Shadowcaster

By TrenchRunner, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Had a blast flying the Shadowcaster last night at my local store. Was curious what kinds of things people were theory crafting with this ship in mind? My list from last night was a rough hack at just throwing some things together. Looking to tweak it a bit and have identified areas where it can be better...

Ketsu Onyo — Lancer-class Pursuit Craft 38

  • Veteran Instincts 1
  • Dengar 3
  • Glitterstim 2
  • Rigged Cargo Chute 1
  • Engine Upgrade 4
  • Shadow Caster 3
  • Ship Total: 52

Old Teroch — Protectorate Starfighter 26

  • Veteran Instincts 1
  • Autothrusters 2
  • Concord Dawn Protector 1
  • Ship Total: 30

Black Sun Soldier — Z-95 Headhunter 13

  • Advanced Homing Missiles 3
  • Black Market Slicer Tools 1
  • Guidance Chips 0
  • Ship Total: 17

Taking AT off of the Protectorate and the missiles off the Zed to put a more powerful ordance shot on Teroch. Please feel free to provide constructive criticism on the list. This is really just Wave 9v1 at this point. I love the Shadowcaster, it was very capable in the games I played last night. I just want to either tune it a bit to be better or offer it a better supporting cast.

I've been running Ketsu a bit cheaper with just VI, Dengar, and the title. Then I can pair her with Fenn Rau and a loaded N'dru.
