We have had a new meta for two whole days. How's it going !!?!?

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

Headed to a SC with 4 mindlinked Scyks today. What could possibly go wrong?

Koiogran's?

Not so sure that bombers can keep up with the U boats until imp vets lands. Really hurts to not be able to get that initial target lock prior to being in range. Should be able to have a focused attack on the alpha that way, and will be able to have a shot at higher PS opponents even after moving last (assuming you don't get blown up).

I'm guessing the meta will shift now, and get corrected a little more after vets and the defender titles and long range sensors.

Much as I am sure I will hate playing them it is good to see that scum will see some play outside of brobots.

Ooo boy

I think, after facing them tonight, that scouts will be the forum's next TLT :o

...

No more than the days of Fat Han PWT hate was.

nah fat Han PWT hate was merited for being a Han boring piece of ****

TLTs did an immense amount of work improving variety in the game, and these new jumpmasters fly awesome and look awesome

How'd you get three?! All of the local shops got MEGA shorted on their Punishing One orders.

they're not mine, but my opponent's

preorders and one from a local gamestore that ran out of stock very quickly (of jumpy and ghost)

I manage to reserve some at a local store, but only two :(

New Meta? So what people stopped flying Soonter, TLTs, Brobots, Palpmobile and ATC Advanced already? :huh:

Hey Rebel lover,

you forgot Poe, Stresshog, Fat Han/Dash, Y-TLTs and K-Tac-Wings in your list.

3 TPV with Mindlink and Manglers

Serrisu with tractor beam.

No one plays the fatties anymore, not enough to consider them meta anyway. And stresshog, y-tlts, and kwing tacts are all covered when he said "tlt". Only thing forgotten was poe, and to be honest, it's very understandable as poe is the lesser of all these evils lol

Chewie missiles upgrades 3po Corran still a winner.

Koiogran's?

Scyk has a 1 Turn in a non-red color. It can get by on Matador turns, rather than relying on Koiograns.

Dengar with VI, k4 and unhinged astromech. I still don't know what the hell hit me.

Hopefully that, and that it wasn't acting as a portal for the.... I'm'a stop there.

If only it had more 3-maneuvers, it would have been coated in black, and given a batman alt card xD

Why am I 'liking' every post in this topic!? You guys are awesome, LOL!!

The sky is falling.

There are going to be u-boats everywhere at the Hoth open.

Lost twice to a triple JumpMaster build during a store championship today. Guy who flew them went undefeated. I'm seriously a little concerned, he had this routine where he would basically just stay in a corner and wait for me to approach them, making me eat 3 torpedoes if I tried. I flew Poe and a few PS4 jousters and even with the pilot skill advantage I couldn't win. The only way to defeat them that I can think of is bringing an arc dodger, like an interceptor, inquisitor-ship or A-wing. Well, back to the drawing board...

Triple scouts with deadeye, R4, chips and plasmas or torp of choice, etc. are going to wreck things for awhile. Unlike tlt y-wings they dont have a range donut and the ps3 is the only real downside. You have to get out of their front arc or you are just going to die horribly. You have to kill one quick or you are going to die horribly. They have to absolutely fail on dice rolls for all 12 dice or you will die horribly. Agility 3 is your friend, RNG3 AT is your friend, 3 ATK is your friend, anything else and you will probably die.

THEY ARE BRUTAL AND THEY DON'T STOP!

AHHHHHHHHHH!

I haven't had the displeasure of playing against a list of three scouts with torps yet, but wouldn't dual Ghosts (Chopper and Kanan), both without shuttles and both loaded with Proton/Plasma torps, extra munitions, guidance chips, autoblaster turrets, and sensor jammers be the answer to that list?.

Both Ghosts will shoot first and potentially do 8-10 damage (plus face up damage cards) with their torps, both Ghosts have enough health to survive 3+ "perfect" torpedo hits (particularly with sensor jammers), both Ghosts will unload 5 attack dice at range 1 if any of the scouts are in arc, and if they aren't in arc but are still in range 1 the autoblaster turret does unavoidable damage.

I suspect you'll have to lose one of the Ghosts if you take this list up against three scouts, but both Ghosts have higher pilot skill and should come out on top if you have 32 points of health backed up by dual sensor jammers, four torpedoes, a pair of primary weapons that roll 4 dice natively (even if only out of the front arc), and turrets that do unavoidable damage at range 1.

The scouts bring more torps to the table but they have fewer health and lower pilot skill ... so if you maximize your alpha strikes you should be able to take out 1-2 scouts before losing a Ghost and by that time the remaining scout won't have any more torpedoes ... and he'll be facing a ship that shoots first and brings more red dice to the table.

That's a clever idea. Unfortunately, my knee-jerk reaction is, "Great. The only way to beat a $90 list is to bring a $100 one" :/

Ghost with Phantom + AB Turret + Acc. Corrector is fairly disgusting. You can't get out of its range 1 area of death when its Hera + Navi + Engine Upgrade with Roark + Int. Agent.

My knee-jerk reaction to your knee-jerk reaction is, "Pfft, I can lose with a much more expensive list than that!" :P

So, seems like we have to dodge them arcs while we fly as the true and loyal bucket heads.

But the gun slinging scum part of me wants to open my wallet to two more jump masters...

Ugh. yeah. It sounds like a fun list too. =/

Good luck finding any at a reasonable price.

I did say TLT which are the Y-wings and K-wings and a part of Stresshog. I did forget Poe my bad.

As for Fat Han don't see him that much? Can't wait to try rage on corran horn replace FCS with sensor jammer. :P
