Panic Attack Variants

By zerotc, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey,

I've been running the following and have gone 10-0 so far...

Blue Squadron Pilot [fcs]

Blue Squadron Pilot [fcs]

Blue Squadron Pilot [fcs, E2, tactician]

Gold Squadron Pilot [R3A2, title, ion cannon turret]

It's a variant of the original triple tactician list, but I've found the FCS' to be very useful when pounding into 2-ship lists.

It's got me thinking, however, if it's worth it to go for something in between for a bit more control without sacrificing too much firepower.

This is what I came up with:

Rookie Pilot

Blue Squadron Pilot [fcs, E2, tactician]

Blue Squadron Pilot [fcs, E2, tactician]

Gold Squadron Pilot [R3A2, title, ion cannon]

I lose an FCS, but gain a Tactician. In terms of stats, the X-wing is a slight downgrade from the B-wing, but I think it fits., Oh and I get to field an X-wing :P

What do people think? Stick with the 3BY or go 2BXY

I'm interested to see people swapping the Ion Cannon on the Y for the Twin Laser Turret. 3 potential stress every attack. That's going to be nasty!

Two stress, not three.

One when declaring the attack with your primary.

One when declaring your attack with the TLT, which attacks twice but declares only once.

The difference is in the wording. TLT works the same as Cluster Missiles in that respect.

TLT: Perform this attack twice

Gunner (for instance): you may perform another attack.
