PSA: Kill Deathrain first

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

I really like Accuracy Corrector on Deathrain - because he's often using an action for a bomb OR he's boosting to get position for a bomb. Accuracy corrector lets you keep up the laser offense while focusing on bomb placement - it's a bit different from enhanced scopes - but the drop on reveal bombs actually like higher P.S. - and Deathrain sits in a neat place, low enough to force the higher P.S. stuff to dance around the seismics - while allowing him to place mines on them - while being able to totally know when to place the seismics for the low P.S. stuff - Enhanced scopes makes the on reveal bombs more a guessing game - but it is very good for mine placement.

normally I would disagree with this statement, meaning I feel that bombs like Proximity mines need a low PS for proper placement, but I am intrigued by setting some seizmics or proton bombs as mentioned. Also in the tourney we had this weekend I faced another Deathrain and was surprised to find some new tactics I hadn't thought of, but also confirm your use of the seismic charges.. so.. I have some thinking to do, these Punishers are not our grandfathers bombers..

BTW - we're referring to Deathrain as "him" - maybe maybe not

But Redline is clearly the female bomber pilot from TIE Fighter

Skip to the sequence that starts about the 4:05 mark and you'll see what I mean :)

Well unloading ordnance, killing multiple bandits and mad piloting skillz makes me think she's Deathrain rather.

She didn't drop a single bomb, if anything her red scar and missile skillz make her a perfect redline fit.

As was said .. the replacement for Juno, was a Male..

Arc Dodgers can still have a go at Deathrain. Just recognize his deadzone on his immediate left and right. He can't 1 turn and his 2 turn is red leaving 3 turn as his only turn option to drop a mine.

Unless he takes Experimental Interface to Boost, then maybe he can clip you with a Cluster Mine, but I haven't seen that build yet.

You surprised me here. Deathrain with Adv Sensors and Experimental Interface is our lord and saviour. :)
