Make Deadeye unique

By Celes, in X-Wing

Or FFG could fix the FAQ for the R4 Agromech to not trigger on paying the cost of a weapon, which would actually be in line with the rules in the RRG

In FAQ they did quite the opposite. For a reason.

Because it's INTENDED to work taht way, to make ordnance and Blaster turrets not_useless_dust_collectors

Pretty sure this was ruled to "fix" the Blaster turret at the time. Ordnance was still far and away from being useful.

But now that we have Dorsal turrets nobody cares about Blaster turret anyway, so might aswell change it back.

Well, I see no problem at all.

Blaster turret needs a buff, not a nerf.

and ordnance is finally OK

Well, that's CLEARLY not true. Kavil loves his Blaster Turrets - especially with Manaroo and Mindlink now available to all but guarantee the focus he needs...

I'd argue that U-Boats are OP, and that they should stay that way in order to encourage the meta to change from Acewing.

U-Boats may be too good for their cost. You know what else is too good for its cost? 35 point Soontir. Regen Poe is too good for its cost. Yet all of a sudden wave 8 hits and U-Boats are too good for their cost and Deadeye or R4 Agromech needs a nerf. How about we nerf Soontir's ability so that PtL won't trigger it, or we nerf regen? Huh? How about making angled boosts red? No? Well shut up then.

Just yesterday I've seen a 4 A-wing list blow the triple U-boats off the table.

Basically, once you get out of arc it's just a 2-attack turret and if they want to cover a lot of ground with the missiles, they won't be close to support each other.

Carnor jax near the u boats and they return what they were meant to be. sh*tty looking, pathetic 2 dice turrets on a large fat base.

Such a simple fix to the triple Uboot menace.

FFG you are welcome.

Serious? Until wave 8, when did you ever see this turd of an EPT get played in the last 7 waves? Please, stop complaining people.

It's a great EPT, it's just been tied to ordnance that simply isn't worth it for five waves.

With three die shots at Carnor Jax and still having the ability to use their target locks to fire torpedoes. Plus by the time Carnor has closed they'll have got their salvo off.

Plus it wont be that easy to get in R1 of all three of them and Carnor likely wont survive more than 1-2torps if they ever get a shot. He is far from a hard counter.

TIL:

We're supposed to WIN every match or the game needs fixing.

every wave brings something new to cry about.... e.g brobots or quad tlt's or phantom cloaking etc etc etc

build a bridge and get over it

Everything is beatable. The TIE phantom needed errata not because it won every game (it didn't win Worlds) but because it created a distortion that was judged to be to the game's detriment.

Now the game has the Upsilon-Strike there'll be another meta shift. The question is where. Will we be better off or worse?

block them, stress them as long as they have no actions they are a 2 point turret wanting to be shot

Once it warps the meta enough, counters will arise. Those type of counter squadrons will be exciting to see. And unlike the Phantom, it won't just devolve into Turretwing.

Four A-Wings? This pleases me.

It wasn't this list was it, by any chance?
