Quick RAC

By Jehovah Netto, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This is my idea of a Decimator with Kylo Ren and Quickdraw.

Decimator

Veteran Instincts

Hotshot Co-pilot

Gunner

Kylo Ren

Engine Upgrade

Dauntless

Quickdraw

A Score to Settle

Fire-Control System

Light Frame

Patern Analyzer

Basically, the idea is to have both Quick and RAC attack the same target, hopefully a low agility one, and activate the blinded pilot card. A Score to Settle generates the so needed critical hits and if the enemy return fire, he may trigger Quickdraw.

Advice and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

A lot of people think RAC-Lo is a massive NPE and you may find it difficult to get some help. He isnt that hard to fly, dont land on rocks or debris and youre golden. The only thing that people differ on is the ace component. You will die to swarms and 4+ ship builds, Chewie/Leebo will be making a resurgence, or if not that stresshogs will shut you down.

If Kylo read, whenever you are dealt a face up card, deal the card thats on IWSYTDS instead, it would be a lot better.

ATM Kylo is a stinking pile of horse dung and I am looking forward to his nerf, he doesnt require a lot of imagination to use and is fairly boring to play with or against. He is low floor and even lower ceiling, if that could be possible.

Wow... I was not aware of Kylo Rens nefarious reputation. Thanks for your help.

I forgot to add that whilst A Score to Settle is a good card it is only good against 1 ship. RAC has his ability at Rng 1-2, most people use Darth with ATC for a guaranteed crit every time, as long as it isn't evaded. You could go with Backdraft possibly too.

I know my reply came off as snarky/****ty, I semi apologise for that. I have played against him a lot lately and he is as boring AF to play against, it has sullied my X Wing experience of late.

Happy Gaming!!!

As i uderstand, dengaroo or paratani (or any other pre-nerf Manaroo form) was super exciting to play against?

What don't more people suggesting adding Vader with ATC? Seems like that auto-crit would help proc ISYTDS.

Vader crossed my mind, but this dial is limited that I opted for a more aggressive posture using Quickdraw.

In my experience there is usually a primary target for ASTS and if both RAC and Quickdraw attack the same target, the possibility of getting the critical hits needed is very high.

From the start FFG clearly said the card was meant to work the way it is. The wording was intentional. It is a frustrating card to play against but so are Slaming Sabine K bombers, post FAQ Zuccuss crewed ships, unattackable rebel Tie, stressbot, etc. Doesnt mean that it's OP. There wasnt much of him in major tournaments since its release. In fact most post FAQ major events dont have many Imperials surviving the swiss rounds.

IMO the card is perfectly balanced. Its not garantee to trigger every time you attack. You do need an unblocked crit. On top of that you need to be able to take an action and you are spending it on the ability, meaning unmodded attack. Also as the game advance it loose it's usefulness because: 1) there are only 4 useful pilot crit cards 2) each time one of your ship is dealt a damage card there is a chance that one pilot crit is removed from the deck.

I went up against a similar list this week. I had 3 HM bombers & a striker.

SF downed on turn 3, RAC gone in another turn or two. Ordinance will be your foil.

how about marksmanship youngster and 2 academies as a pair?

Rac,Kylo,inspiring recruit,dauntless

yougster,marksmanship

academy

academy

leaves 6 points extra to tool rac or bump the tie ps to taste

People tend to hate things that are powerful in the game. It's just how it is. But remember when you are using kylo you aren't boosting, and a boostless deci is a dead deci. And a dead deci means no kylo.
