Your Kylo lists?

By Muppetfluffer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So Ive been foolin around with Kylo a bit.

RageVader, Rexpertise and Yorr has been quite successfull.

Now im going to try something else (that someone propably tried already).

so please post your Kylo list and ideas :)

"Backdraft" (31) - TIE/SF Fighter
Adaptability (0), Fire Control System (2), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Darth Vader (31) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

"Echo" (38) - TIE Phantom
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Kylo Ren (3), Lightweight Frame (2)

This one right here is very fun I've been playing it lately.

Every day I'm Kyloing (99)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (24) - TIE Bomber
TIE Shuttle (0), Lightweight Frame (2), Kylo Ren (3), Rebel Captive (3)

"Whisper" (41) - TIE Phantom
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Agent Kallus (2), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Darth Vader (34) - TIE Advanced
Trick Shot (0), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

I use:

RAC VI, Gunner, Kylo, Hotshot Co-pilot, Dauntless, Engine Upgrade.

Quickdraw A Score to Settle, FCS, LWF, Pattern Analyzer, Title.

I play

Quickdraw , Expertice , LWF ,FCS, PA , Titel ( Hardhitting)

Vader , Lone wolf, Proton rockets, Titel, EU and adv comp (allso hardhitting, if hes is the last ship, LW helps allot )

Scimitar squadron Pilot , Tie Shuttel, and kylo ren, LWF ( My new favorite , Flying it straight into the frey, and suppringsligy good with LWF , and ofc Kylo)

A fun list , i played vs my old nemisis , how flys scum, Bosk / ketsu, And i melted him. Seeing his face when he couldent shoot boosk in the joust , 2 times in a ro was beautifull!

I find that dedicating a bomber for Kylo is stealing to much points for nothing.

So this is what im looking at now, still Its almost like 2 ships vs opponent.

Major Rhymer (35) - TIE Bomber
Snap Shot (2), TIE Shuttle (0), Lightweight Frame (2), Tactician (2), Kylo Ren (3)

Darth Vader (33) - TIE Advanced
Lone Wolf (2), TIE/x1 (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

"Backdraft" (32) - TIE/SF Fighter
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

A very strong toolboxish list I've had a few tries with is the below. Vader is used only when needed (normally against aces). Wampa is a blocker, a menace and all round good distraction, Stridan does extra actions and/or acts as the other half of the pincer with Oicunn:

VT-49 Decimator: · Captain Oicunn (42)
Predator (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
· Darth Vader (3)


TIE Fighter: · "Wampa" (14)


Upsilon-class Shuttle: · Major Stridan (32)
Collision Detector (0)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

Also been having a lot of success with lists like the below. Lots of strong self-sufficient ships there.

TIE Bomber: · Tomax Bren (24)
Crack Shot (1)
Extra Munitions (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
Lightweight Frame (2)


TIE/sf Fighter: · "Backdraft" (27)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
Fire Control System (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Special Ops Training (0)
Primed Thrusters (1)


Upsilon-class Shuttle: · Major Stridan (32)
Collision Detector (0)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

Happy to see a few lists which Phantom Kylo and Vader :-)

I have one that it's quite unique...it makes the Upsilon to be almost like a stationary turret.

“Omega Leader” (29)
TIE/fo Fighter (21), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2), Stealth Device (3)

Kylo Ren (47)
Upsilon-class Shuttle (34), Push the Limit (3), Fire-Control System (2), Recon Specialist (3), Inspiring Recruit (1), Weapons Guidance (2), Pattern Analyzer (2)

“Epsilon Leader” (24)
TIE/fo Fighter (19), Pattern Analyzer (2), Stealth Device (3)

Basically you set up in a corner with the Upsilon looking towards the center of the map, put Epsilon Leader at the back of it. Then, you do a "0" movement, focus and PTL to coordinate (thanks to Pattern Analyzer), then recieve two stress. Bump with Epsilon Leader. Start of combat, remove one stress from Kylo thanks to Epsilon Leader and another stress with Recruit. Shoot 4 dice, and you will likely have one blank, change that with Weapons and if not, well, with the TL from FCS, end of round, repeat :D .

I usually drop the Stealh Device in OL to put the title and Tactical Jammer on the Upsilon if the enemy has huge heavy power to kill Epsilon in one hit.

It's a fun list. People get confuse cause you are just sitting there in the corner...waiting for them to come, to fly straigth towards that 4 dice turret hahaha

This is a really cool fun list. I'd be tempted to take Epsilon Leader naked and hide him behind the shuttle with tactical jammer on, and take a different, strong wingman, with the remaining 34 points.

Grateful for thoughts on this:

I suppose you'd run Inquisitor as a flanker, the enemy either goes for him and you shoot them all from behind, or they ignore him and he snipes away from the side/back.

Kylo is something that a lot of ships don't actually want to shoot I've found. If he ends up being the last ship standing he has a much better chance of keeping things in arc with the barrel roll. I love the Upsilon but I've found it can get taken out of the fight if enemies get behind it.

Backdraft is just a pretty strong ship,especially at PS9 with (usually 3 green Dice) for 31 points

Upsilon-class Shuttle: · Kylo Ren (34)
Expert Handling (2)
Collision Detector (0)
Pattern Analyzer (2)


TIE/sf Fighter: · "Backdraft" (27)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
Fire Control System (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Special Ops Training (0)


TIE Avanced Prototype: · The Inquisitor (25)
Push The Limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)
-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

Thoughts?

This is what I've been running

VT-49 Decimator: · Rear Admiral Chiraneau (46)
Push The Limit (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
· Kylo Ren (3)
· Emperor Palpatine (8)
TIE Defender: · Countess Ryad (34)
Push The Limit (3)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

So far it's 4-0. The ptl is nice to make sure that I can boost and kylo, Palo allows me to be certain that the critical will go through, and Ryad really helps to mess with target priority and is a hard hitter who can also benefit from the Palp crit or getting another evade.

I'm still earning my wings, but this is got soooooooo much power potential.
