Juke Nukem

By displaced, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With lots of hype abound the upcoming Juke and Comms Relay upgrades in the First Order TIE expansion, I spent some time list building around Juke in particular and came up with this;

Vader (Title, ATC, Juke) 32

Omega Leader (Comms Relay, Juke) 26

Inquisitor (Title, Juke, Autothrusters) 30

Academy Pilot 12

Which I'm really keen to try out as soon as I can. Seems a real nightmare for the enemies target priority, with three excellent late game pieces and enough room for the Academy for the nuisance factor.

Thoughts?

I really like Omega Leader. He really wants to have an engine upgrade though. Makes him a little bit better at surviving when he's being chased around the board. And if your opponent goes after him first, the rest of your list can get behind the enemy and bring out the pain. Of course I think he can do okay without it, especially if you fly all 4 in formation. His effectiveness is much like Soontir's though---it increases dramatically as there are fewer and fewer ships on the board.

Juke is also great, and you have the right idea with it (use it in multiples to get the most out of it).
