Making Echo effective?

By Ronu, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So newer to the game. Really a fan of Echo and the ability if has to really maneuver around. What I am struggling with is how to get the most out of it.

I've had success with a couple of builds but those were not heavy meta builds. Also like to pair Echo with Turr Phenner. Thoughts on some builds with them would be helpful and any tips on keeping Echo going while doing what he does. Thanks for any help.

I maximize echo by fitting a fourth target into my list.

Echo is great,but standard imperial 3 ship lists with it feel...short somehow.( just an uneducated opinion)

To give echo some staying power...I get three other target choices moving around.

Echo,lone wolf, agent kallus, ACD,sensor jammer.

Omega leader, juke,com relay

Wampa

Mauler mithel.

Usually people want to go after wampa first. Leaving all three others to wreck house.

The echo build is defense heavy but you could do a buzzsaw setup instead.

V.I. to hit p.s. 8 is high enough to cover most ships that would shoot before ACD. And you have omega leader to lock down the few aces above 8.

I have only tried one tournament with it. It's great against rebel 3 ship lists. Pretty decent against the 4+ stuff. And got quickly smoked by a well played palp,Vader,soontir list.

So ..there's that.
