Crit Happens

By frep, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Taking advantage of the upcoming Tie Punisher and Imperial Raider, I've drawn up a list that should hopefully cause all sorts of critical hit related headaches.

Colonel Vessery, PTL, HLC and Mk II Engines 46

Marek Stele, Calculation, X1 Title, Advanced Targeting Computer, Mk II Engines 30

Lt. Colzet, X1 Title, FCS, Mk II Engines 24

I don't think Push the Limit is a good choice on Vessery. He has 3 actions on his bar. One of which you should be getting 'free' thanks to his ability. So how often do you need to focus and barrel roll? Yeah I can see it happening on occasion, but you are paying 4 points for the privilege...

Personally, I'd rather see PTL + MkII Engines on Marek Stele. That seems more useful to me because he's already getting his ability to activate thanks to the ATC

That's actually a pretty fair point, I'm also considering dropping the HLC in favour of amangler cannon, maximize those crits and maybe squeeze in some proton rockets for Stele

I wouldn't drop the HLC. Vessery is amazing with it. While crits are nice on high hull targets, more damage means less stuff on the table shooting back at you.
