Kihraxz or Fang?

By General Mayhem, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am wondering which fighter I should go with in my list. Either Black Sun Ace with Crack and Thrusters or Concord Dawn Ace with upgrades? Both are PS 5. I don't need critique on my Viper or G-1A. Here is my present list.

4-LOM

Veteran Instincts

Outlaw Tech

Ad Sensors

Mist Hunter

Tractor Beam

Guri

Predator

Virago

Autothrusters

Sensor Jammer

Black Sun Ace

Crack shot

Vectored Thrusters

Thanks.

Its not even a comparison.

The Khiraxz is quite terrible unfortunately (and I really like the model, so its disappointing to say the least).

The fang fighter is better in every way. The fact that it does not have a shield is irrelevant since it can take autothrusters...

Having said that, it may still be worth running Talonbane cobra in certain cases, just to take advantage of his ability, but fenn is also better than him (if you needed to choose one or the other....)

Why not both?

Fenn with AT, Concorde and PTL, TBC with Vectored Thrusters and PTL, or go Mindlink with Manaroo.

To answer General's question though, the Fang is much better at the moment. And until we get some Black Sun Veterans pack, it's gonna stay that way

True. I thought someone would have a "magic bullet" for the Kihraxz.

They serve different roles though. The Kihraxz is supposed to be scums chief jouster, much like the x-wing is supposed to serve that role for rebels.

While the Fang fighter is advertised as a full frontal jousting ship, there are too many conditions to hit to get all of their groovy bonuses, so they wind up serving as arc dodgers more than jousters.

With what you currently have, the Fang fighter may work well because 4-Lom will be your primary jouster. At the same time, toy could give him a jousting partner with the BSA.

Thankz for the reply. You are correct on 4-LOM. He is my jouster. Guri is my close-in fighter and the Fang would be my psuedo arc-dodger
