New builds out there?

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

Do people still go with Deci-Soontir? I thought with TLT's and the tournament rules changing that people wouldn't play it anymore.

I guess it takes a while for the meta to die.

Man, I really want to try new ways to play my 4 Tie Bomber list.

4 x Scimitar Bomber w/ EM, Homing Missile, and Seismic Charge.

I haven't seen the 4 x TLT's played locally yet.

Well, it's a question of definitions. The two ship meta will die, but that doesn't mean two ship lists will. I think Wave 7 will lead to much greater variety. It's not like everyone is going to switch to TLT spam. I'm pretty sure a good list will have to be able to deal with both two ship lists (twin turret or turret + dodger), four TLTs, two dodgers + shuttle and swarms now, which is a huge improvement over the stale Wave 6 two ship meta.

Oh, and the Day of the Generic Ordnance Ship isn't here yet. Wait until Wave 8. ;) Tracers will make Advanced & Bomber lists dangerous!

I disagree. I played Jonus Brothers at my Store Championship this past Spring and was the only to go undefeated to the Final Four. Got crushed by 3 Phantoms, though.

Yes, Tracers will be fun, but I like my Tie Bomber list.

I'm super excited to try out Jan / Miranda but I need to play it a whole bunch to figure out the last 25 points.

Jan Ors (37)

–TLT

–Wired

–Nien Nunb

–Engine Upgrade

Miranda Doni (39)

–TLT

–R2-D2 (crew)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

-> 99 points

I just figured out the name for this:

Mad Miranda and Immortan Jan

My current list I'm having a lot of fun with:

Poe

-R5-P9

-Predator

-Autothrusters

Jake

-Test Pilot

-Wired

-PTL

-PRockets

Kyle

-TLT

-Moldy Crow

Kyle stacks focus until the first engagement, then can hand off to Jake at the start of combat and trigger Jakes abilities (making him get a bonus "move" even after the highest PS opponent) or hand off to Poe if Poe needed to boost to get arc or take a red. It's one of those lists where I'd kill for another 5 points, because I would love Recon Spec on Kyle and Autothrusters on Jake. I'm considering dropping Predator on Poe for Wired (to limit how much Kyle needs to hand him focus and free up Jake more) or VI so that I can get the AT on Jake at least.

I got fed up with all the soontirsoontirsoontirsoontir going on right now in EVERY imperial list. All the same gear (with the advent of tlt, stealth has taken a definite lead over hull)

So ive been flying this squad, which pretty much screws over the entire early meta....

Wedge

-bb8

-EU

-PTL

Lt. Blount

-Lightning Reflexes

-advanced Homing missle

Bandit

Bandit

Prototype

-Chardaan Refit

-Autothrusters

Soontir becomes a scared little child and Blount also draws a surprising amount of aggro off of Wedge. This gives you time to knock down a ship or two. Tlt spam is quickly outgunned by 5 ships.

So far its been really good to me. YMMV.

Ugh...I agree. I haven't flown an Interceptor in over 6 months just because I'm sick of seeing them.
