Tournament Build

By jackal13, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm going to a tournament tomorrow and was going to fly Rebels unfortunately my K-wing and 2nd Y-wing has not arrived. So this is what I'm going with.

Soontir(27) PTL(3)

Whisper(32) ACD(4) FCS(2) VI(1) Gunner(5)

Omnicron Pilot(21) Intelligence Agent(1) FCS(2) Tactician(2)

100 points

I went with gunner on the phantom cause in a previous match I was on Wedge's six and he was at 2 hull, and I rolled 5 blanks. Thoughts?

Whisper build is solid.

FCS + Gunner mean that, if you miss your first attack, you will attack immediately, with a free Target Lock as well, thus increasing the likelihood of Whisper having a free Focus token with its additional cloaked agility.

It also means that you need to devote fewer actions to offense, as that largely takes care of itself with you. Instead, you can concentrate on survivability and mobility, which are where you shine anyway :)

Soontir needs 5 more points: + Stealth Device and + Autothrusters

These two upgrades, combined on Soontir Fel, mean that he has a huge chance of dodging all damage that comes in.
Seriously, with Evade and Focus at 4 agility with Autothrusters, he's got an 84% chance of dodging FOUR incoming damage, at range 2. At range 3, with the same, that's 93%. To ignore a perfectly rolled Phantom's attack.

That wipes out the upgrades on the Shuttle, but will be better for your game overall.

You might even consider swapping the Shuttle for another way of spending 21 points.

21 points is a Scimitar Squad Bomber with a Proton Bomb. Nasty little surprise that will probably be ignored over Fel and the Phantom.

I'm curious as to what your kwing ywing build was going to be
