High Profile Prisoner Transport - Kagi + 2 Onyx-List

By 0rph3u5, in X-Wing

Since the ethanol-fueled Crit-generator has forced me to retire my initial Wave 4 "Vessery meets the Jonus Brothers"-list (never had to deal so many face-up damage cards), I've been looking for a more crit-resistant list to replace it.

Here is the inspiration for the new one:

... and the actual list:

Captain Kagi

+ Rebel Captive

Onyx Squadron Pilot

+ Ion Cannon

Onyx Squadron Pilot

+ Ion Cannon

It clocks in at an even 100 points... I've tested multiple versions of two T/D+Lambda previously and this one came out ahead as he also throws a wrench into the rising use of R7s (Yorr gives the Defenders the 1&2 turns but is hardly a gamechanger; Jendon is only good to set up for 3-4 turns ahead but no plan survives that long; While Onyx>Delta takes away from the points that can be used for the Lambda's defense they do allow to take on some of the cheap grunts that accompany Phantoms or fill up the ranks of the crit generator)

C&C welcome

How about dropping the shuttle for a Omicron instead and give it Weapon Engineer and the ST-321 title. Then switch one of the Onyx for Vessery.

Seems like most people have come to the same conclusion. Shuttles or mini swarm to go with defenders. Has enough threat.
