Defender double down

By Bbrawler, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So after reading this battle report http://community.fan...fenders-step-1/

I decided to try i out with a minor change of proton rockets, and just one shield upgrade, fared well against a rebel swarm, but got wrecked against a fat chewy and lando, I experimented in a straight joust and did not fair very well. So here is a new change and trying to pin this list down for a tournament in few days

================== [unnamed Squadron] ==================

Click to change squadron details 98 points Pilots ------

Rexler Brath (50) TIE Defender (37),

Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Outmaneuver (3), Hull Upgrade (3)

Colonel Vessery (48) TIE Defender (35),

Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Outmaneuver (3), Hull Upgrade (3)

I am certainly going against a falcon heavy meta, and only one or two phantom lists are in the area. I figure outmaneuver will help against the double evade(via jan ors)

C-3p0 falcons.

any suggestions / insights? I've been flying them as a pair, but there is the possibility

to split them to trigger outmaneuver.

The original list was very cool with decoy and VI and switching Pilot skill, but those

double falcons just ruined my day.

I would keep them separate if youre using outmanuver. youre sure to get one to trigger. im concerned that with two low hull ships that you may not last long...even with them dealing lots of damage. i mean you have a total of 14 damage you can take.

oh yeah, the hull and shield amounts are a little low, as the list leans towards the destiny of the green dice. I did have a game against triple bounty hunters and was able to survive for many rounds, and was just 2 rounds away from clearing them out, most of it was inexperience of flying these buddies.

Surprisingly the VI decoy combo allows for you to know when to spend a focus for defense, or for offense with rexlar.
