Miranda Blues

By LagJanson, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Really struggling with Miranda. Unless you load up on munitions she doesn't do much damage but at her cost it's hard to put heavy hitters in with her.

The idea is Miranda approaches using TLT at range or to regenerate shields and if she gets a target point blank burn a shield to increase the torpedo hit. Biggs and Blue are support fire.

That said.. My theory builds are known to have horrible flaws which is why I like to put them out to get thrashed by the more experienced players...

I'll post my own edits and potential changes here... Really like to hit the next local small tournament with Miranda - win or lose.

engage with BXX and skirt the field with Miranda taking pot shots at range 2 and 3 - preferably 3.

And yet Jan Ors keeps poking her head up from beneath the piles of dust...

Similar strategy to the above, but the boost to damage is nice and the Hawk is quicker (barring slam) and uses the TLT with greater effect with predator. Those Greys seem lightly armed and limited but if they get ignored they will eat the unwary. If Jan is still around, boost the autoblaster.

Go way Jan Ors... you still fly that bucket of bad parts...

Another Miranda... no longer have any Blues but now all Awings? Kinda lacks punch.

I ran this build with Miranda. Not sure i like Blount but I don't know what else to do with the 20pts yet.

Advanced homing missiles

Mostly just wanted to try my new cards. Miranda is a lot of fun

Blount is definitely a thought. For 20 points it's a chance to cripple or outright kill threats like Corran. Can't much regen hull either.

Two flaws for me:

1) I'm not skilled enough for the post-launch to get full value of Blount back - particularly if there isn't any crippling crits on the target

2) I don't have Rebel Z95s yet so I don't have Blount

I am curious though how well that advanced homing missile works in practise with Blount. Again, for 20 points I'd gladly trade it for cripple/kill Corran in a single salvo that isn't dice dependent.

Ok, how about a little triple-X Miranda?

I wanted fun to introduce the K Wing into the local area... this might be it.
