List for upcoming store championship

By BadMotivator, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just got my 2nd Phantom, and I've been having some success with boSheck. So why not combine them?

100 points

PILOTS

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (20)
TIE Bomber (16), TIE Shuttle (0), Lightweight Frame (2), BoShek (2)

“Whisper” (40)
TIE Phantom (32), Intelligence Agent (1), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

“Echo” (40)
TIE Phantom (30), Navigator (3), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

One potential change is to swap Echo's FCS for Collision Detector. Gets me a 2 point bid, though I'm not sure if the extra firepower would just be better.

The Big issue is you have no bid.. and Phantoms need a bid. If you lose initiative you could lose one or both Phantoms without ever shooting.

So swap the FCS for collision detector on Echo?

Drop LWF from bomber for bid.

Maybe swap crew on phantoms. Whisper, at PS9, sees more of the field move to use navigator more efficiently and is the easier phantom to block, and Echo at lower PS, would really need intel if whipser gets taken out early from Fenn or Dengar, etc.

I am not a fan of Navigator, Rebel Captive and Agent Kallus seem better choices. So unless you have a very specific plan for Navigator maybe reconsider it.

I love navigator. It really helps with positioning on the Phantoms in my experience.

I liked it on Echo, mostly because with her pilot ability I like being able to really control her movements. Though I can see the point about swapping the crew. The one game I've had with this particular list Echo was the last ship alive. I was facing a Major Striden+Hux/Pure Sabaac/Dutchess list. Echo came back to kill all 3 of them. I did get lucky with the first salvo shooting with Echo at range 3 through a rock at dutchess leaving her on 1 hull, but the rest was a pretty even fought game.

Navigator actually isnt a bad meta call right now with range being SO important for survival. If moving after Fenn, adjusting just a tad to be range 2 instead of 1 or 3 is crucial. Or staying range 3 instead of 2 on asajj. Or getting that range 1 on Torp boats instead of being range 2. Navigator is not a bad choice at all.
