Carolina Krayts is the best X-Wing podcast

By SaltMaster 5000, in X-Wing

It's not that easy. Are you asking who is good as an ace, or generally what tier these pilots are? Because I see e.g. Boba/Fenn/Teroch as better than B-tier, but they are at best a B-tier ace imo.
And it strikes me as interesting that the best aces are those who can afford it to joust while acing, i.e. those who can be the least ace among those who are ace are the best ace. Haha

S-Tier: Anakin, Obi Wan, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Sun Fac

A-Tier: Guri , Grand Inquisitor, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Echo, Soontir, Whisper

B-Tier: Han Solo – Rebel, Boba, Fenn Rau, Old Teroch, Lulo, Duchess, Poe, Nien

C-Tier: Luke Skywalker, Ello, Ric Olie, Rey

Don't know: Sunny, Rexler Brath, Corran, Blackout, Berwer Kret, Maarek, Maul, Quickdraw, Redline, Dash, Han Solo - Resistance, Ryad

Boba who?

Your the first person that got it. I posted the list to be ranked, I didnt post my ranking. Thank you.

Sure! Also, I left out anyone who isn't actually an Ace, and added one who is.

So this is what we're going to do? Include Guri in every scum list?

Even without AS, 58 is an absolute steal for her.

I stand by the fact that Dash is an ace.

Dash is far too blunt an instrument to be an ace.

Because saving 5-10 points by not bothering with the i6 and just giving one/both of the i5s Sense is better value for money.

Depends though. Only against higher i or same with a higher bid. Otherwise you're better off with the higher i for yourself

If Sense Plo or Sense Obi are not facing A then they themselves have A.

Edited by Hiemfire

The context was the question of taking or not taking Anakin instead of a lower i5 ship with sense.

i5 with sense:

- better against i5 with less bid (sense was wasted, might as well take Ani)

- better against i5 with higher bis (sense was useful, might as well take Ani)

- better against i6 (sense was useful, might not as well take Ani b/c no bid)

- better against i1-4 (sense was wasted, might as well take Ani))

That was my point.

edit: and just in case: of course lists are a mix and the value depends on individual games. And of course assuming Ani = i5+sense, which is not always the case

I didn't know I was going to war today, but off to war we go.

Is this what conscription feels like?

Resist your bias for Resistance.

Er... how does one do that?

If you figure that out, please let me know. I've been swimming upstream since they came out.

By the way, the Snap Rose Finn 2xBSE i1 is a blast!

we still know what being at the bottom of the list means. Also, "composure afterburners" is just a roundabout force and we all know it.

Oh yea he would absolutely be last if I was actually ranking them. Also, yes the Force is everywhere. Remain vigilant.

She's also isn't limited to 2 uses per game and has access to a nice ability when she's got Fifth riding with.

I have this recurring problem where I don’t actually get as much value out of the highest-I because I get blocked to death. How can I resolve this?

(Like seriously: I can kill with I 3-4, and very occasionally 5. 6 is just a waste though, because block city. But I know this is more of a me problem than a universal one.)

You can just bring Chopper. Get blocked twice and still take 2 evades. Oh and you probably have 3 force.

Increase the bias voltage until you're in a band gap.
