Omega Ace list

By Sir13scott, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Omega... Ace? (99)

"Omega Ace" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Swarm Leader (3), Comm Relay (3)

"Quickdraw" (37) - TIE/SF Fighter
Draw Their Fire (1), Fire Control System (2), Targeting Synchronizer (3), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Omega Squadron Pilot (18) - TIE/FO Fighter
Crack Shot (1)

Omega Squadron Pilot (18) - TIE/FO Fighter
Crack Shot (1)

the idea idea is that you swarm leader, spend QuickDraw' target lock and your focus to throw 4 Crits

I would replace the two crack Omegas with 3 academy pilots to serve as blockers

Omega Ace? (100)

"Omega Ace" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Swarm Leader (3), Comm Relay (3)

"Quickdraw" (40) - TIE/SF Fighter
Expertise (4), Fire Control System (2), Targeting Synchronizer (3), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Epsilon Squadron Pilot (17) - TIE/FO Fighter
Pattern Analyzer (2)

Epsilon Squadron Pilot (17) - TIE/FO Fighter
Pattern Analyzer (2)

that ended up up being the final list. Flew it tonight to great success and tons of fun :)

That's a really cool idea. How did Omega Ace do?

Also agree with the previous poster, I'm that I'd drop the 2 FO's for 3 academies as you'll have better success blocking I think,and also more evades to pull for Swarm Leader.

Love that Quickdraw has DTF too. If they shoot Quickdraw, they're it shooting OA, and grt a revenge attack from QD. If they shoot OA, QD gets a revenge shot anyway and is left unmolested.

See above for the amended list I ended up flying. I upgraded QuickDraw to Expertise and took two PS1 FOs with pattern analyzer so they can sloop and evade or barrel roll to block. On the joust this list works very well. Unfortunately a couple of the games were against Asaj and he stressed QuickDraw shutting down Expertise which reduced my fire power and he had tug boats that just destroyed all my positioning. However I still won and it was effective. Omega Ace would swarm leader four dice and then spend his focus and quickdraw's target lock to make them all Crits. That was fun
