Kylo, Swarm leader

By PoorGreedo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone!

Here a list that I wanna try with a pretty loaded up Upsilon, what do you guys think ?

Kylo Ren (52) - Upsilon-class Shuttle
Swarm Leader (3), Sensor Jammer (4), General Hux (5), Sensor Cluster (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Ion Projector (2)

Academy Pilot (12) - TIE Fighter
Academy Pilot (12) - TIE Fighter
Academy Pilot (12) - TIE Fighter
Academy Pilot (12) - TIE Fighter

Hux would gives focus to Kylo and two ties. Pattern Analyser assures me an action when a wanna do a red maneuver (if I don't already have a stress token).

is Sensor Jammer really worth it over Fire Control Systen?

I have a lean Swarm Leader Ren, just FCS and Intelligence Agent flying with 4 Epsilon Sq. Pilots.

I think FCS is worth trying, but I think Sensor Jammer may be in a tough spot with Expertise, Attanni Mindlink, and Hux running around. Hotshot Copilot can help Sensor Jammer trigger. Everybody talks about how attacks in this game have been ramped up lately, so I am going to give Reinforced Deflectors a try. Getting a shield back after suffering 3+ damage sounds pretty sweet. Don't know if it will be good or not yet.

Sensor Cluster allows you to use a focus to change a blank agility die to an evade. I think you are thinking of pattern analyzer. Fortunately they are the same cost.

As for the list, I would be afraid that your opponent would just focus down the shuttle and leave you with just 4 TIEs. 12 hull behind 1 agility does not go far when being focus fired, just ask Bossk.

You're right, I made the correction for Pattern Analyzer!

so you think it would be better to have 2 or 3 Named Ties with upgrade with the Shuttle ?

If I go 3 Named Ties from 4, I will take FCS to get two more points for my Ties!
