I'd smash Backdraft as soon as possible. The guy's pretty squishy from my little experience of him.

I'd also be looking to stress Ryad, who's going to be pretty predictable (straight lines ahoy) and actionless without ion engine upgrade.

Vessery's ability would be turned off with only a stressed partner who can't paint targets.

I'd stay on Ryad until she went down and then finally deal with a pretty vanilla x7 last of all.

Yeah you nuke backdraft first he`ll die fast, then you take out Ryad leaving vessery for the end game unable to use his ability.

Backdraft will never get to use his ability.

Agreed with the above opinions. The SF was complete garbage when I played against it yesterday. It dies fast...the other two though... D:

If backdraft is dying that quickly, someone isn't playing him right

The threat posed by two fully modified defenders and the flexibility of a ps 9 aux arc should AT LEAST make backdraft a bad target

Edit: oh the build is wrong. Should be VI FCS and tiemk2, though really juke/crack on vess are imo must haves

Any attention used on him, the least expensive pilot, is something the x7s use to engineer a better late game for themselves

I often play against a similar list (though i haven't played against the TIE/SF) and found that my echo is very effective against Countess (and presumably Vessery)
