So we already know Whisper has a Pilot Skill Slot.....SO....yeah Whisper + VI + Advanced Cloaking Device you will have a PS 9 who can Focus or Evade, then attack with 4 base dice (5 at range 1), then get a free Focus along with a free cloak to be able to defend with 4 dice a Focus and/or Evade.....all for about 36-37 points depending on the ACDs cost.

Yes I know it was misspelled in the post title...ugh!

Surely you mean 5 dice at range 1

too bad he's only got 2 agility to begin with

Great find though!

Yes corrected the attack dice at range 1. True he only has 2 agility, but he will probably attack first with VI and would then have the 4 plus the possible Focus and Evade to use.

pew pew, pew pew pew, laser beams!

5 dice at range 1 is basically wedge at range 1. Its devastating. Especially on a ship with twice as many evade dice and focus for defense.

But you're all missing the fact that he can't attack while cloaked, so if he's PS 9 and shooting, he's only rolling two green dice

The Adv Cloak allows him to cloak once he attacks. I love it

But you're all missing the fact that he can't attack while cloaked, so if he's PS 9 and shooting, he's only rolling two green dice

Advanced Cloaking Device - After you preform an attack. Preform a free Cloak Action.

So yeah....he can attack at PS 9 and then he cloaks before he gets shot at! So he is rolling 4 green dice....and if he hit with his attack he'll even have a focus to use with those 4 green dice!

But you're all missing the fact that he can't attack while cloaked, so if he's PS 9 and shooting, he's only rolling two green dice

Advanced cloaking device will allow him to cloak after attacking

Also we have yet to see if spending that "Cloak" token in the activation phase is an action. If it isn't then this is a breakdown of what Whisper + VI + ACD could do:

He/She could move, then spend the token to uncloak, then Evade or Focus, attack at PS 9 with 4 attack dice (5 if range 1) and with a possible Focus token, if the attack hit he/she gets a free Focus token, also he/she gets a free Cloak action from ACD, and now can defend with 4 dice ( 5 if range 3) with a Focus and a possible Evade token.

So yeah pretty beastly for a total of 36-38 points depending on how expensive the ACD is.

Also we have yet to see if spending that "Cloak" token in the activation phase is an action. If it isn't then this is a breakdown of what Whisper + VI + ACD could do:

I'm pretty sure it isn't. It'll be like target lock: You spend an action to put the target lock token down, but it costs you nothing to spend the target lock. Focus and evade work like that, too, actually: You spend an action to put the focus/evade token down on the table, but it doesn't cost an action to spend the token and pick it back up.

So it'll cost an action to put the cloak token down on the table next to your Phantom, but it won't cost an action to pick it back up at the beginning of the activation phase.

Then this makes my example of a turn in the life of Whisper even more concrete.

Oops... missed that

well, this nice trick falls apart as soon as stress comes along... Flechette torpedoes anybody?

Yes....yes it does LOL!

I'll be honest.
When Wave 4 was announced, I was really excited about the Defender, because of stats and the way it looked.

Not so much for the Phantom.

Now... I'm really excited for this ship. It should be a lot of fun to fly!

It's like the assassin of starfighters!

I'll be honest.

Tis the SUPER GLASS CANNON!

Can't believe I missed that the Phantom can take a System Upgrade.....FCS so after that attack you can gain a TL (or 2 of you have a WE crew) then get that Focus from a hit and then recloak....LOL

I can't wait to see the wails of frustration from the first pilot to roll all blanks when cloaked behind an asteroid with a Stealth Device at Range Three.

Especially if the attacker manages four hits.

It has one less hull than x wing, how does that make it glass?

I did that at store champs with a Cloaked Turr, Range 3, behind an Asteroid...nothin' but blanks.

I fail to see how the trick "falls apart". Fletchette Torpedoes assign the stress token during the combat phase. With Whisper at PS 9 you're highly unlikely to be firing first (which you need to do in order to stop him from cloaking again).

It's because of them we can't have nice things!
