Psycho Tycho: Star Wars X-Wing Build

By Barclay Montgomery | April 17th, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Tycho Celchu is one A-Wing pilot that pushes his skills to the limit time and time again. This build will have your head spinning with the amount of stress it produces!

Tycho Celchu is a Rebel A-Wing aces that has a very interesting ability for Star Wars X-Wing. His ability essentially allows you to perform actions even while you are stressed. Most ships will not be able to do this or will be completely shut down action-wise with stress tokens. But this guy loves the stress! 

Let’s start off by making Tycho an A-Wing Test Pilot. This will allow Tycho to equip an additional elite upgrade, which will make him even more capable of performing amazing action abilities with his stress-inducing pilot ability. One such is a favorite amongst X-Wing ace ships. 

Push the Limit is a favorite on ships that love to get the most of their action bar. Once per round after performing an action, you may perform 1 free action on your action bar at the cost of 1 stress token. This is of no concern to Tycho however, as he is able to perform actions even whilst stressed.

To get further mileage out of his action, Tycho may want to equip Intensity as an elite upgrade. After you perform a boost or barrel roll, you may assign 1 focus or evade token to your ship. You then have to flip over Intensity to its exhausted side. This can allow Tycho to perform a boost, grab a focus, and then use Push the Limit to get an evade token. That’s some crazy action chaining right there!

To make the most out of that focus token, Proton Rockets is a great missile option for Tycho. This munition can make it so that Tycho can fire 5 attack dice at an opponent at range 1, and all you need is a focus. This can help modify his dice or can be saved to refresh Intensity, but it will depend on your dice rolls. Get this Psycho Tycho onto the tabletop and try him out yourself!
