Defender/Striker any advice welcome

By Toph, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was wondering if anybody had any advice for how to modify, fly, or fly against this list:

Tie Defender- Countess Ryad (35)

  • Swarm Leader
  • Tie/x7

Tie Striker- Pure Sabacc (26)

  • Lone Wolf
  • Adaptive Ailerons
  • Lightweight Frame

Tie Fighter- Night Beast (15)

Tie Fighter- Academy Pilot x2 (24)

My basic thought was that Sabacc could flank around the outside while Ryad and the Ties charged straight at the enemy. Between Sabacc and the Swarm leader I have two massive cannons, combined with a couple academy pilots for blocking. Swarm Leader gives the blocking or hurt Ties a way to not waste their evade action if they don't end up needing it. Originally I had Swarm Leader on the Striker (duchess then) but I found that the striker really didn't want to fly alongside anything else, it wanted room to roam free. Please feel free to critique or offer any advice on this list!

Here is a stricker list I have been practicing with. I stole it off the forums here, so don't give me too much credit ;)
