My Raider blackout is over - catch me up

By mazz0, in X-Wing

4 tempests with Accuracy correctors and cluster missiles is a holy terror against 2-ship lists.

Except brobots in my experience :(

I don't understand... statically the 4 cluster missiles should take down 1 of the brobot.

Nah they just Autothruster out of it and take minimal damage. Even if you drop 1 the other can clean up fairly fast since they're only taking 2 damage max unless you can get a bump.

Yeah... Autothruster vs a 1-2 range weapon... you might want to read again your Autothruster card.

And once 1 is down, the other one can't clean up fairly fast. 3 green dice + 1 evade token = its gonna take him a hell of time to take down a Tie Advanced.

Why would you want the Mrk2 Engine as Juno's upgrade card? I'm sure that their is a better one to take the slot.

Wow I've been playing them 2-3. I am shamed. But that is even worse for the advanced. 1 of them will probably never fire the clusters. The others might, 3 greens against 2 hits will still blunt the damage.

3 greens against 2 hits, but that's only if you trigger the AC's, those things are optional. So you look at what you've thrown on your 3 reds, modify them if you want with a focus token. Or you decide to cancel the dice and just autocorrect. And you do that twice.

The Autocorrector's are an insurance policy, you don't need to activate them though.

Howlie allows your primary weapon which fires twice, to reroll 1 die.

Jonus buffs secondary weapons. You have 3 of them.

Just like C3PO never sees use on the corvette, you won't see the emperor on the raider too often. The crew slots are too valuable to give up.

I'm not sure I follow you. He works in conjunction with all things, doesn't he? I'm not clear why he's worse on a huge ship than on a Decimator or Shuttle.

Because the Raider has enough of a bullseye on it as it is. Palpy in a Decimator can draw heat off the Raider.
