Vessery Whispa Wampa

By Storgar, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok here is the build I am looking at

Whisper VI, Adv Cloak, Weapons Eng, FCS

Wampa TC

Vessery Tie D, Ion cannon

This leaves 4 points for EPT and upgrade.

I am currently considering shield and adaptability.

How would you spend those 4 pts?

Hull on Vessery with adaptability

You thinking of saving the 1 point for initiative is it?

Ruthlessness on Vessery. Does double damage against anyone unfortunate enough to be near your target. :D

Don't put Weapon Engineer on Whisper. FCS is perfectly fine for powering Vessery's ability.

Personally, I would go with Gunner on Whisper, but I'm old-fashioned. All the 'cool kids' these days put Agent Kallus on Whisper, and its solid too, but not as awesome as gunner at mowing down generic TIE Fighters and high agility aces alike.

I would run it like this:

Whisper - 44 pts

-Vet Instincts

-FCS

-Gunner

-ACD

Vessery - 42 pts

-crack shot

-TIE/D title

-ion cannon

-hull upgrade

Wampa - 14 pts

total: 98 pts

If you really really want the targeting computer on Wampa, it fits, but frankly, I think the initiative bid for Whisper's PS9 is far more important.

Alternatively, if you went with Agent Kallus on Whisper, you'd be able to take the target comp and still have a small initiative bid.

I'd say Wampa TC doesn't add as much as a staight Epsilon Pilot or Seinar Test Pilot would - the minimum he has to do is two crits to a single ship for his ability to be good, so he's only really there for the TLs, and the Epsilon does that cheaper. Crack Shot on Vessery. Forcing through an ion hit is a big deal if you get the timing right. Engine Upgrade might be worth it for Vess.

I'm going to start running Tactician on Whisper. Seems like 90% of the shots I line up with him are R2.

Only problem with Gunner is that it is quite expensive and probably won't trigger all that often with a 4-dice primary unless you are facing Soontir. On the other hand, Gunner + FCS does give some serious pew pew! :D

It triggers quite a lot actually, as you'll average 2 hits without TL/Focus.

45 point PS9 Whispers are why I run VI on RAC w/ Vader.
