Revisiting Panic Attack

By Wiredin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Panic attack is a classic list where the objective is to control the playing field by ridding your opponents of actions and keeping them locked down with Ion. It was usually a 4 ship flight with Y's featuring Ion Cannon Turrets and one of them having the stress bot, then pairing with B's with Tactician.

Actions are still required to do all the fun stuff (unless your palp) so lets restrict them...

I bring you the new king of Panic... Mr. Numb

He is more costly... but with Predator, R3A2, Vectored Thrusters, Pattern Analyzer, and Black One... you got someone who can get in, throw some stress around and not get stressed themselves closing the door on slicer tools.

Then you pair it with a pair of B'wings with Tactician and Ion Cannons.

Can Panic Attack be viable again?

Npt with nien

1 stress is so horridly underwhelming esp when slapping stress on yourself at every range except 1 with only 1 arc

Tried ot,veven with snapshot nien just underwhelms like a champ at every single range outside 1. It's a gimmick on him, nothing more. R3a2 ARCs are more flexible and effective

SoT targeting astro with pa is a joy to fly and almost viable; shame the t70 is so overpriced
