Now we have some interesting things with the Dikpala repeater. Its' still only a haris but handy. You now don't need to have a different repeater or the EVO near to be able to put Marksmanship on them. You can also have Adil in the the team. This gives him hacker protection.
Not yet. He's one that every time I put him in a list, I end up taking him out. He adds orders with stratego but then if i take him out I can add the same number of troops for orders. If I use him i'm going to try using the Thunderbolt in vanilla combined with an mech engineer putting out deployable cover.
He does offer flexibility as he can move himself into the group that needs the extra orders. That's what draws me in.
He can move any troop. Not just himself. It's nice but I'm still not sure it's worth the price. I might do a "take him no matter" what list. Sort of like last year I did a "must always have a TAG". Right now I'm making myself take a flyer.
Actually, I think he's pretty good right now. If you only look at his Lieutenant skills, he might not seem worth the points. But once you factor in his survivability, he becomes well worth the cost. That's because he saves you the points and slot of a CoC unit. On top of that, Sun Tze is currently unmatched in the game when it comes to maximizing order generation—he is the only unit with Strategos L2 + 2 Orders.
But are the extra 2 orders and strategos 2 worth 53 points? He doesn't bring anything else for his points - not a specialist, can't go in a fireteam, only BS 12 with a short range weapon and no vis mods. Yes, he is resilient, but I struggle to fit him in. I feel like maybe he'd be more useful in vanilla YJ.
