Triple Defenders?

By Grimhorus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone,

Not sure if there are many threads on this topic but I wondered about some advice as I am thinking of flying 3 defenders.

1x Glaive with title D and tractor beam. Either crack shot or go big and go for ruthlessness.

Countess Ryad with title x7 and adaptability.

1x Onyx defender with title x7.

Any thoughts? The plan is to try to fly them together as much as I can and try to tag team at least 2 defenders on 1 enemy a turn.

The X7 Delta is an amazing blocker. I also suggest a Hull Upgrade for maximum tankiness.

Upgrading the Glaive to Vessery is almost always worth it for 1 point. That pilot ability is ridiculous.

I definitely agree, the pilot upgrade for only one extra point is a no-brainer. I think the Colonel's inherent pilot ability is probably one of the best in the game when it's paired with the TIE/D title. Especially, when Vessery's allies can fly around painting targets for him and throwing in an occasional block plus, they're gaining that free evade almost every turn.
