Guys, i want to try out the build with decimator but im not sure if using Whisper or Soontir. (the meta at my city is FatHan, dual IG and the 3 interceptors build)

any opinions?

Rac+Soontir has been doing really well lately in Regionals.

In your meta I would say Soontir is an easy choice, slap on PtL+Autothrusters+SD.

I used the following squad to win a Regional and after that a small 14-man tournament.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau — VT-49 Decimator 46

Predator 3

Gunner 5

Ysanne Isard 4

Rebel Captive 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Ship Total: 65

Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor 27

Push the Limit 3

Hull Upgrade 3

Autothrusters 2

Royal Guard TIE 0

Ship Total: 35

Like I said you can switch out Hull Upgrade for Stealth Device.

this seems to be the general meta for this build....other than BBBBZ whats a good counter? Im asking for a type or philosophy of build not necessarily a specific build. i was thinking something that hits hard and has damage mitigation as my type of build rather than the shear brute force of BBBBZ. so i came up with THIS

In this build I have two ships that have good health. they also deal a fair amount of damage and are rolling 5 evade dice. not bad for two big base ships. whats more, Boba will be rerolling attack dice and A LOT of defense dice. thoughts?

thinking i might trade out predator on IGGY to either LW (for initiative and odefensive rerolls) or PTL for many actions

They are both very effective. I would use whichever you are more comfortable flying.

what you guys think about Expose + experimental interface on RAC?

with gunner - rebel captive - darth vader of course

With all those upgrades on there there thats a very expensive Vadar ship.

I've used Expose + EI with Ysanne before to great effect on the RAC with a Whisper in support. The trick though is that your action sequence changes once you have that first damage card.

Prior; Action -> EI -> Expose

After 1st Damage card; Action -> Ysanne (at start of combat) -> EI -> Expose (otherwise you get stressed and Ysanne cant activate)

Build was this;

RAC + Expose + EI + Rebel Captive + Ysanne

Whisper + IA + ACD + FCS + VI

Switching out Whisper for Soontir;

RAC + Expose + EI + Rebel Captive + Ysanne + Gunner(or Recon Specialist for a 2 pt initiative bid)

Soontir + PtL + AT + Royal + SD or HU (or SU if you go with Recon Specialist for a 1 pt initiative bid)

You can't put Lone Wolf on IG-88 if you are already using it on Fett. It's a unique card.

PTL it is then!

I love the idea of EI+Expose.

It ups your jousting value quite a bit.

Still feel that Predator+EU is the better overall choice because you are able to dodge arcs.
