Practical Use for Lt. Blount?

By Rogue Thirteen, in X-Wing

A practical use for Blount:
​A sheepdog for Fel

If he has Stealth Device, Fel is concentrating on arc-dodging Blount to maintain it... meaning he's got fewer tokens for defense against the rest of your fleet, and has more predictable positioning.

And if he ever fails to dodge the lieutenant, he loses his SD and becomes mortal.

Is that common with Soontir? I haven't played against any experienced players yet. Only friends and my girlfriend and we all started playing right around the same time.

Soontir Fel + Royal Guard Title + Stealth Device + Autothrusters + Push the Limit= 35 points of PS 9, 4 agility, 3 defensive token, free die manipulating, crazy mobility unkillability.

Very few pilots in this game have a "Correct" build. Fel is one of them.

Side note: blount with assault missiles earns his keep in epic.
