Best Way to run the Phantom

By Sonikgav, in X-Wing

I am looking forward to running

Echo + Stygium Particle Accelerator, Sensor Jammer and Opportunist (40 points total)

Puts some pressure on your opponent about the use of their precious focus token: increase damage output, or keep it to prevent Echo from a 5-dice attack. Yeah, it will probably melt under concentrated fire, but I'm thinking about running Echo alongside Jendon to get some target locks to make those 5-dice attacks count.

My suspicion is the best way to run them is like Super Interceptors. Some players are gonna get it. Some won't/can't. You ARE going to have to position almost perfectly to get their points out em.

I see many Ions and stress inducers in my future.

I see red everywhere

I see my enemies reduced to dust

Ashes to Ashes Rebel {scum}

There is NO "Best" way to run them, in my opinion. It's got a hugely flexible upgrade kit.

Advaced cloaking device allows you to cloak after you shoot for free. Can't do it if stressed though.

Yeah but thats what i mean, on basic Sigma Phantoms thats almost never going to be a benefit and the list the guy before me posted didnt have Advanced Cloaks.

Sure it is, next turn you'll get the decloak bonus.

While an evade is the most effective thing at 2 agi die, you are also saying that I plan on not firing every other round, cutting your damage potential in half.

Whisper + VI + ACD

Echo + VI + SPA

Delta Defender

Sounds like loads of fun.

Well this is preWave 4 meta of course but most of the ships in my area were ps2 or lower(lots of Blues and Golds, a few rookies, a couple people with scimitars) So ACDs on Sigmas could be useful in some areas

I would think

Whisper+ACD+Adv. Sensors

Pop a cloak, k-turn, uncloak, nyoom forward, open fire, recloak and focus

but that's a 39pt ship

I plan to throw navigator on there with Veteran instincts. That way I can make sure I can complete a successful maneuver after the decloaking maneuver, then shoot and recloak before anyone can shoot back.

Can't uncloak after you reveal your dial

Ah okay, I misread the card

I'm thinking this:

Echo

Advanced Sensors

Veteran Instincts

Advanced Cloaking device

It'll wreck face against anything but a Han shoots first list. Then, well you're just screwed, you better hope you brought other stuff to deal with that YT.
