Ikari can now take Kendrat and is one of two forces that can have her Duo with another Krakot. I'm not sure if the duo is good or bad yet. I need to play it to judge it. What is everyones thoughts?

One nice thing to add, she's a character and can do missions that need a veteran troop. That can be very useful.
What I like is the fact that it's another alien mercenary adding more diversity to an army which is basically space corsairs. Something I find very characterful and quite fitting in the space opera Infinity has evolved into.
I agree. I'd love a merc force made up of many different alien races. I thought Sprial might be that but sadly it's mostly tohaa. I at least use the Taagma sniper as a Brawler sniper now. vanilla combined comes close but it doesn't make a for a good force.
I don't have a list for her yet, but I really like the idea of Kendrat in a duo in ikari. The optional nature of duo being breakable if there's ever a time you want to take impetuous orders, in a sort of have-our-cake-and-eat-it-too way really appeals to me.
Something like this, maybe: Ikari Company ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 3 TANKŌ Missile Launcher / Pistol, Monofilament CC Weapon, Shock CC Weapon.

I think she's auto include. Ikari can really struggle with those classified objectives that require veteran troops (there just aren't enough characters, and the ones we have are generally motorbiking full tilt at the enemy). I dunno if the duo is worth it, but I can see value in running the duo so that you can gain cover in the first reactive turn, then drop it in your first active turn. She is a bit of a beast with all the smoke Ikari can bring. I like your list @RobertShepherd but I would probably swap two Yuan Yuan for a Desperado. I think there's only so much value Yuan Yuan can bring and if you're just walking them on the back as smoke cover for the Rui Shi, then the Desperado can do that, plus its generally a better active piece as it can threaten a template or an accurate Assault Pistol volley against dodging targets.
Hey guys, sorry to chime in with nothing off any interest, but as I won't be getting the defiance kickstarter, I was wondering whether you could recommend an alternative model for Kendrat, the obvious would be an Oznat.. right?
Thanks bud, got her on he painting table now! Anyone had any success/practice with a kendrat included list?
