Michiel's Let's Discuss: Soontir Fel #19

By MichielR, in X-Wing

Hello again X-wing fans!

This week we take a look at a classic: Soontir Fel, the baron himself in the TIE Interceptor, powered with Push the Limit, a Stealth Device and the Targeting Computer. After almost 20 build video's I decided I wanted to do the baron justice with a classic build. Many people try differen upgrades, like shield upgrade or hull upgrade – but everyone goes for that nasty Push the Limit! So what would you fly Soontir with?

After some delibiration and feedback from you, the community, I decided that this will be the last video with music in the background – atleast for a while.

Starting in two weeks, I will do a bi-weekly 100 points build 'Let's Discuss'. Since these take a little bit more time to set up and to think of – I will alternate between normal let's discuss-video's and 100-points-video's, every week. Looking forward to that! If you want your 100-points build reviewed or discussed, leave a message/comment/tweet!

Thanks again for all the amazing support in bettering my channel, love you all for it!

See you next week and remember: fly casual!

Very interesting as I've only just started using Fel. He is a very strong pilot indeed!

Jinky and gets to shoot first. My brothers look at his actions and dial and curse him!

I have been pretty poor with remembering his ability and factoring that in, so haven't made the most of PTL yet. That's what practice is for though I guess :)

I see a lot of benefits to what you've selected, so I might just give it a go next time. If I lose the Ion Cannon from my Bounty Hunter I'll be able to fit it in.

Move, target lock, focus, stress, focus. That is pretty crazy. Can you use both focus's though? I thought you could only use an action once per round?

Nice concise vid. Good work :)

You can use as many focus tokens you want/are able to every round.

You cannot perform the focus ACTION more than once per turn,

Spending a token and taking an action to receive a token are two separate things.

Yeah, Soontir takes a little practice. So what would you guys pair Soontir with?

If people have suggestions for 100pts build and they want me to review them: post them here in this thread!

Soontir+ Push/Stealth with 4 Academies and Howlrunner is quite strong. I wish it was 98 points instead of 100, though, so Soontir could also take the new Autothrusters card.

Thanks guys. So I can use focus multiple times, but I can only assign one to a ship once. But if I gain one from Fel's ability that isn't assigning. So I can use two! Right?

I tried out SD/TC/PTL/RG on Soontir at the weekend and it worked pretty well. I'm not sure I'll be keeping TC though as I want to buff up my BH a bit.

Next match I'll be running -

99 points
Soontir Fel (27) Push the Limit (3), Stealth Device (3) - 33
Bounty Hunter (33) Proximity Mines (3), Anti Pursuit Lasers (2) - 38
Black Squadron Pilot (14) x 2 - 28
