Sabine TIE builds

By IG88E, in X-Wing

Seriously, I love that ships. It's completely different and kind of a tool rather than a damage dealing ship. And very cheap (comparable with bomber shuttles)

Sabine:

"Immediately before you reveal your maneuver, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action."

Her ability gives you good a range control

Examples:

Sabine + Tactician + Slicer (18 pts)

Sabine + Intelligence agent + Slicer (or feedback) (17-18 pts)

Sabine + Lando + Juke (20 pts)

(or above additionally with Experimental Interface?)

(Expose?)

Other ideas?

Well, I don't want to fly Sabine as a pilot, instead have her as a crew in her Masterpiece, so having a cheap bomb dropper.

it's a tie

with ept

crackshot

Slicer and something else - IA or Tacticia n. Keep her cheap - procs well of PTL to catch those stressed aces.

Sabine - Push The Limit, Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools - 20 Pts

Probably not competitive, but something someone pointed out to me as ridiculously fun:

Sabine + PTL + Illicit Cloaking Device

I'm going to move laterally FOUR BASES before boosting into my maneuver.

Sabine - Push The Limit, Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools - 20 Pts

Why Push the limit?

So she can do even more pre-green maneuver shenanigans! And so you can cloak and still focus/evade.

Works really well on the slicer tools build too. Get repositioning, dice mods AND trigger BMST without leaving you vulberable to the same.

Title, PTL, TIE MkII, Slicer Tools, Chewbacca (though better synergy in this build with Kanan or Kyle).

Edit, better: Title, PTL, Kanan, Slicer Tools. Though now I'm considering insanity with Cloaking Device and Stygium.

ptl is good on sabine because she by default does a pre-activation action, which means she can destress herself immediately for a third action.

Title, PTL, TIE MkII, Slicer Tools, Chewbacca (though better synergy in this build with Kanan or Kyle).

Kanan saves you the point from MK II. Also, I have a feeling the mod slot may need to stay open for "Captured TIE"

Can chewie give a shield if you don't have one base?

Can chewie give a shield if you don't have one base?

Not sure; the card says "recover one shield", but doesn't have language like Reinforced Deflectors limiting you to "up to your maximum shield value". "Recover" dies suggest no, though.

Just because it'll be fun:

Sabine

PTL

Kanan

Slicers

Sabine (15) + PtL (3) + Title (1) + Kyle Katarn (3) + TIE mk. II (1)= 23 points.

Not a bad pocket ace (not great either though due to PS5, but fun in games vs. generics). Can token stack quite well (2x focus + evade), 3 actions per round, a few more greens than the regular TIE to clear stress (3 banks).

Still a fan of this right now.

Sabine Wren (TIE Fighter) (15)
Push the Limit (3)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Cloaking Device (2)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Total: 24

Sabine - Push The Limit, Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools - 20 Pts

Don't forget mk2 engines for those 3 bank greens. Or Kennan for all whites as greens...

guys putting kanan on a flimsy tie is a horrible idea

put it on Dash instead and have Sabine benefit anyway

Honestly the PTL + Kyle build is insanity with Mk2. It's interceptor level movement and action economy. You can Boost, BR, get a focus then evade.

oh i didnt even think about kyle. She effectively gets FOUR actions a turn then with ptl!

Premove broll or boost, ptl focus or evade. Green move to remove stress, get focus, do another action

PTL is once per round so you are only getting 3 actions with Sabine and push.

Or Jan Ors for double evade (interesting even with the new evade rules)

PTL+Intelligence Agent+Illicit Cloak+SPA

Or if you want more action, put Kyle in the Intelligence Agent's place.

You can move all over the board.

It's a TIE, so loading it up to hell seems wasteful no matter what you do. I can't look past Title, Slicer, and either Intel Agent and Crackshot or Tactician and Adaptability. 18-19 points is about as much as you consider investing in a 2 attack, 3 hull ship.

Definitely not wasteful if the only goal is to pull shenanigans for the sake of having fun. FFG has giving me a Rebel TIE, a Rebel TIE with a crew and illicit at that; I plan on absolutely making the most of it and no amount of uncompetitiveness (if that's not a word it should be) is going to stop me.

PTL is once per round so you are only getting 3 actions with Sabine and push.

But if your 3 actions are BR/Boost/Evade you can get a 4th "action" when you destress with Kyle
