Tournament Weekend Build

By demonj00, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Gonna play a tourney this weekend and here is what I'm bringing.

Omega Ace (TIE/FO)

Expose/Stealth Device

Soontir Fel (TIE INT)

Push the Limit/Royal Guard TIE/Autothrusters/Stealth Device

Bounty Hunter (Firespray)

Homing Missles/Guidance Chips

Any ideas on how this may play? As always, constructive criticism welcome.

Personally I like my Omega Ace with PTL; being able to use his ability every round is a lot like having Accuracy Corrector. Expose will never work with Omega Ace's pilot ability, because it is an action and you don't have any way to give Omega Ace a focus on the same round as using Expose.

Also, how attached are you to Bounty Hunter?

Not attached to Bounty Hunter at all really. Just wanted to try running the Firespray in a tourney to see how I liked it. I am super open to suggestion though I have a somewhat limited collection right now.

I have the following

Imperial Aces

Tie Interceptor

Inquisitors Tie

Slave 1

2x TIE/FO

TIE Defender

Trying to come up with a build that is going to put out some damage with a ship that can tank.

To be clear I have the Defender but I don't have the Imp Vets expansion, just a Tie Defender.

Empire doesn't support the Firespray half as well as Scum. A generic Firespray (Imperial or Scum) is just a soft target. Are your two TIE/fo's the Core Set only? If you have Omega Leader, use it instead of Omega Ace. The Inquisitor with Push the Limit, title, a missile and guidance chips isn't a bad setup. If you have another Autothruster, then use that instead of munitions.

If you don't have Omega Leader, then try Soontir, Inquisitor and two Epsilons. Use the Epsilons to block for Soontir and Inquisitor.

Yeah I didn't have much success with that list. I went 1W 3L scoring about 120ish points with it. It is funny you mention Soontir/Inquis/2x Epsilon because before I got on here I literally built:

Soontir

Royal Guard/PTL/Autothrusters/Stealth Device

Inquisitor

Tie V1/Predator/Stealth Device

2x Zeta Squadron Pilots

I don't know if I'm sold on Predator for Inquis though.

After consideration, what I have ended up with is this build:

Soontir

Royal Guard/PTL/Autothrusters/Stealth Device

Inquisitor

Tie V1/Calculation/Ion Pulse Missle/Stealth Device

2x Epsilon Squadron Pilots

I had an embarrassing moment at the tournament today where I flew the Firespray off the table so I am gonna back burner large ships for awhile.

That puts me at 98 points.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this before but my very first tournament game was against Jeff Berling with his 2016 Worlds list. =D
