Horton worth it?

By Mrk1984, in X-Wing

You guys all know the build ideas better than I...I do love a Horton build, I like:

Horton's Torpedos that don't miss (32 points)

Proton Torpedoes (4) + Extra Munitions (2) + R2-D6 (1) + Crack Shot (1) + Guidance Chips (0)

I use to not like TLT's at all (facing them at first was terrible until I learned how to waste them) and now I don't like them because they're spam, and make me feel like an idiot that cannot think for myself or build squads outside the meta box; I think I'm just a mindless follower with them. I love flying the Y-Wing in a cannon-like way: Proton Torpedoes!

That's part of the problem when there is a card in a game like this that is almost always a better choice on a particular ship than the alternatives. Look at the huge number of EPTs in this game, maybe 10 of them see use in competitive play. It's not because people are mindless drones, it's because those EPTs are just significantly better than the rest.

Seven thumbs-up!

32 point y-wing's are never worth it, don't pump points into one agility small ships.

That aren't named Miranda*

Funny thing she can't regen when you kill her in one turn.

Eh, hard to do when you are Ioned and then she slams out of your arc

Trickshot is a neat card but unless you are purposely abusing it (like i did at Regionals in Omaha on the 12th with Chewie/Dash sportin' cargo chutes) odds are its best left as an EPT slot filler, not an actual intent.

Even bringing 3 large debris, only facing 1 guy that had a small rock, and dumping 2 cargochutes i was OFTEN unobstructed and didnt get trickshot. I really wish they'd change the obstructed rules to be center base to center base, because the amount of times i had a sliver of my base poking over the edge of the obstacle thus not obstructed really pissed me off lol.
