Grimm leads with Revelation as well.
I make double Radiance if i see too many Tec player on enemy team prior to game start.
Sova +vettes is a viable start if you can micro 3 groups of ships simultaneously and is happy to kite, while expanding and making 2nd Sova.
I also keep meaning to try Kol lead, as it becomes virtually unkillable if you get it to high levels...
All of the above require a skill level above that of KoK to execute and benefit from, otherwise its Prog / Marza / Akkan /' Egg starts for safe play.
