First Order Fel

By Sixgun387, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My first build for my first upcoming league. Feedback appreciated.

Fel: PTL, RGT, AT, SD

Omega Ace: PTL, Shield Upgrade

Omega Pilot: Weapons Guidance

Omega Pilot: Weapons Guidance

I do plan to replace the Omega Ace with Omega Leader when the TIE/ fo expansion releases.

Your build is wrong, good sir.

You go Soontir and 4 Crack Squadron Pilots. This leaves you with 5 points leftover, which can be put into TIE MK II's for your Crack Squadrons, converting one Crack Squadron to Howlrunner (probably the best option) with Crackshot, a conversion to one of the various FO pilots, etc.

They ignore Fel and go for the Crack Squadrons, then they may have late game untouched Fel to deal with. They go after Fel they have (Howlrunner boosted!) Crack Squadrons to deal with.

The way your current squad goes, it's going to fling dice at Corran and end up doing 2 damage to him. Then he's going to wipe an Omega Squadron. You need that extra body and extra offense that Howlrunner and 3 Black Squadrons all with Crackshot provide.

Your (Sixgun387s) list looks quite hard. Omega Ace has terrible action economy & PTL stops you from using segnors effectively. PS 9 with 100pt will not be flying last against over 50% of tourney lists.


ParaGoomba Slayer's list is good & tested list. However it is quite far off from your original list.


So to get a bit closer to your original list, I suggest you add 2nd interceptor until you get Omega Leader:


Fel: PTL, RGT, AT, SD

Jax: VI, AT

2xOmega Squadron: Crack Shot


So start out with quite traditional 3 aces list & switch out one for 2 Omega Squadrons. Now 100pt won't matter so much as Jax is going last against Whisper & Soontir anyway and is quite annoying to Poe & Corran also. I would fly this more like aces list (opposite to swarm). Preferably aces starting from sides (not far off from Omegas though) & Omega Squadrons from center.

Yeah. This is what I had originally and switched back to, except I went full tank Carnor with VI, AT, RGT, HU and 2 naked Zetas, but I might try with the Omegas. Problem is I can't afford the Kihraxz fighters for the Crack Shot cards, which is why I went Weapons Guidance. Needless to say, I can't afford a swarm right now either.

I recently encountered an ancient text written by a philosopher of war. In the text, the author described the importance of sending word of the king by his most trusted warriors. In addition, the author noted that, having a mobile force, equipped to take advantage of weaknesses in his opponents defences, were a guarantee of success.I was of course intrigued, so I applied this to x wing, and believe that Juke and Comm Relay are superior options.

I was thinking of this for when the expac releases and I can get the Omega Leader as well. Seems like Juke might be the better of the two if I can only afford points for one or the other, right? Unless you meant Juke and CR on Leader with Crack Shot on the generics.
