YT-2400 - Thoughts?

By Hida77, in X-Wing

Hey all, want to preface by saying that the Outrider is one of my all-time favorite ships and I was very excited to be able to get one while I was at GenCon. I am planning on playing it a bit at my local league night, but have been struggling to find builds/lists for it, particularly something outside of the HLC turret.


Basically, I am looking for ideas on how to build the ship such that it performs well. I am more than willing to hear out just about anything.


The best list I've come up with thus far (which has the added bonus of using some other stuff I picked up!). Its a bit obvious, basically trying out the HLC turret with some not so easy to kill wingmen.


Dash

+Veteran Instincts

+Outrider

+HLC


Tarn

+R7 Astro


Jake Farrel

+Predator

+Chaardan


Comes out to 99


Some cards I think go really well with the YT-2400:

- Predator

- Recon Specialist

- Lone Wolf?

- Anti-Pursuit Lasers


Some other Combos/Ideas I had:

- Eaden Vrill + Hobbie w/R3-A2

- Leebo (pilot) w/Determination

- Eaden Vrill + Tactitian

- Eaden Vrill + Nera Dantels w/Flechette Torp(s) and Failsafe


I definately am looking forward to seeing what more of the Cannons from the new Scum stuff do, since I hope they open up the Outrider title even more.


Thoughts/Opinions? What are some fun (and hopefully, somewhat good) builds you all have come up with?

Dash Rendar + Heavy Laser Cannon + Outrider (48)

Chewbacca + Veteran Instincts + Gunner + C-3PO + Millennium Falcon (52)

This is a build I've been wanting to try out.

Yeah just realized Vrill's ability only works on primary weapons attacks.

I really think Vrill is the best deal in the set. Slightly less durable than a falcon but a 360 3 die attack. Try this:

Eaden Vrill

++ Recon Specialist

Hobbie Klivian

++R3-A2

++ Flechette Torpedoes

Bandit Squadron Pilot

Dash Rendar + Stay On Target + Navigator + Engine Upgrade + Outrider + Heavy Laser Cannon + Assault Missiles

That's the team. Avoid blockers, stay at range, use Navigator to avoid stress from SOT, try to survive for 60 minutes while killing at least one ship. Are you a bad enough dude to pull this off?

Just a different take on your idea.

Eaden Vrill + Heavy Laser Cannon (39)

Tarn Mison + R3-A2 (25)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

You still get 5 ships and a HLC that does not limit the YT-2400 from using the primary. If the enemy falls into his primary arc you get that heavy blast with HLC otherwise let Tarn do his magic with stressing out targets for Vrill.
