The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
Speaking as someone who's played the class, what this means is that (as you expected) you have tools for either situation and can choose which one to use based on the battlefield. Usually I use Drunken Technique if I'm fighting a single strong enemy that I don't want to be next to when its turn comes to hit me back. Tipsy Sway is best if I'm near multiple weaker ones.
