Intensity Intensifies! (Wave 11 Imperial)

By Sonikgav, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So probably not optimised but this is me going all out with some of the Imperial Ships i think will benefit from Intensity which i will probably then tweak (Aggressor being a TLT boat is too easy)

Lieutenant Kestal (22)
Intensity (2)
Ion Turret (5)
Lightweight Frame (2)

Valen Rudor (22)
Intensity (2)
Proton Rockets (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)

Colonel Vessery (35)
Intensity (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Total: 100

So Kestal has the 360 turret and a Barrel Roll a turn gets her either Focus or Evade. She doesnt mind overshooting and getting out of Arc so if she cant reset Intensity this turn, she can next.

Valen Locks every turn and gets an Evade, then if anyone ends up firing at him he's got his 3 Dice and the Evade token to defend, then gets to Boost/Roll which can trigger Intensity. If there could be more incoming load up with another token (and generate the focus action once the last shot comes in to regen Intensity), if not then dont waste it.

Vessery gets his entire action bar for 0 Stress. Speed 3, Evade Token, Barrel Roll/Boost for Focus and unload using his ability on whatever Valen has locked. If the incoming fire is ineffective then either token can be used to reset.

You have to get a TL to USE synced turret at all...

Guess I should read more closely lol. That seems a really redundant effect then tbh. May reconsider the Turret. May even go Ion.

Honestly, the best Imperial Ship for Intensity is the TIE/SF.

If I were to stick Intensity on Vessery, I would seriously consider the TIE/D title. With the X-7 title, it becomes a bit too redundant, although it does let you slow your speed and still possibly get a focus/evade (if you barrel roll). Not terrible, but even so, its not something you're going to use frequently...

Not sure about that.

On an X-7 after the 3 move you get an Evade action. Vessery doesn't need to use his target lock so your only option is roll or evade. Why not both?

Don't forget the IG-2000 title on Kestal. Yeah, I know it won't actually do anything without another IG-2000 title in the list, but it's for theme, like running Slave-1 on Boba whether you need it or not.
