New to the Decimator, some EPT help please.

By Archangelspiv, in X-Wing

Rear Admiral Chiraneau with Veteran Instincts, Darth Vader, Gunner and Engine Upgrade is the king of Decimator builds... Just remember to take your 'old' damage deck for the older version of Blinded Pilot and the lack of Major Explosion! ;) :D

Yeah, no, don't do that. Injured pilot will drop you to PS 8 and eliminate your pilot skill, which uh. Enjoy your loss.

I'd take two copies of Injured Pilot in my damage deck over two copies of Major Explosion, two copies of Major Hull Breach and two copies of the new Blinded Pilot any day of the week! :D

... And don't forget you also get two copies of Munitions Failure and two copies of Minor Hull Breach. That's four critical's that have absolutely no effect on a Decimator.

Reminder: Gunner Vader has about a 40% chance to outright kill a Soontir that didn't bring an upgrade in hull or shields

Turret + Vader ripped through my Soontir and Phennir. They just wilted away. As that was happening, Whisper burned up my OGP Doomshuttle.

The match was over in probably 15 minutes. I took a look at the dial for the Decimator (and exclaimed "No reds?!"), looked online when I got home that evening at what cards came in the box, and now own a Decimator myself. I plan on flying it tomorrow.

I cant promise this is something that is terribly effective, but I personally love Expert Handling on a Decimator. Because barrel rolls on large ships are spectacularly funny.

Anyday on Oicunn. Just fantastic. Used that one a few times, with good success.

I like RAC with Expose + Experimental Interface (and Ysanne Isard, too). Target Lock with your normal action, then trigger EI off Ysanne and have:

at Range 3: 4 dice with TL

at Range 2: 4 dice with TL and "Calculation"

at Range 1: 5 dice with TL and "Calculation"

The sheer offense often takes people by surprise. For best results, pair with a defensive Soontir Fel and get them to chase him while RAC does the work.

OK I am going with this Deci for the Casual Store Tournament.

RAC

Expose, Palp, Intelligence Agent, Experimental Interface.

Wampa

Lt Colzet

/X1, ATC.

100 Points

I couldnt decide on Ysarde, or Rebel captive or EU. I only went Intel Agent as I had 1 point left and I figured knowing where an Ace is roughly going to be I could block them maybe with Wampa or Colzet.

I am guessing you should TL over a Focus on the Deci. A focus cant really help defensively and a TL can hopefully roll a crit. But I could be totally wrong.

Expose is garbage, the extra dice without proper mods isn't worth it.

VI or Predator is all you'll see in competitive builds.

I won a store championship with RAC,Expose Experimental interface, palp & ysanne isard. Plus Soontir Fel.

So naaa.
