Countess Ryad

By Tailsgod, in X-Wing

You spin me right round, Baby

Right round like a ryad, baby
Right round round round

You spin me right round, Baby

Right round like a Ryad, baby
Right round round round

Oh yes it's Ladies Night and the feeling's right.

Now that's a blast from the past... sadly, there are a lot of players that may not have been were not born when that song came out... and some of us that enjoyed it in high school or beyond...

*cough* 31 years ago?!? *cough*

Now I'm depressed...

The countess gives me a woody lol. I have not even flown with her yet and she is already quickly becoming my favorite pilot. Just imagining the shennanigans I can do with her and Juno together.

Her name is now Countess Bathory.

The Countess is exactly what I was looking for in a Defender pilot, a new way to abuse that white K-turn. Not only does she do that, but she one-ups that by making that K-turn green! I am giddy with excitement. I only hope that her low PS does not hamper her too much.

Imperial just got their Tyco.

Some pop dude made a remix of it, so a lot of players know it. But the original is the best :)

Imperial just got their Tyco.

Well, she's still hamstrung if she gets double-stressed, but the x7 title makes that less of an issue.

I've heard that its countess spinnydoo!!!

thank nigeltastic for the best name ever!

And there's nothing like K-turning a couple of times in a row to drop that stress.

Even without giving her a Mk II mod, she has a much more mobile profile than any other Defender. Her loadout options are also going to be pretty varied. I can see wanting her with PTL and EU, but VI wouldn't be horrible either.

I could see Predator (maybe Lone Wolf), Ion Cannon, Engine Upgrade, TIE/D for 44 points.

You use the K-turn flexibility + EU to do crazy movement jank, and rely on 2 attacks + Predator to do big time damage.

Imps finally have an answer to Tactician+Ion Bwings?

She gave you a car? Take care of that wood frame it'll cost you a fortune if it warps or rots.

GREEN K TURNS ON A DEFENDER?? MY BODY HAS NEVER BEEN SO READY.

Too bad she isn't scum. Then I could make all the GI Jokes about the Countess and Cobra Commander.

edit: nevermind. I forgot Baroness is Scum, Countess is Imperial.

Yup, I feel your pain with the original during high school.

Personally I'd trade echo for Juno just because I'd rather fly the TIE phantom, but to each their own. Definitely looks like a fun list.
