Epic 400 w/ Raider & Gozanti

By Who8themoon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi Guys,

As the title states, Epic 400 w/ Raider & Gozanti. Light Raider build but I think there's enough support to push here. Ties in the Gozanti, it can block ships after it deploys. Can drop Vader for a built out Jendon to support the bombers and a few little upgrades to the Raider. But Vader, right? Your thoughts?

You should really use all your hard points. You get to fire your primary and EACH secondary weapon on epic ships, so not having your fore hard point used is giving up 1 attack per turn.

I played earlier this year and really took advantage of the palp wampa combo, for 22 points it's totally worth adding to your swarm,

Drop the points sink decimator. Get more ties and upgrades for huge ships.

I agree with dumping the Deci. They tend to melt really fast in Epic. Add more ties and a Space Cow with Palp.

Go shuttle with emperor and fly it like it's ashamed to show it's face. I like to throw an Ace in an epic list too. People either seem to obsess over it or leave it alone until it hurts them.
