Juno-it

By Warlon, in X-Wing

So I feel like running Juno Eclipse, but I've never really found good wingmates for her, but I came up with this:

TIE Advanced: ยท Juno Eclipse (28)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x1 (0)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)
TIE Bomber: Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Lightweight Frame (2)
TIE Shuttle (0)
Fleet Officer (3)
TIE Striker: Black Squadron Scout (20)
Juke (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Adaptive ailerons (0)
TIE Striker: Black Squadron Scout (20)
Juke (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Adaptive ailerons (0)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

The idea is to give the B$$ Strikers Focus tokens so they can evade each turn to fuel Juke and still have some offensive modifications.

Juno is there because...I dunno.

Other than running Darth Vader instead of Juno, how would you run/tweak this list?

While I don't have any advice for the list, I do wish you luck with it. I've been wanting a good way to fly Juno for a long time now, and would love to hear of success stories.

I've had some luck in casual games with Juno + Juke & Accuracy Corrector (comes in at 30 points). She plays kinda like a weirder Omega Leader but tends to be a bit more squirrely.

The downside with that build is she really needs a couple allies who can lay down a lot of red dice, because like OL she slowly chips people down. Maybe a Quickdraw + Juno (juke, AC) + a Tractor Beam Tie/D? VI Maarek?

I know Juno with Predator and the title with AdvTC is pretty good, but I LOVE Strikers, and wanted to include them into the list.

Plus Fleet Officer Shuttle is too good.

I personally like Juno with Acc. correctors or Sensor Jammer and a Proton Rocket, using her as an ace assassin.

You want Mk. IIs on the fleet officer bomber.

I've run a list quite a bit like this. It can be quite good. Seriously consider finding the points for a proton rocket on Juno, and then take guidance chips. She doesn't need Mk. IIs.

I was going to suggest VI, Prockets, and sensor jammer

Interesting build there.

My sole success with Juno has been PTL+ MKII alongside Vader and Deathrain. Still not a great success.

I thought about PtL MK.II Juno, but I figure if I was going to spend that many points on her I would just run Vader, who can do the same thing with no stress.

I really like the two Striker escorts, I ran two of them with Predator instead of Juke and they gave even Dash Rendar a run for his money.

And with how popular high PS aces are (7-9 range) there's nothing more hilarious than outmaneuvering Dengar, Rey or Inquisitor, which is why I put V.I on Juno.

I know this is deviating heavily from your list, but with her ability I've always considered Juno to be one of the best Procket carriers in the game. Maybe an alpha-heavy list?

My alpha heavy list is two Gamma vets with some ordnance, LRS, and crack shot, with Major Stridan with Targeting Synchronizer and weapons engineer.

MAN that list was fun.

I was a heavy Juno user in Wave6. She's not that great, but there's a place for her: Vader has pushed her out with his double actions. Juno wanted PS9 and help with dice mods.

Pros of Juno:
You might not need PS9/10 anymore. Opening up her EPT. She's really great at PS9/10 though.
She's very cheap. And gains serious jousting value from her ability if you can get her to arc dodge with it. I play her as a cheap arc dodger.
She fits into a lot of different builds coming in around 30 points.

I'd try this: Either VI, Prockets AccCorrector. or VI ATC. No need for mk2 engine.

She loves tanky and dice mod pushing wingmen:

Tie bomber with Op Sec. Juno misses a lot with AC.

Tie bomber with Kylo ren -> for ATC help. General Hux.

Upsilon shuttle coordinate or Palptine helps out a lot. She is a good candidate for coordinate beneficiary.

Tie bombers with bombs: I love some Conner nets and thermal dets. Tie bombers are great wingmen, as they have the hull you can use them as the tanky front.

Strikers are cheap 2nd aces to Juno.
