Michiel's Let's Discuss: Rexler Brath #13

By MichielR, in X-Wing

Hello again X-wing fans!


This week I broke 600 subs, which is an amazing feat for a new youtuber such as me! We celebrate by taking a look at Rexler Brath with a Heavy Laser Cannon and the Predator Elite Pilot Talent.


My last video got amazing responses and feedback, thank you all for this. So keep sharing my video, it really works! I would also like to promote my twitter a bit: it's https://twitter.com/MvanRooijenJr - go here for news and updates. (in case I don't upload for a week or something..)


Thanks again and see you next week!


THE VIDEO:


I like the structure of your videos.

This vid is telling the most obvious combination with Rexler.

But the more important question is not discussed: what to do with the remaining 53 points.

Valid, TheRealStarKiller. My current set up is to talk about one combination for one ship.. and leave the rest in the middle for a little bit. I hope to show you a combo and allow you to fill up the points with either my other combo's or something of your own creation.

But.. I will start doing 100 pts full builds in the future. :) It is on my short list for things-to-do.

Got it.

Keep it up.

I prefer outmaneuvre to predator myself on Sexy Rexy... That white K turn just enables it.

Mini swarm, nice fire power and let's you block the enemy keeping them in optimal position for red to snipe.

I tested the build with two regular tie fighters for blocking. This makes the defender even more brutal, no matter which pilot.

What about-

Rexler + HLC + Decoy

Jonus

Dark Curse

Backstabber

Fire that HLC after the other ships have stripped shields, plus get two rerolls with Jonus?

I think after some play it isn't really that predator is good on Rexlar. Predator is good on the defender. It's just that he had the ept and predator isn't redundant with his pilot ability like Vessery. If Onyx had an ept I would fly the hell out of it.

When (if) wave five hits lone wolf is going to be the go to with Brath cheaper and a nice boost to defensive, suits his role as a sniper well.

I was looking into Lone Wolf as well, might be a good card for him yes.

Yea there's great synergy there. Maybe with a single decimator so that he can actually use it.

I never noticed before thus video that you flip all face down cards. That makes brath Insane with assault missiles against a tie swarm.

hmmm?

After you perform an attack that deals at least 1 Damage card to the defender, you may spend a focus token to flip those cards faceup.

Interesting thought ... is a ship which is deald a facedown damage card due to the splash an Assault Missile addressed as defender?

Ahh yah I could be wrong, any rules aces that can weigh in?

That is what I was wondering as well....

I would say no because the defender is the target of the attacker; the cards dealt by Assault Missiles affect the ships within range 1 of the defender.

"If this attack hits, each other ship at range 1 of the defender suffers 1 damage."

Hmm i'd err on the side of no but i could well be wrong, but we can imagine....

Yea Rexler probably can't flip splash damage, based on his wording.

Has anyone run Rexler with ptl eu and Yorr?

Cant say i have but thats because i suck with the shuttle, i know it can be made to work but unlike the firespray its not clicking for me.

Hmmm....interesting. What about adding fleet officer when Wave 5 hits to Yorr....

The question would then be, what would you pair Rexler and Yorr with?

Backstabber & Dark Curse?

PTL Carnor with Shield Upgrade?

Soontir with PTL + TC?

Soontir with PTL + Hull?

Vessery?

Echo with VI + Stygium (heh) ?

I've pretty much been waiting for wave 5 to play brarh for just that purpose

Wow, I have to theorycraft on that but that seems like a terrible amount of fun.

The only downside right now is that Fleet Officer does require an action and gives a stress, so there's a bit of juggling to do between a PTL Brath and a Fleet Officer Yorr.

But still, the range on the ability is pretty okay, so it should only be a hassle of getting the order down right.
