The Phantom Tempest

By 4fox100, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I absolutely love flying phantoms, and i was thinking about some ways to fly a generic phantom. So i came up with the following idea.

Omega Leader

Juke

Com Relay

2X Tempest Sq. Pilots

Title

AC

Sigma Sq. Pilot

FCS

Stygium Accelerator

Intel. Agent

Total: 98

I don't know if there is a better way to build the sigma. As you see i have 2 pts left. Any ideas or is it good as is?

Intel agent is great on a phantom, especially if you plan on using it for blocking (or any of your ships for that matter).

However, some players are quite good at guessing moves and don't feel they need the intel agent as much. If you feel confident about blocking without the agent, you can change it for a rebel captive. You'd be surprised at how well that card protects your phantom (and makes blocking that much easier).

To follow on the point above, Recon Specialist is also an excellent option for non-Whisper Phantoms.

Whisper finds it useful too, but less so because of her ability. The others however can use Rec Spec to always have a focus for defense even if they use a focus for offense.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I completely agree with you on captive and recon spec. Caprive has saved my rear quire a few times. Plus two focus and a evade is sweet as well. I'll have to test it a bit to see what works best.
