If everyone builds to counter the Decimator....

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

I'm 50% done with X-wing as it stands - I do not blame anyone or anything for the meta but I've just grown weary of it. Perhaps it will change after Store Championship season, but I didn't buy into this game to play the same, unimaginative 2 ship lists.

I came in 4th at a local SC last weekend - Capt. Oicunn and Col. Vessery. I felt ridiculous - there were so many creative non-meta lists and here I was, hamfisting my way through a tournament with only a minor variant of the uninspired meta BS.

I'm going to try the RPG inspired campaign at the weekly drop-in after SC season is done. FML I hope Scum inspires some variety.

You gotta go hole hog to do your part to dissuade this meta bull

The Stress Wing is my attempt to do this and it's been working well, but if you really ******* hate decimators you can't do better than BBBBZ

go forth and conquer!

Deimators have counters. Phantoms have counters.

But it's awfully tough to build a list that counters both. That's where the problem lies. Maybe stress wing?

I'm going to start flying BBBB, all with tacticians. Eventually something will get like 3-4 stress on it and essentially be taken out of the game for a few rounds. Once a fat turret loses its boost it's done for.

This should pound fat turrets, pound power trio rebel squads like wedge + b wings, and should do decently against Phantoms.
