Omega Leader hates Lt. Kestal.

Snap Wexley with Intensity + Comm Relay + choose your mech

I was considering something similar myself.

Tycho's already psycho, why not make him intense too? Throw the Test Pilot title on him, take Intensity and PtL, and trigger PtL off of a boost. You can end up with 2 Focus, 2 Evade or one of each. Use 'em both or save one to flip Intensity back over. And keep laughing at the stress.

I need some @Joe Boss Red Seven to emote for me.

But now I have to buy four...

It has a 2 bank at least. That's pretty OP.

Eh, but using Rage instead of Intensity has similar action economy for less points and Rage's down side is laughed off by Tycho like you said.

Intensity seems really niche to me.

You'll get 1 use of it for sure, but 2+ means you aren't spending that focus token on your shot and aren't getting shot at. How effective are you if you aren't spending your tokens, or conversely, if you have so many extra tokens that you can continually flip it back over, do you need it in the first place?

What am I missing?

Tycho is only Psycho with Daredevil though. I suppose you could equip him with EI, DD, and intensity, but I didn't find DD working that well when I was required to do it after boost (often you want that hard one plus boost straight) when I tried Rage, EI, DD. I still think he's best with PTL DD and EI.

Anyone else notice the picture of the ship is in blue, and the 360 view is in gray?

Intensity is a dual card. Oops. I was thinking some Tomax-Intensity-UR.

Speaking of which, this makes UR way better.

"unique pilot ability that allows her to spend a focus token to cancel all of an opponent's blank and defense results."

" it's worth noting that Kestal's ability to cancel all of her opponent's blank and defense results works even.."

Really? Forgot the pilots ability whilst writing the article? Ha! Love it.

If it was blank and EVADE it really really really would get crazy.

I'm going to try to fly the Heck out of it but I don't think it's going to be great. Theoretically good pilot abilities. Dial really will make or break it.

Intensity shaves a point and can probably stand in for PTL in a lot places. Requires some jank but an extra evade, focus, or just an unused one is not unheard of.

Anyone else feel like they're going to get kicked in the balls by TLT Kestal?

Repeatedly.

Not me. I'm gonna play the crap outta him.

Generic Interceptor and A-Wing will appreciate intensity too !

Boost or Barrel Roll and gain Evade or Focus without stress ! Thank FFG !

Hopefully will bring Fenn Rau down a peg or two.

I think Kestal/TLT is Inquisitor level of efficiency, and you'll play him because he's solid and then his ability will really hurt certain ships. I'm interested in him with LW, I think, sitting at the back while the rest of my ships engage up front.

We need to see the dial, really.

What about those turns when your dice just work and you don't need to spend the tokens (barring Hotshot Co-Pilot, of course)?

Kestal like...is going to KILL aces.

That was what I was going to comment on, yeah.

So we've got a hard counter to autothrusters. Fantastic, what with all those autothrusters everywhere these days .

As if anyone might have taken a blow to their head severe enough to accidentally leave a TIE Interceptor in their list, still...

Intensity on Poe Dameron...ooooh yeah!

It's the reverse on my monitor. 360 looks blue and the statics look more grey, but not as light as the original TIEs.

I think fenn rau may not hate intensity in a non-mindlink list (blasphemy I know). Guri or Talonbane too could enjoy it.

Agree.

Xizor more than Guri anyway. She can provide to her Focus herself.

Protectorates....especially Fenn Rau.

They're defense against TLTs is almost exclusively focus into evade results and autothrusters if they aren't in range 1. So yeah...that's pretty big.
