Ahsoka and Sabine's TIE tricks and tips

By Clutterbuck, in X-Wing

Reference the Rebel TIE in Nathan Eide's list at Hoth: Ahsoka Tano w/ Veteran Instincts, Captured TIE, Sabine's Masterpiece, Scavenger Crane, Sabine Wren, and Seismic Charge.

I get some of the tricks baked into the build: If you are teamed with Biggs, Ahsoka can take a shot and then when Biggs dies, get the Captured TIE mod back with the Crane; doing bomb tricks, multiple times with the Crane if possible. Stuff like that.

I also get the share your action, especially if you are able to feed Corran a boost or Barrel Roll at PS infinity, and then he can Push the Limit off of that.

Are there any tips and tricks I am missing? Also, how does one fly the Rebel TIE (both within Nathan's list and outside of it)?

This just looks like an incredibly fun little 26 point threat.

I've recently flown a similar build with cluster mines instead, but with two warden K.wings. basically a build some people get upset about because of how Sabine works, but I had a lot of fun flying it .. one had plasma torps and cluster mines, the other Conner nets and homing missiles. Depending on the size of the ships you are facing, one K.wing flies in close and the other stays close to Sabine to get a free action.

It is a fun combo to fly ..

The post movement action is really good... in so many circumstances.

She can be at just getting in people's way

As well as bombs slicer tools can be good as they don't count as an "attack" either

Given her relative freedom of movement Cluster mines would be very good. You could hopefully place them so one detonates immediately and the next turn they have to fly through the others (so double Sabine damage too).

I think the basic 19 point version adds a lot to a number of lists... of course if you have points you can do more tricks. Like adding bombs, slicer tools etc.

There are a number of other crew options that can be good depending on your list. Generally crew that adds action economy to other ships : i.e. Operations specialist, or something like inspiring recruit if your other ships get really stressed.

I faced Ahsoka with EMP. She used her ability to barrel roll into Soontirs range 1, then fired off EMP. Ugh, Soontir now stressed and ion'd. Another nasty weapon to keep Soonts off the mat!

This is what the game really needs right now, there is waaaaaaaaaaaay to many Interceptors out there.

...and FINALLY! A great TIE/LN that the Imperials can add some interesting tools to their squads with.
