40 Points! What do you reach for?

By Tsiegtiez, in X-Wing

Fel+Push the limit+Royal tie title+Shield upgrade+ Autothrusters

This but with stealth device rather than shield upgrade.

I used to run shield upgrade, found stealth cheaper and its better to not be hit at all than soak up one of those hits.

I ran fel in my campaign today with stealth and push the limit (cant afford autothusters until better ressuply comes in!) He totallly shredded most the rebel force on his own.

Quite often you're getting 5 evade die if you can keep at range or a rock in the way, make sure one action is always evade, focus for the second if you dont need to repostion then you're stressed so get a free focus... one for your attacks, the second to help with defence later.

He's *very* hard to hit and most the time the stress is irrelevant as you've got great green options.

He only gets into trouble when hes blocked.

I like the EH + K4 Firespray, or slight upgrade variations on that. I also love the Guri build mentioned earlier, Guri is one of my top 3 Scum pilots.

My favorite pilot? Kavil. Debating if he would be viable in this 40-point scrum:

Kavil (24)

Bomb Loadout x2, Seismic Charges x2, Blaster Turret, PtL, Unhinged Astromech, Engine Upgrade

I still think I'd take the Guri, but those 4 attack dice and the arc-dodging with Engine Upgrade + PtL would be pretty nice.

Or Vader crew, or PS10 Mangler Ten.

No one i know plays vader as a crew or high PS mangler wielders so i cant say its ever come up.

But you know, vaders a fair point but hes hurting you as much as hes hurting me but the mangler cannon well he's still not that easy to hit. :)

I still maintain the only time i've ever lost soontir is having him blocked and losing the ability to either evade or weave out of arc or both.

If you want to win take fel at either 35 or 36 points and use the rest as initiative and get really good at flying him.

Bounty hunter, recon spec, mangler cannon

Or bounty hunter, ysanne, hull upgrade

Krassis + Mangler

Kath + LW

RA: Wedge w/ Predator / Outmaneuver + EU + R2-D2.

Imp: Vessery w/ Ion + SoT -or- Outmaneuver/ Predator Flechette Cannon.

S&V: Guri w/ PTL + AT + Virago + Adv.S + Inertial Dampers.

Double mangler Scycs - dead on 40 points, and it's hard to find anything else that'll give you that much bang for your buck.

Dark Curse and 2 Academy Pilots!

That's just plain evil. I love it.

I've found the damage isn't super high with Spanglers, but the Mango crit is definitely annoying. I kind of think of them as generic squints: it's entirely possible they'll just get shot down immediately, but they can be a real nuisance if left unchecked.

Citizen, immediately report to the nearest Imperial Center for Higher Learning where you will be re-educated. Order will be maintained.

// thread hijack!

I'm putting this in reverse and coming up with the worst use of 40 points!

Dace Bonearm + Moldy Crow + Experimental Interface + Hull Upgrade + Gunner + Dead Man's Switch

On the bright side, Gunner should kick in every round, and he should eventually die. :P

You are cheating again.

You shouldn't use useless upgrades.

OK fair enough, Hull Upgrade instead of Experimental Interface! :)

You win.

Next topic.

Sigma squadron with Darth Vader, Sensor Jammer, and Engine Upgrade seems like a nice way to waste 40 points too

Kagi, Autoblasters, Sensor Jammer, Flight Instructor
