ISYTDS theme list

By f0rbiddenc00kie, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The theme of this list is to have Kylo Ren (either his pilot or crew card with "Starkiller Base Pilot") constantly apply ISYTDS, then have consistent enough crit to always trigger it. List #1 uses a Starkiller Base Pilot with Kylo Ren crew to apply ISYTDS on the enemy ship of my choice. It's less efficient than list #2, but it's more consistent in applying the effect. Anything underlined is mandatory.

VERSION #1: 100 points

Starkiller Base Pilot (40)
Upsilon-class Shuttle (30) , Fire-Control System (2), Kylo Ren (3) , Rebel Captive (3), Pattern Analyzer (2)

“Omega Leader” (26)
TIE/fo Fighter (21) , Comm Relay (3) , Juke (2)

Darth Vader (34)
TIE Advanced (29) , TIE/x1 (0) , Adaptability (0), Engine Upgrade (4) , Advanced Targeting Computer (1)


List #2 uses Kylo Ren pilot to apply ISYTDS. The big advantage this list has over #1 is higher Upsilon pilot skill, an extra EPT, and having my actions freed up since it's not tied to using the Kylo Ren crew every turn. This is all for a measly 1pt increase. If left alone he will ideally Coordinate whenever possible to ensure that Vader and OL always have their Target Locks applied or to help keep them alive. This version also has the upside of all potentially being PS8 for an extremely versatile Coordinate action that can be used before or after any of my aces move. This gives my list an extremely high amount of unpredictability. Despite that, I have no **** clue how to kit out Kylo Ren here. The "all being PS8" is optional but a little too tempting with Coordinate to overlook.

VERSION #2: 98 points

“Omega Leader” (26)
TIE/fo Fighter (21) , Comm Relay (3) , Juke (2)

Darth Vader (34)
TIE Advanced (29) , TIE/x1 (0) , Adaptability (0), Engine Upgrade (4) , Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Kylo Ren (38)
Upsilon-class Shuttle (34) , Veteran Instincts (1), Collision Detector (0), Rebel Captive (3)

Any help finalizing my list would be appreciated!

You want to show them the dark side?

I enjoy Sabaac, Backdraft and Riding Dirty Kylo. Good clean fun, and a blast to fly.

Or, you can fly the list that'll get you booted from friend groups:

TIE Advanced: · Lieutenant Colzet (23)
TIE/x1 (0)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)
TIE Advanced: · Darth Vader (29)
Juke (2)
TIE/x1 (0)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)
TIE Phantom: · "Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire Control System (2)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
· Kylo Ren (3)
-- TOTAL ------- 98/100p. --

Use Whisper to drop ISYTDS on prime target. Use Vader and Colzet to force through the Blinded Pilot. Use Colzet to flip the Blinded Pilot face up at the beginning of the end phase.

Rinse and repeat, keep that ship permanently out of the fight until Colzet dies. Once Whisper behind to get his FCS going, he can keep using the Kylo action, and rely on his granted Focus for defense, and then just go go town. Have him follow the easiest ship to hit and hand out Coniditon cards to Vader's target. Keep Colzet on your Blinded foe, and you'll have a grand old time taking them out.

Nice idea. As long as you're not attacking the blinded opponent, there's only the one damage card, so Colzet can't fail to pick the right one.

As long as you're facing 2 ships with 'normal' weapons, this should make a right mess of them - your weakness will be non-attack threats; watching Colzet going

"you can't attack! hahahaha.....what's that glowing thing that just fell off the back of your..." BWAMMMMMMM!!!

will be annoying - so I'd recommend using Vader and Whisper to take out the bomber whilst Colzet keeps the other guy pinned in place.
