Yeah but its unique. They only have 1 squadron period that can snipe and its on a fragile platform. Ive faced that thing a few times and i usually outsnipe it with my four ewings before it does anything.

And i dont want cloak. Unless its paired with Rogue or denies beyond range1 attacks (which it should have done that to begin with) its a useless ability.

Cloak in its current meta form is pretty weird.
However, its a matter of lore. The Tie Phantom is the only ship built specifically for cloaking. There are one off cloak devices that. very rare for scum/Rebel, but that amounts for only a single ship in the entire of offering between Scum and Rebel in Xwing.

Although I was going to say for high level competitive efficiency I haven't really utilized snipe much as Rebels, mainly because blowing off larger dice pools has made it easier to quickly reduce Bwing threats.

Jendon is one of my new favourites. All you have to do is lurk at range 2 and he is basically a mini Yavaris with no movement restriction.

You figure "so what" until you get 3 turns of a VCX firing twice in a turn and/or use his relay to tap parts of a rhymerball that were previously just out of reach

Just the other night I had a VCX mercilessly picking away at an MC30 pivoting around Jendon. he just sat there and activated to keep that thing double tapping. no joke the VCX finished the admonition 1 turn before it would have unloaded an expanded launcher double arc on the side of my ISD, thanks to Jendon.

Edit: I should add that Rhymer was facilitating the VCXs range + Jendon. Brilliant combo.

Rhymer on the same team as a VCX & Jendon?

Am I reading this wrong?

Yeah im rather confused too. Thats messed up on two accords: 1) VCX? thats rebels... and 2) Rhymer is "Bombers" only

1. I think its most likely a Decimator (VT49)

2. Nope, Rhymer extends anti ship range for everyone, including non-bombers

I was one of the ones who won regionals with Bossk/Zertik/Saber/Valen, so I guess you could say I'm a pretty big fan.

yes, sorry VT49, they both start with Vs!!

and also yes, Rhymer is gravy for all squads. Works amazing with decimators. 2 points cheaper than 3 tie fighters and more durable vs AS despite 1 less hull, a little decent rolling and those things are a serious thorn in the side in a rhymerball

I still don't understand why rhymer was not restricted to just bombers only

Indeed. However, my nearby Victory I SD was packing Ruthless Strategists, just in case.

I guess same reason Yavaris wasn't limited.

Rhymer is pretty powerful vs ships but he does nothing for the AS game. Yavaris with a token can end a squadron battle in 1 activation if well leveraged
