The “easily” acquired 2-1 score swing is mostly achieved in the first turn of the first round. I agree this is a good swing, but most(if not all) characters have a devensive card that should be played at start of game, regardless of what they want to play with their first turn, and that can really make Tachyon’s day a bummer.

I disagree that it has to be the first turn or the first round at all. Why does that have to be the case? If my experience with Tachyon has taught me anything, its that 2for1 swing comes in the second round a majority of the time, which is why most tournament games never got into a 3rd round.With that said, the fact that Tachyon by herself nets you a 2for1, with 2 other teamates and turns to try and just get 1 incap between them, makes her incredibly good.

1.) Overall this is a dice game theres never a guarantee for a 2 to 1 swing with anyone

2.) The 2 for 1 swing idea is why I build against Tachyon with Hazards/ Tanks. With a Legacy with heroic interception and danger sense/ Truth on the team this hyper turn could turn out as nothing but 3 damage on Tachyon… maybe a death on Truth. … and I then just ignore until she decides to incap herself to try to hyper turn again/ we need to kill her. With a turret/champion on Unity you can discourage her to even get close… The same idea with a Hidden Blade Strike with Operative. With a Operative in dragons frenzy you could very easily ignore her damage with 5 defense die. A Bunker with 4 defense die could also reasonably withstand her hyper turn.
The idea that you can counter her hyper turn with strong characters fairly easily is why I think she is not deserving of a higher tier spot, her counterers deserve that spot.

By no means do I think that Tachyon is weak I just dont think she’s the unstoppable beast this thread kind of makes her out to be. (That’s Dawn or Bunker currently in my humble opinion)
