My own take on Phoenix Squadron

By Sonikgav, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Been experimenting with the Ghost pack.

VCX-100: · Hera Syndulla
Autoblaster Turret
Accuracy Corrector
Ion Projector
Navigator
Intelligence Agent
· Ghost

Attack Shuttle: · Sabine Wren
Push The Limit
Ion Cannon Turret
· Kanan Jarrus

A-Wing: Prototype Pilot
Chardaan Refit
Autothrusters

100 points on the nose.

Was considering a HWK with the Intel Agent, so i could take Zeb on the Ghost over the A Wing but figured I'd stick with the Phoenix Squadron theme.

So the Hera-gator spinning her dial wherever she likes, setting up those Ion Blocks on Aces that are higher PS than her. Was tempted by Zeb but that relies on front arc. This way i can be more of a dedicated blocker with a bonus. After that the Guaranteed, unblockable 2 points of damage from the Autoblaster Turret should be more effective, and its 4 points of damage if i leave the Phantom docked for a while.

Sabine gets to pull off the pre-movement PTL and with Kanan it means anything on the dial that isn't red will clear the stress for the action step etc and I figured why not throw in an extra ion source. The builder I use doesn't have the Phantom title but that's on there too.

I'm tempted to see if there's a similar Ghost build using Chopper, as Ion+Stress for bumps seems hilarious, but Hera is far more capable of causing those bumps in the first place.

Ok after a quick theory test i realised the Ion Turret is kind of a Waste if im not deploying the Phantom early however if i drop the A-Wing i can take the Turret off the Phantom and instead add...

HWK: Rebel Operative

Intelligence Agent

Ion Cannon Turret

Also noticed that if i moved the Intel Agent over to the HWK i can also add Zeb onto the Ghost which. might not come up all that often, will at least come in handy every now and then. Depending how it tests ill switch back and forth, see what works.
