Oicunn + Fett anti-meta list

By Koshinn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Captain Oicunn — VT-49 Decimator 42

Determination 1

Darth Vader 3

Gunner 5

Dauntless 2

Ship Total: 53

Boba Fett — Firespray-31 39

Lone Wolf 2

Tactician 2

Engine Upgrade 4

Slave I 0

Ship Total: 47

100 pts

The idea is for Oicunn to take out Fel, Phantoms, and anything with high agil and low hp, the ones that like to arc dodge at high PS. Fett handles everything else with his own arc dodging, stress giving, and overall reliability with lone wolf.

This is my best attempt at a fairly unique anti-meta list. But it still has problems against B-Wings.

I like it.

I'd replace the Slave 1 title with the Andrasta Title.... it sounds cooler

Ummm, wut?

You realize the Slave 1 IS Fett's ship, right?

As for the list itself, I'd prefer to switch Lone Wolf to Vet. Instincts on Fett. Now he can deal with the high PS arc-dodgers himself. This lets you drop Vader for Engine Upgrade on Oicunn, giving him better sustainability against swarms/low PS enemies.

I'm aware, but i still feel like andrasta is a cooler name.

I would suggest to drop Oicunn to a patrol leader and remove the Dauntless title. Here is why:

- Oicunn's ability will realistically only have a single opportunity to be used against popular 2 ship builds since you do not have an engine upgrade.

- Dauntless will therefore also not be used often.

- With no engine upgrade, you do not want a decimator that is worth above 50 points to be facing a B-Wing list.

The less interesting you make the Decimator, the more likely your opponent will focus on Boba who has more agility and manoeuvering. If that happens, your decimator's health stays up, which makes it less troublesome to use Darth Vader.

I considered this, but what would you spend points on? A Mangler Cannon? Or drop Dauntless and change the ship to Kenkirk for more survivability against swarms.

As for VI on Fett, I considered it but gunner vader on a turret is already a hard counter to Interceptors and phantoms, so it isn't needed.

Commander Kenkirk — VT-49 Decimator 44

Veteran Instincts 1

Boba Fett — Firespray-31 39

Lone Wolf 2

Tactician 2

I put vi on kenkirk because I like it when my ships have the same PS. Kenkirk also helps against decimator v decimator matchups and can do a lot to reduce incomming damage from z95 and tie/ln swarms.
