Triple ImpAces(OL/Soontir/Vader)

By FearTheRipper, in X-Wing Squad Lists

“Omega Leader” (29)
TIE/fo Fighter (21), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2), Stealth Device (3)

Soontir Fel (35)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2), Stealth Device (3)

Darth Vader (34)
TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Adaptability (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Would I be better suited dropping the Stealth Device off of Omega Leader in favor of putting Predator on Vader?

I run my list this way and love it. Stealth device on OL is great. He is the best late game and this just helps him get there. Good luck mate!

Or you can drop OL for The inquisitor but the list will be 100 points.

I don't know which is the best between OL and Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor is good, but I want that 2 point initiative bid so my ships can react accordingly to their ships. Also 1v1 Omega Leader is just spiteful.

Works very well IME, but I've gone down to Carnor recently since JM5ks have been a thing. He's a good response to Deadeye.

I ran this list at the Wixom Regionals to a 4-2 record. The 1 point Init bid surprisingly nabbed me the power to choose in most of my matches. I fared pretty well against most lists. Got demolished by a RAC w/ Vader crew and Whisper. The other loss was to some Mindlinked Brobots with Feedback Array which I just couldn't figure out how to approach before he blew all my stuff up.

Three Aces worked pretty well. If the matchups allowed it, I would dump Vader down to PS8 in hopes to push some Crits through to hull. Soontir is always an MVP (took out 3 TLT Y-Wings by himself to get me my second W).

As far as Inquisitor vs OL, I really enjoyed the sniping ability of Inquisitor. Allowed me to push past Autothrusters and the like. I contemplated bumping him down to a Valen with Prockets but decided to stick with Inquisitor. In general, Inquisitor was the first to be downed. I didn't mind that too much as it allowed the other two to flank the enemy. OL wouldn't serve very well in that role. While OL would be useful for locking down ships in the endgame, I feel like either Vader or Soontir served that purpose.
