That is true, they're useful on a Kanren in the active turn to gap close on something harder to stick it with the mono knife. You know I'd probably like them more if they were on more profiles for YJ where they had more synergy and didn't feel like an afterthought (or if they weren't attached to lukewarm garbage like Zhanying and Pheasants). I don't see why there's such a hard restriction on them linking when they're allowing Xi to wildcard with them. Tian Gou might not even feel like trash if I could wildcard Perimeter weapons into my links.
Yeah, Tian Gou suffers hard from the jammer's quad nerf*. On the subject of Zhanying and Tian Gou, it's really odd how the combo of BS 12+ and ARM 2 makes a unit's price shoot through the roof - it's not just them, the load outs that are worth their points on these units are more exceptions than common. That is, of course, even after Zhanying dropped significantly in price from N3. * Removed fireteam bonuses, removed sixth sense delay, introduced Firewall protection, introduced disposable (2)
These units are often paying for a bit of extra crud it's not just the ARM and BS12. Zhanying have bioimmunity, CC dump stat+weapons, BTS and , sixth sense and other crap that really just doesn't need to be there. Tian Gao is still paying for a bit of CC, 360 visor, PH10 Grenades etc.
