<3 Sensor Jammer <3 Share your lists

By polmoneys, in X-Wing

There is some magic in SJ:

Against imps shine as agility without focus is asking for trouble.

Works for every attack meaning good vs. swarms, Gunner/Corran+FCS...

If you k-turn thats one less hit for me.

It forces your opponent to think a bit more and hopefully make some mistakes.

This is my take on rebels&SJ:

Etahn A'baht — E-Wing 32

Predator 3

Sensor Jammer 4

Luke Skywalker — X-Wing 28

Predator 3

Dagger Squadron Pilot — B-Wing 24

Sensor Jammer 4

Intelligence Agent 1

B-Wing/E2 1

It's been working nicely so far as there is no clear target and all are capable of surviving concentrated fire,specially at R3. IA helps Etahn & B-wing BR and keep Soontir+Phantom inside firing arcs and/or block high priority/PS targets. Predator keeps damage output consistent and with Etanh crits + SJ around I'm killing TIEs faster than before.

Have you used SJ? Did it work for you?

Do you have a build where SJ is key to victory?

Tactician, Sensor Jammer, Stygium Particle Accelerator
Sigma Squadron Pilot #2

= 99 Points

Gemmer's Jammers

Gemmer + Test Pilot + Push the Limit + Chardaan

Airen + Squad Leader

2 x Dagger + Sensor Jammer

It's a host of difficult choices for your opponent. Shooting at Gemmer sucks if he's got the 4th die with Focus/Evade. Cracken doesn't have to get in too close to help out, and the Daggers have Jammers on them. If you're not Focused, you're costing yourself a hit. And if you are Focused, you're almost certain to have to spend it, leaving yourself undefended at the bottom of the order.

Can drop Daggers to Blues and put a Stealth Device on Gemmer just for meansies.

Sensor Jammer is a great upgrade. Ill post some of my ideas later.

In an Epic game a few weeks ago, I included Ten Numb with an HLC and Sensor Jammer..... along with Etahn Abaht and Jan Dodonna on the huge ship. Resulted in quite a few face up cards.

List I made last night and looking forward to flying:

Etahn Predator Sensor Jammer R2D2

2 x Blue

1 x Tala

I did really well with the same list and Corran. But I had bid at PS 10 Corran and felt it was wasted. Etahn adds 3 more points and R2/SJ is just monstrous.

Anytime you're going against the corvette (epic or missions), I love throwing Sensor Jammer on Kagi. I haven't had as much luck with the jammers in 100pt games, but that's probably because I'm very weak at action denial, so my opponent usually has a focus token.

Now we're talking. That looks awesome.

Thanks, phild0 :)

Whisper + VI + ACD + Sensor Jammer + Tactician

Echo + VI + ACD + Sensor Jammer + Tactician

Backstabber

This is a very hard list to pin down, but as with all Phantom lists, you are at the mercy of green dice. I have done horrible things with this list. Horrible.

Outer Rim Smuggler (27)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22) with Sensor Jammer (4)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22) with Sensor Jammer (4)

Rookie X-Wing, or Rebel Operative with Ion Cannon (21)

ORS serves as lead blocker, bumping and preventing actions.

Alternately, replace the 21-point shop with a 15-point Prototype Pilot. That buys you 6 points and an extra blocker, which will allow you to put an Intelligence Agent and Engine Upgrade on the YT.

I love the sensor jammer on the E-Wing. Especially on the expensive ones, oh wait, they are all expensive. I mean the named pilots.

Keyan

Engine upgrade

PTL

Sensor jammer

Prototype pilot

Refit. X 4

100 points used it last week, sensor jammer saved Keyans ass multiple times, he was alive at the end with one hull. Plus really fun list to fly

Carnor Jax
Push the Limit, Royal Guard TIE, Hull Upgrade, Shield Upgrade
Sigma Squadron Pilot #1
Intelligence Agent, Sensor Jammer, Stygium Particle Accelerator
Sigma Squadron Pilot #2
Intelligence Agent, Sensor Jammer, Stygium Particle Accelerator

= 100 Points

I was just looking at something similar this morning, but with Shuttles instead of Phantoms.

Carnor Jax

Push the Limit, Royal Guard TIE, Hull Upgrade, Shield Upgrade

Sigma Squadron Pilot #1

Intelligence Agent, Sensor Jammer, Stygium Particle Accelerator

Sigma Squadron Pilot #2

Intelligence Agent, Sensor Jammer, Stygium Particle Accelerator

= 100 Points

Almost exactly one of my favorite lists. The focus killing works amazingly. I prefer stealth device to shield upgrade so I can put rebel captive on one of the phantoms instead of the intel agents, but pretty much the same idea.

Yes Bob. We do like jammin'.

Anybody ever tried this:

Omicron + Sensor Jammer

Omicron + Sensor Jammer

Omicron + Sensor Jammer

Omicron + Sensor Jammer

= 100

Carnor jax - PTL

OGP - sensor jammer, flight instructor, rebel captive, ion cannon

3 x academy pilots

That's a tough nut to crack, and I've had a few wins with the list. People diss flight instructor, but with ten hull and sensor jammer you're almost guaranteed to convert a couple of hits, more vs swarms, which can be huge. This ship is also triggering a huge amount of reaction abilities, putting most people off engaging it early on. I feel the shuttle really needs engine upgrade for the late game, but it'd mean loosing a tie. I like the ion cannon, it lets you predictably reduce the amount of firepower coming in next turn.

I fancy running 2 x shuttle in this format too instead of the ties, but I only own one presently. What a chump Eh

I have tried quite a few Jax/SJ lists and he always just gets melted.

Only fools rush in!

Sensor Jammer on the named E-Wings is money. I run it on Etahn and it really forces some hard decisions on your opponent both early in the turn and when they shoot at Etahn.

Paired with a higher level pilot or two and based on what Etahn's ability can do, having to chosse when and what to spend a focus on as the enemy gets very hard and there are usually no good choices as using it for one option leaves you open to an equally bad option.
