Rac And Mareek

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey ppl

gona try this out for a local turnament next weekend

Rear Adrmiral chiranou

Veteran instinicts , Kylo ren, Hotshot copilot, Gunner, Engien uppgrade and for the fun of it, Seismic charges

Maarek steele (DEFENDER) Veteran instincts , Twin Ion engin, and x 7 titel

I love the hot shot gunner combo, but adding the posebilty of say, giving a Dengar a blinded pilot with kylo is wonderfull,

Adding Maarek at ps 9 becuse i will see allot of Asoka Tano ties at ps 9 . :blink:

what do you think?

Best regards from sweden!

Kylo Rens best use isn't Blinded Pilot. Don't get me wrong BP is nice but IMO Damaged Cockpit is better. How about that Dengar rather than missing 1/2 of 3D shots (he could still use Payback after BP) he spends the rest of the game at PS0 with no hope of changing that?!? No he doesn't get last move for positioning, likely won't get much out of Payback and even if he is in a good spot later then you hit him with BP. The groupthink says the best is BP, for me it Damaged Cockpit all the way. Plus it makes almost any PS6-7 ship viable. Played a game yesterday with Echo (funnest ship to fly in the game) and she was top PS (other than RAC) almost the whole game. Changes everything. Good luck.

I must be getting old as I prefer Grandpa Vader to his emo grandson. :D

I would be tempted to replace VI and Mk2 Engines with Juke on Maarek to help push through damage against targets that have been stripped of their Focus tokens. You already have RAC at PS10 to shoot at Ahsoka if you need to.

Pretty sure in the build suggested Dengar is lower PS than both RAC and Maarek so Blinded pilot is probably the best choice.

RAC would be but Maarek would be tied at 9 so it would come down to initiative. Im not suggesting BP is a bad choice but it's by no means auto default 1st card and many people play it that way.

Fair point, I think I agree with you though, certainly damaged cockpit is probably the first crit I'd use on a higher PS ship.

Well crit aside

What do you think of The list ? It stod between mareeek or inquistor
