Four TIE List

By General_Chaos, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am fairly new to the game and I am totally digging the TIE S/F and "Omega Leader". I have been playing a list with "Quickdraw", "Omega Leader" and Col. Vessery with some success, but wanted to change it up. I got a store tournament coming up in a month, so I need to practice one list for a couple weeks to get decent with it. Here's what I came up with.

"Backdraft" (27)
Trick Shot (0)
Fire-Control System (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Special Ops Training (0)

"Omega Leader" (21)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)

"Pure Sabacc" (22)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Adaptive Ailerons (0)

"Mauler Mithel" (17)
Crack Shot (1)

Total: 100

In general, I love the potential. My only nit-pick would be the very different dials and maneuverability may make it difficult to line up good engagements. Below is a similar concept I had, but with all FO's

FO studs (100)

"Omega Leader" (29) - TIE/FO Fighter

Juke (2), Comm Relay (3), Stealth Device (3)

"Omega Ace" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter

Push The Limit (3), Stealth Device (3)

"Zeta Leader" (24) - TIE/FO Fighter

Wired (1), Stealth Device (3)

"Epsilon Leader" (21) - TIE/FO Fighter

How about switching Mauller for Scourge? Seems likely he will de shooting at a damaged target.

Total agree with this! But, there isn't a lot of Epic game play in my area. I am not sure I want to buy the Assault Carrier for just two pilots. Scourge and Wampa are the only good cards in that box, in my opinion.

I like the list. Some personal changes I would make are switch Trick shot for Adaptability on Back Draft. I would drop LW frame on Sabacc and upgrade Mauler to Zeta Leader with Adaptablity. 4 ps 8s. and make sure you fly sabacc in front!

Good Luck

I have been debating putting Adaptability on "Backdraft". I like the idea of putting "Zeta Leader" in. But losing Lightweight Frame is big. 2 Agility on a 4 hull ship that gets an extra dice for having 1 or fewer damage... not sure I'd want to do that. Maybe swap out "Pure Sabacc" for something else...

This is rather similar to a list i devised quite some time ago "The Deadly 7s"

I used Backdraft, Omega Ace, Mithel, and Scourge. All PS7, all equally deadly. The idea was confuse my opponent with target priority since Ace could auto-crit your face via PTL (comm relay made him just tanky enough to be a problem to pop), the TIE twins could EASY sneak range1 on you and throw 8 dice in your face (two attacks, assuming Scourge's ability can proc and it usually does), and Backdraft is the deadliest/hardest to catch, but also essentially immune to 1shotting due to the raw HP. Pretty much everyone i played took a comically long time to decide who they wanted to go for.

Your list is a little more obvious on who should die in a fire first (omega leader by default, because letting him go 1on1 is a bad idea, then Sabaac because that ability hurts) but the others hit hard enough to capitalize on your opponent gunning for OL. Cant really suggest anything other than swapping ships around, but you already said you dont have Scourge.

If you put Adapt on Backdraft then he'll match OL's PS, allowing you to freely fire/move one before the other on a whim. Which was another reason i had all PS7 in my similar list lol

You like my scheming lists dont you lol

Comm Relay (3)

Backdraft 34pts
Outmaneuver (3)

Go on, figure out who to go for first without getting ravaged by the others. The SF with his "bad" agility? The TIE/FO because autocrits suck? Or the two TIE Fighters because theyre the easiest to pop?
