a TIE Phantom, Interceptor, & FO.......WHAT?

By kyten44, in X-Wing Squad Lists

so with all of this MindLink stuff going on, here is my idea.....

It centers around Whisper...

Whisper 32

Veteran Instincts 1

Sensor Jammer 4

Advanced Cloackind Device 4

Hotshot Co-pilot 4

total 45

Carnor Jax 26

Adaptability 0

Autothrusters 2

total 28

Omega Leader 21

Juke 2

Comm Relay 3

total 26

all togther 99

The Idea is ...... Obvious. token denial with jax and hotco, Sensor Jammer.

Does it Hit Hard enough, survive long enough?

What to drop and or add to make it better?

No, it does not hit anywhere near hard enough.

Jax is too weak with Adaptability/VI. He really shines with push the limit (you don't need him to move last to get his ability working, you just need to get him in there mucking up your opponent's plans, but with a defensive token so he doesn't die).

Omega Leader is adding no benefit to this list. You already have token denial through Hot-shot Co-pilot + Jax. OL's ability adds nothing further, except after your other ships are gone, but despite what a lot of people think, OL is not actually a really good endgame ship. He is too low in points to win 1v1 endgame fights in tournaments (opponents can easily run down the clock and win on points) and he hits like a wet noodle, adding 'meh' firepower in the early game.

My recommendation is give Jax PTL so he doesn't die and drop the somewhat useless Omega Leader for a hard-hitting ship. There's lots of choices in the mid 20 point range: TIE/sf, pure sabaac, cheap bomber with a missile or torp, etc.

But the thing is you cannot hot shot when Carnor is in range 1

Yeah, I agree with everything you said. I just thought of the list while at work.

so

Whisper

VI, ACD, HC, SJ

Jax

PTL , AT,

then what?

Sabacc 24

Adaptibility, Lightweight Frame, Adaptive Ailerons

what else for 24 points? No Int bid?

So it is redundant. Redundntcy isn't always bad. Also helps Sensor Jammer from whoever Whisper didn't shoot
