Been seeing a lot of fun and interesting decimator builds out there. I've had some luck with one so far gone 3-0 with it (4-0 if count team game)
This one has worked best for me so far, but to be fair it had yet come against a Phantom or swarm
For a Phantom I guess I'd try to box him in and get oicunn into range 1. Keep him from cloaking
As for swarms not really sure how I'd play that out. Don't see them often in my area
Oicunn
Rebel captive
Mara jade
Anti pursuit lasers.
2 scimitar
Proximity mines
Academy
In the games I play it, I try to keep the tie in front of the bombers, and bring oicunn up from behind. The small ships soak up dmg that would likely be intended for the decimator, but also softens up some targets.
My opponent usually goes for the Tie or bombers first giving oicunn a chance to get into range 1.
Once he in range 1 Mara jade is awesome. Making it easier to ram, and have other ships fly into him
Rebel captive is a deterrent, but lately doesn't seem to stop many, but still hands out that stress
In some games my opponent split their fire, some shooting at oicunn, and others at the bombers.
Last 2 games I didn't lose a single ship. (though I probably just jinxed myself)
The prox mines have been extremely useful. Some games not so much, but I've killed a lot of ships with them since the faq that I can't help but keep using them now.
I have found this to be very tanky. With 31 hp it is a lot of hp to chew through
My list has weaknesses that is for sure, so I'm thinking of ways to improve it.
I really been liking bombers instead of just a tie if I can afford the points, just for their hp. I find they don't die near as quickly a tie can.
So this are my thoughts on this type of build.
I'm interested in what other builds people have done well with their decimator
I must have about a dozen or more
Some are pretty similar, just different pilot, or different upgrade or two. Some involve phantom, or bh, or mini swarms
What kind of lists did your decimator come up against?
How many games has it won
I hope this thread may help inspire some new list ideas and maybe give those having troubles with them.
Looking forward to see what decimator lists people are using and dominating with
Edit
I tried a oicunn and buzzsaw whisper build once, didn't so well. Han destroyed whisper. I also had some upgrades on oicunn that didn't worked well, and forgot to use a lot of abilities
Also tried a doom shuttle and tie with Capt Kirk and lost with that.
I did get one win with another decimator build but forget what I was flying
Since wave 5 two ship builds seem to becoming more popular so I am trying to avoid that.
As for the fat dash builds, I find if you can get oicunn into range one, Mara jade really makes it hard for dash to escape, making it easier to stay in that weak spot, and keeping him stressed so you can just keep right on him
