Emperors Decimator wingman

By Vitalis, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So i have been recently flying some fatdeci build:

Kenkirk

+Predator

+Palpatine

+Ysanne

+EU

and i love it. Its survival rate is comparable to fathan build with this 2dmg mitigation every turn.

But i struggle to choose correct wingman for him.

I tried TIE/A Vader and it wasn't too good. Whisper doesnt squezee.

I was thining about good ol Fel or maybe a Deathrain with Proton Bombs, Conners and munitions.

Any suggestions?

I love to put Determination on Kenkirk, for one point it has saved him to many time from the dreaded loss of his abilities crit ("When you are dealt a faceup Damage card with the Pilot trait, discard it immediately without resolving its effect."), and instead of EU I like to have APL as he can get ramed a lot if you use him as a good blocker....

So wing man ideas depending on your style of play

  • a second deci as wing man, great amount of hip point between them
  • twin shuttles your opponent will hate you
  • mini swarm always a classic
  • arc dodger great for people with a bit of experience in flying
  • bomb/missile carrier great with all the new cards out there

Thats the problem with Kenkirk: you either take Predator and risk this pilot crit or take Determination and need TL every turn or you lack firepower.

Classic 35pt Soontir would do well I believe.
