Been a while since we discussed TAGs. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Guijia since the changes to Super Jump? He's now become fairly fast. Jump 8" then 4" move is nice with vault any terrain the same size or smaller. Yes I know it's not as good as the Seraph but then it's PanO and they are favorite child. So it's not worth comparing or complaining about.
I find superjump with Guijia's armour is very good for last turn zone controls, especially if it still have wounds left. With its big silhouette it's also easy to get height on your opponent. The trade off is you don't get partial cover bonus the turn superjump is used. Edit: for me, my favorite YJ TAG right now is the Longwang. It has always been a pain in my opponent's backside every time I bring it.
I’ve been using the LW mostly with just my IS. But I have this cool looking Guijia that I painted, and I think I’ve only used twice! The new super jump rule now gives it an 8-4 move. Only the Seraph is faster with 9-4. This allows it to get LoF efficiently. And in vYJ it can duo with a lot of great options. I think the a good cheap one is the TacAware and Tinbot Zuyong. The Zuyong can start off with it’s own TA to move the Guijia and from then the Guijia gets his own, and then regular orders.
For the past year I've been taking all 3 TAGs in 400 pt vYJ lists. LW NCO with 2 Daoying Lt orders has by far outperformed the other two. Blue Wolf performed fairly well when I maneuvered him into spitfire range (sometimes duo with Huang disco ball). I haven't successfully berserk both of them into melee though. Guijia is tanky and fast, and great against other TAGs, but the lack of visual mods makes it hard for him to beat dedicated aro pieces (esp in Next Wave).
