Preparing the league

By chopan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone! I have been reading many posts and trying to figure out something to play the upcoming league at my local store.

I found the Palpmobile really good but I lack of all the Raider upgrades and cant borrow them from anyone.

I really like Soontir and I really like Whisper. I have been flying a Soontir, Whisper and Omega Ace list but I find the Omega Ace to die quickly and isn't able to use its ability to get in 2 crits.

I have Imperial Aces, Phantom, Interceptor, Advanced and Decimator expansions for the Empire and StarViper on the Scum to get Autothrusters. I can manage to borrow cards that are not on the epic expansions so basically that is the only restriction.

My thoughts are basically Soontir plus something and I don't seem to find anything else to go.

Any thoughts?

This is my current list:

PILOTS

Soontir Fel (35)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2), Stealth Device (3)

“Whisper” (40)
TIE Phantom (32), Intelligence Agent (1), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

“Omega Ace” (23)
TIE/fo Fighter (20), Push the Limit (3)

Do you have the shuttle? If so try a doom shuttle.

I do have the Lambda.

What do you propose?

Instead of omega ace a doomshuttle. Lowest shuttle with vader crew.

Personally I am not a fan of Whisper and Soontir in the same list - because one wants initiative and the other does not. However a lot of people on the forums have had success pairing the 2 together so by all means give it a shot. Also I second the motion to replace OA with a doomshuttle.

Thank you for your comments.

I played the list the weekend getting ready for the league and I found that Omega Ace was focused first and lasted only 2-3 rounds. However, he was able to strip shields off very quickly. He is a clear threat to the enemy so he gets a lot of attention and Soontir with Whisper took advantage of that. Sadly I already signed up with it, because I was in a rush so I'll let you know how it go, but I agree that Doomshuttle may be better.

How woul you build a list featuring Omega Ace? There is something about it I really like.
