30 Point Mini-Tourney - what would you take?

By Third Sphere, in X-Wing

A local club near me is holding a 30 point, one ship mini-tournament on Tuesday.

Any ship (small base only), any upgrades allowed by the upgrade bar, up to 30 points total value.

Any suggestions?

Soontir fel + PTL hands down the best choice I would suspect

Delta Squad Pilot, or Echo ;)

To combat the previously mentioned interceptors and phantoms you could also try Horton Salm + Ion Turret or ORS + C-3PO.

Some good considerations:

Rebels

Horton + Ion Turret
Outer Rim Smuggler + C3P0
Knave Ewing + R5P9
Tycho PTL and variations

imperials

Delta TIEdef
Soontir + PTL
Turr + VI + Hull Upgrade, 1 point for initiative bid
Carnor PTL, 1 point initiative bid
Sigma Phantom + Stygium + FCS + Intel Agent



personally i would go with either Horton or the TIEdefender

30 pts. Defender.

Luke lone wolf if you can.

Wedge and adrenaline rush if not.

Though the delta will be really fun

Defender for sure.

Soontir push the limit. Evade + focus is pretty hard yo touch with one ship

As someone whose used him it really isn't I love soontir but he's been one shotted plenty of times, you can't trust the greenies to give you eyeballs to use focus with and with no shields crits are a real threat.

Ptl Soontir would own this bracket hard.

Nobody mentioned Tarn? Basically 1v1 you get to trigger his ability every time.

Tarn Mison + R7 + Shield Upgrade, 1 point for initiative, although it's useless in his case.

I think all x wings auto-lose because Soontir would never end a turn in arc. Otherwise Tarn would be great :)

X-wing just don't have the dial for one on one fights to easy to get behind and stay there.

Was it said that it was one on one or is this a furball? Because Soontir is probably great in on and terrible in another.

He said small base only, so no ORS. Or OGP, either.

I'd consider

Grey Squadron Pilot + R2 Astro + Engine Upgrade + Ion Cannon Turret (or drop to Gold to add Flechette Torps)

Tycho Celchu + Test Pilot + PTL + Expert Handling + Refit

"Fel's Wrath" + Royal Guard TIE + Hull Upgrade + Shield Upgrade

Shadow Squadron Pilot + SPA + Intelligence Agent

One of these:

Fel + PtL

Sigma Squad + IA + FCS + Stygian

Only if you let Fel be shot at. If he's only fighting one other ship, Fel will be deadly and will survive it all for sure.

I think X-wings *might* pull it off, all depending on maneuvers, of course. Keep in mind that K-turning Tarn still gets to reroll the opponent's dice, so the penalty for K-turning to get a fighter in your arc is *much* smaller.

Other unpopular suggestions:

Vader + Adrenaline Rush, lets you K-turn with 2 actions for one critical turn.

Green Squadron Pilot + A-Wing Test Pilot + Chardaan Refit + Predator + Opportunist + Shield Upgrade (28pts, major Initiative, no other 2 EPT A-wing fits) The idea is that Opportunist is very likely to trigger 1v1 with low PS

Jake Farrel + A-Wing Test Pilot + Chardaan Refit + VI + PtL + Shield Upgrade

can't do 2 ships?

Yeah, I think this is where that white K-turn would really shine. Defender for me.

Actually. That is correct the white k against a single ship and no phantom is much better

DSP all day err day

Tx for the great suggestions, keep them coming. Lots of food for thought!

And nope can't do two ships...
