Who do you think is the best pilot (with upgrades of choice?

By 4fox100, in X-Wing

For me.

Vader

VI

Title

ATC

EU

I dare anyone to touch him in the end game.

P.S. i know it's doable, but against an expert pilot (which i am not) it is pretty well near impossible imo.

Btw sorry for the missed parentheses in the title.

there is no such thing as "best"

context needed

For me.

TLTs

twin laser touched

I'd reply the same. But I'd temper it that if you block Vader he will die. And he does eventually die if you always get shots on him.

And even a single stress is really bad. As it makes it incredibly easy to block him.

Other than that a loaded Miranda is really good but much more expensive than builds normally allow.

TLT LRS and c3po is good though.

The perfect is probably seismic homing missile extra munitions and advanced slam. I bet that could solo Soontir.

IMO. 1 and a half Tlts for the same cost as 35 Vader isn't going to beat Vader. 100 points of TLT of course yes.

So fickle I don't agree with you on that.

Should have probably have had 'unique pilot' in the title for context.

we're not 1v1ing here

at least, we havn't been given that specific context so I have to assume a normal game where Vader is prime cheese to be swissed

So what pilot (with upgrades) is the strongest (not 1v1 just in general) Obviously nothing is perfect but everyone has their opinion.

Corran

Advanced Sensors

Push the Limit

Engine Upgrade

For me.

Vader

You forgot Proton Rockets, son.

"and spend the Target Lock. And spend the focus. 5 hits."

I've combo'ed that with a 3-4 hit Homing Missile from VI Boba and taken out a whole Integrated Astromech T-70 on turn 2 in a game before.

5 hit Prockets one shot a Soontir for me today that was fully tokened up. He rolled a little poorly but even if it didn't it would have been worth it.

Well, we don't have to be just that "one pilot" then. which ya didnt even name a pilot. You just said TLT.

We aren't even 1v1ing, for the same cost you get 1.5 TLT Ys. And that wouldn't even do it.

So...

Also prockets for me always seem to be too much. VI already means Soontir is dead to me. What else do I need to kill fast? Nothing that dies in 5 hits. A stressbot, but that takes 8 hits. If I just arc dodge him with EU, i dont need to kill him immediately either. So 35 points.

I mean, you could fully load up a Ghost with a docked Phantom and i bet you could smash 4 TLTs still

Context. Best pilot for what? A duel? As part of a 100-point tournament list? A 300-point Epic list?

Rebel operative Hwk 290 with bombardier and munitions failsafe, nothing else.

Though seriously.... Maybe VI Bossk with k4 and outlaw and engine upgrade... maybe throw in a feedback array. I love flying that thing.

well, yeah

Vader cant be a universal "best" because he's so easy to ruthlessly murder with TLTs. Doesn't matter if he can beat 1.5 Y-wings or some crap when he's just dead

Paul Heaver, fairly clearly.

Wedge with BB8, Opportunist and EU. Gets the job done.

Any variation of Corran + R2D2, but better with VI late game.
