The Best Turr Phennir?

By 5-Cents, in X-Wing

Push + Autothrusters. Against higher PS, turtle up and shoot. Against lower PS, grab a focus and push off the free action.

There are really no circumstances where VI Turr is going to be strictly better (because you can always turtle or br+boost but a single barrel roll or boost struggles to get you out of arc consistently and usually does nothing when taking fire from turrets), and a lot of circumstances where Push Turr is strictly better (against anything of lower PS, or taking fire from turrets).

I'm right on the money with this one.

My favorite build, and one I have lots of success with, is VI, SD, AT, RGP. It's a different type of interceptor to fly given his ability, but I like Turr shooting at PS 9.

Honestly, I think both ideas have merit. Is Turr in your list to hunt aces, or to slaughter rookies? Both are great uses, but fly very differently.

VI + AT Turr does everything I need EXCEPT deal consistent damage. He certainly gets more shots than other interceptors though. Just not always with a focus to modify red dice.

That's it for me too. Both Turr builds pretty much force you into only being able to mod the dice if you KNOW there are no shots coming at you. I've played untimed games with him where it was him vs. near my opponents full list and I've won (same with Soontir) but it takes A LOT longer and after the second time it happens or even gets close to happening, it's no longer fun for your opponent.

That's why I'm rather partial to Lone Wolf

That's another option that could be explored.

Already did at the Regionals and it was great. I flew him with Soontir and Jax, and he was definetly my MVP of the day. Now, I never take Turr without LW.

Turr can PTL off the free barrel roll right? Making him a superior arc dodger even to soonts.

Correct.

Shame he can't have both VI/PTL. Still. because of the above PTL seems almost natural. Boosting or evading off of the Roll seems almost natural.
