Open to all feed back

Good list but I'd go one ion, 2x burst in the riptide wing, Ipn first, doesnt roll to hit, than use the heavy burst cannons on it.

I think the main issue is going to be (wraith) knight and armour (rhino spam) so I'd fit in more fusion blasters. Any reason bit to go 4/1/1 on your crisis teams and get a buff commander or shas`vre? Btw, did you forget one team? I can only see 2.

You could make the 2x solo fusion and have the commanders team go 2x2 plasma,1x2 fusion+target lock and last one free choice. (i like double cibs).

Did you remember to take bonding knifes on the enclave forces?

Culexus good, must take in tournaments.

Wouldn't take velocity trackers on the Ion tides and stick to fusion blasters or sms for their secondarys. (i prefer sms/ion and fusion/heavy burst)

It's 2 two man fusions teams to lower chances of the target living the shots
Finger the odds are with the number of shots the heavy burst/sums it wall always get some hits triggering the rule and if it pops the transport the ions will wipe out the squad
VT on the ions are to help wipe out flyers if the HB failed to kill it went with plasma for range and to help the odds to wipe out the drop posing gav squad
Is the buffmander worth it in a two man squad finger the odds are better with him shooting
Love the feed back as I am new to tau long time chaos player

Just put ewo on the ion tides and velocity tracker pn burst tides. I don't know your meta but one or 2 burst tides in the wing with.velocity tracket and ewo should take care of.most flyers.

The buff mander is not worth it for 2 suits but if you go 4/1/1 instead of 2/2/2 than he is.

Remember your drones can jink and ho to ground for a 3+ cover in the open. I use a similar list and D weapons are the bane of our existence; killing wraithknight and storm surge fast is key to those games.

EDIT: the fuison suits usually don't survive a turn, using one instead of 2 makes you loose les. Twin link + sole fusion for most bang/buck. Iontide with vel trackwr is bad because you always want to overcharge; can't skyfire blasts....

Are not the odds of one suit killing it's target low as they don't come with tank hunter
