I can see to take a Light Scyk TPV is if you have 16 points free in a list with Mindlink and would rather have a Scyk than Kaa'to Leechos.

There isnt much reaspn to not crackswarm unless you love not doing damage

To me, light scyk is a one-of. It gets you a cheap scyk to provide some form of utility

Like a blocker or a seriussu on the cheap

Possibly also one of the pilots in the CROC could come with support or offense boosting abilities

Two things I'm hoping to see with the C-ROC expansion:

1. A Scyk pilot that does something cool when it does a green maneuver.

2. A Modification that gives people a reason to play a titleless Scyk instead of either a Heavy or Light version.

sadly don't think we will see a "medium/vanilla" scyk viable option

not that it's a terrible thing, though, as the Scyk expac still brings the heavy title

personally hoping for some form of guaranteed damage (ala oicuun, perhaps reverse oicuun that deals damage on block) or some form of support ability with a more generous range than seri's

You can do 6 light syck Veterans and all but one of them can equip Juke.
