Imp 100pts, Worth a try or waste of time?

By tko540, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey folks, wanted your opinion. Do you think this list is worth a try?

Imperial (100)

Countess Ryad (35) - TIE Defender
Push The Limit (3), TIE/x7 (-2)

Carnor Jax (34) - TIE Interceptor
Push The Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2), Hull Upgrade (3)

The Inquisitor (31) - TIE Adv. Prototype
Push The Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

Swap Jax out for Turr Phennir, same build except for Hull Upgrade (use those points to put Twin Ion Engine MkII on Ryad, it'll really open her dial). Turr will save you...2 points? I think. Give him a Targeting Computer, and swap PTL for Outmaneuver. Fly smart.

Lose PTL on Inqy. Maybe give him Predator?

My 2ยข.

What you've got here are arc dodgers and token stackers however they seem to hover around the lower PS tier, so itll need some good flying. Hull upgrade is questionable but there's not much else that can be put on other than switching Carnor for Soontir. If you plan to take this against the current meta then best of luck to you, the inquisitor and countess seem to be holding their own however Miranda bombs and torp boats eat up tie interceptors. Keep Carnor if you want but at least consider QuickDraw or Backdraft. For builds on the aces check out some older imperial aces lists, they had the ace downpat back then (one FAQ ago). Hope this helped.

I'd go Targeting Computer on Jax. Then, if you have it, Twin Ion Engine Mk. II on Ryad. The Inquisitor is perfect! This isn't a meta list, but has strong ships.

I hate the current meta, and have been trying to force my Interceptor Aces and Swarm Leader list for awhile. Looking at QuickDraw though.

I flew this last week at club and I know I'm out of practice but Carnor really didn't add to the battle

I swapped him out for Backdraft and was able to beat a double k wing and Asoka. The 3 seem to work very well together
