Sensor Jammer Ibtisam

By Wraithdt, in X-Wing

Before Wave IV I used to fly a solid XXBY list with Ibi + Elusiveness + SJ that could demolish most things but after the arrival of the Tie Phantom and dominance of the fat PWTs she fell out of use almost completely. Now with the TLT meta I'm starting wonder if my favorite Mon Calamari gal has a good chance at the tables again. Anybody gave her a spin recently? What are your thoughts?

32 points before adding a stress generator, so 34 points minimum with elusiveness (less than impressive offense), 35 with ptl, and 37 with squad leader + E.I

***** be expensive, might as well get Poe or Miranda instead

(also, the TLT meta still isn't a thing, yet)

I had the 34pts build with Elusiveness in mind which could be decent at soaking up TLT shots but I suppose there are still other things out there that can tear her apart:(

It's still a B-wing though. 8 hit points is still at least one or two turns worth of punishment.

Sensor Jammer seems like it would be good against the TLT's anyway.

I would dust of old Istibam and see what she could do!

This is a really good point. Who's to say the meta won't be anti-TLT meta just because everybody's afraid of it? I bet we'll see a wide variety of squads, and 4x TLT will be among them.

If only there were a crew card that could stress her out. Ability + Juke would provide plenty of actionless re-rolls. Fleet Officer would be perfect. I suppose you could do it with EI and Lando, but that would be one hideously expensive Ibtisam, especially with Sensor Jammer.

EI + lando is illegal (b/e mod is a mod; so is E.I)

I know, I always get that dang thing confused for a title too <_<

one fun thing I ran briefly with her was Squad Leader + E.I. It's some very decent action efficiency both for her (stress re-rolls) and for the generic pilots under her wing. Problem was she's just too slow, stiff and expensive for my taste.
