Tail Gunner vs K4

By Vitrius, in X-Wing Squad Lists

If running Kath in a list, what would you prefer Tail Gunner or K4?

K4 paired with PTL is nice. So a target lock on 4 dice vs 4 die would offer more hit opportunities.

Tailgunner reduces evade by 1. passive, but situational (useless vs 0 agility ships)

thoughts?

Actually, I'd prefer Dengar.

considering how there exist exactly 2 0-agility ships and neither of them are terribly popular, I wouldn't call tail gunner situational

unless you're referring to only working out the butt, in which case yeah

but me? I hate green dice enough for it to be a number 1 pick

Tail Gunner is situational because it only works in half your arcs (also, Ghosts and Decimators aren't totally uncommon in the mid-table meta atm, though they're rare at the top tables). If you're not able to get your rear arc to bear, you have wasted two points that you could have spent on something that works on both your arcs like Dengar or Zuckuss or 4LOM.

THis is why I'm so thoroughly meh about the ARC. Aside from Vectored Thrusters nothing so far spoiled has shown any signs of being even vaguely useful, and even VTs are sharply limited in their utility to the point where I don't feel the need to actually buy them.

:( poor Rebels.

already mentioned how it only works outta one work

TG is powerful, you just have to make a point of using the aux arc

which, given the fact that some ships have aux arcs to use, really isn't that difficult, It's what they do instead of k-turning so they can keep performing actions and moving in ways other ships in the game cannot without losing shots

Then you should change it to Kath. Boba already has dice rolls, no sense in stacking it all on one ship while the other desperately needs it too.
