Shut down (100)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

Carnor Jax (35) - TIE Interceptor
Push The Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2), Shield Upgrade (4)

"Countdown" (23) - TIE Striker
Adaptive Ailerons (0), Hull Upgrade (3)

Dark Curse (16) - TIE Fighter

Ok so obviously there is a theme here. The idea is that no matter who the opponent ends up trying to shoot, their modification on dice is going to do nothing. Omega blocks modifications, Carnor blocks focus/evade tokens, Dark Curse blocks focus tokens and rerolls, and countdown says screw you, I'll take one damage.

Perhaps there is is too much of the same thing going on in this list, but it's so much fun to fly and your opponent will feel so salty. Give it a try for yourself and see!

Funny, I play the exact same squad except with Soontir instead of Carnor and Lightweight frame on Countdown.

Soontir is much better in the defense mode than Carnor (range 1 Carnor is not always easy)

I'm going for theme here, and Carnor is good with the token heavy meta right now. Hull upgrade has always come in handy for me on Countdown, some people argue stealth or LWF, but I still prefer hull upgrade.

If you didn't have the original core set with Dark Curse.....What would supliment with???

Well 16 points? First thought would be Wampa... but I guess just putting in a regular academy pilot and giving Omega Leader stealth device would work too.

If you're looking for non-tie fighter options then worst case scenario I guess you could get rid of Countdown, put in Soontir and give OL stealth. But I feel like that takes away from the theme and swarming ability of the list.

Buy the card online. Because if you take another pilot here the squad makes no sense. You want to have the "non-modifier pilots" here for maximal troll effect

An academy can still fill the theme, because it is a blocker, denying tokens and actions. Especially against Kbombers

Although accurate (and why I suggested it in lue of dark curse) the theme is more of a modification "shut down" when targeting these ships

That one advanced pilot that shuts down R1 bonuses might be an interesting addition if you swap out for something
