The Amazing Fel and the HeartAttacks

By treybert, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've always been a big fan of the stress saw. Accuracy corrector added the ability to purposely miss to double stress. But then I realized, why not drop gunner and just put 2 tacticians on? The whole reason for gunner was to trigger FCS. With AC, its always 2 hits and a 12.5% chance for 3 with no need for actions.

Dropping the dual gunners let me squeeze in Fel with all the goodies. 1 leftover point so shield upgrade is an option, if you don't mind not having initiative.

A shuttle goes in each corner. Fel on the flank. The targeted shuttle goes slow while the other cuts in. When one shuttle is low, it zips away and starts its long u-turn maneuver. Fel gets ignored, and preys on the double stressed victims.

Im really excited for this squad. Shuttles still feel like a lot of ship for the points. I am more tempted by buzzsaw whisper than fel. Those extra points really let you get carried away with cool upgrades.

If you attack one target with the shuttles is that 4 stress?!

If you attack one target with the shuttles is that 4 stress?!

Pretty sure

I watched something stupid on YouTube: 3 Omni Falcons with double Tac vs 4 Omni Group Pilots with double Tac. :D

Only issue I see is Outmanuever or something with a Special K Turn blasting up one Omni.

If both attacks are from range 2, yes.
