Just a note, Talonbane may somewhat be an exception to this rule, but I'm finding that despite the title, Kihraxzes have trouble holding their own unless they have Harpoon Missiles, so I would recommend that, especially since it makes him dangerous at all ranges.

I like the Engine Upgrade rather than Vectored Thrusters because it helps him play with his ranges more. Once Engine Upgrade is on him then it's hard to say no to 1 point Autothrusters.

As mentioned, Ion Dischargers and Pulsed Ray Shield is a good combo. My personal favourite combo however is Cloaking Device and Stygium Particle Accelerator for 2 points, gives him some unpredictable movement and some survivability. Also a note, if your Cloaking Device breaks at the end of the round and you decloak, you get to keep the evade token from Stygium Particle Accelerator because the cleanup phase has already happened! Of course, free Guidance Chips is always a thing, and Glitterstim is another thing you can put in the empty slot if needed.

Right now because I do equip him with the Harpoons, I find VI is a good choice for his EPT, but Attanni Mindlink is also good. I dislike Push The Limit on him because of his lack of greens, Predator is a popular pick for him as well if you have no suitable Mindlink partner or don't care for the extra PS.

I think the Vaksai title has been successful in that you can bring the Kihraxz to the table, but it's not the top of the competition still, but it's also successful in giving you a wide range of options.
