New to wave 2 Empire List

By Default02, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hello,

I have been tinkering around with a few lists.i have only played 2 games of wave 2 , once with each faction, and have decide to start my Empire first for wave 2 because ISD(looks amazing!) anyways please review the list with any feed back. I only own a little bit but plan to buy more soon.

ISD II- 176pts

Vader-36

Avenger-5

Admiral Chiraneau-10

SW-7 ion battery's

VSD II-93pts

Overload pulse-8

Raider I-44pts

Tie Advanced-12

Tie Advanced-12

Mauler mithel-15

Soontir Fel-18

Boba Fett-26

List ideas-

Basically deal as much damage as fast as I can. Move the SD's to where the VSD can fire on the target first with overload pulse and follow up with the ISD with avenger and the SW-7 ions for more damage. Vader giving re rolls as needed. The squadrons are based on the idea to cause as much damage before attacking themselves . Admiral Chiraneau Is there to make sure I can move to keep them engaged. Mithel will move every turn to keep his damage up and Boba Fett will single targets out. The advanced and soontir are obvious. I will use squadron command most turns if I'm facing a bomber wing. And thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

Chireneau + mithel = winning

If you can squeeze in a ECM on your ISD II OR move vader off that ship! If it goes down its alot of points.

Ecm is a must . Drop ion cannons for it

I would switch to Screed over Vader, upgrade to a Raider-II and move the Overload Pulse to the Raider. The math on Vader vs Screed is pretty damning. Long story short: Screed is better for the points, especially when it comes to Avenger/Overload Pulse combos. Maybe move Chiraneau to the VSD and upgrade it with Expanded Hangars. That frees up Avenger to navigate and concentrate fire instead of using squadron commands. I would also recommend a VSD I with ACM or APT over a VSD II. It's cheaper and just as painful. Finally, I'm not a huge fan of smaller squadron builds that try to do multiple things. Right now I'm not scared of your fighters or your bomber. Pick one and roll with it. Considering you have some nasty firepower with just your ships, I would just go straight fighter. If that was your intent, then Boba is not good for that role.

I would agree with this.

Although, I think Dengar should be with Mithel over Chiraneau.
