What to fly alongside 3 TLT Aggressors

By AT Leader, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I want to build a list with 3 TLT Aggressors and a Closer. Right now I am think Omega Leader. So that makes the list:

Triple TLT Aggressor + Lockdown (99)

•"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

Sienar Specialist (25) - TIE Aggressor
Twin Laser Turret (6), Lightweight Frame (2)

Sienar Specialist (25) - TIE Aggressor
Twin Laser Turret (6), Lightweight Frame (2)

Sienar Specialist (23) - TIE Aggressor
Twin Laser Turret (6)

Is Omega Leader the best option?

I want to keep as many Lightweight Frames on, but dropping all can get me to 31 available points for the closer.

What other 25-31pt closers are viable right now?

Sabacc?

Pure Sabacc, LWF, Title, Expertise if you want max damage. 28 pts.

Shadow Squad pilot w/ LWF and FCS.

For the points, OL is probably the best option. Next best would be Inqy. As far as closing a game. A 4th tlt aggressor could be just as useful long game., because it will be with the group shooting, where as your closer will likely be chased and you will want to keep him out of the fight until absolutely necessary.

For Omega Leader, it's worth considering keeping the LWF on all three Aggressors, and going with A Score To Settle instead of Juke. On the target you place the condition on, it'll do about as much damage as Juke if you don't spend a focus token to attack (that is, if you're barrel rolling or pulling reds for position, or using tokens for defense). I don't think it's better than Juke, but it's 2 points cheaper, and ASTS and LWF might add more in total to the list.

Not an expert in multiple turret lists but is it worth considerng ion turret on one of them? nym doesnt like ion much.

He likes TLTs even less. Especially when there are 4 of them.

You can't dismiss Captain Jonus! That's 12 rerolls!

Yeah, 3 TLT aggressors will destroy him on the second round of shooting, period. There is basically no way he avoids that many TLT shots with focus.

I like the idea but worry that I wouldn't have a 'closer'. Any recommendations on how to kit Captain Jonus?

Nym is one of the reasons that I started thinking about the list. Started at 4 identical Aggressors and just exploring alternatives.

Every game I've fielded my two TLT aggressors against Nym has resulted in them melting him down and having plenty of health to start blasting the other half of the list. It's an absolutely terrible matchup for him, he just can't do anything about TLTs besides try to damage race, and there's no way for him to win on his own (this applies to Y wings just as much).

The question is absolutely "what do I need the rest of my list to beat". The problem is that every major list using Nym has something else even nastier. Nym is a really good ship #2 to things that are already strong - if it was just Nym dominating TLTs would just be rampant to shut him down.

For 25 points, you can do LWF and Adrenaline Rush or Crack Shot.

For 24, Trick Shot and Swap 1 Aggressor to Omega Leader.

Looks like a job for Duchess + VI + title (24)

TLT against low agi turrets and Duchess against small base aces and Dash feels good, not my kind of jam, but powerful enough.

So your comments got me thinking about this:

Lockdown, Duchess & 2 Aggressor TLT (100)

•"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

•"Duchess" (24) - TIE Striker
Veteran Instincts (1), Adaptive Ailerons (0)

Sienar Specialist (25) - TIE Aggressor
Twin Laser Turret (6), Lightweight Frame (2)

Sienar Specialist (25) - TIE Aggressor
Twin Laser Turret (6), Lightweight Frame (2)

I would love to get LWF on Duchess, but is it worth dropping Juke off OL (replace with A Score to Settle) for it?

I can't speak for Omega Leader, but Lightweight Frame is a godsend on Duchess. Against stuff she can outmanoeuvre, she's fine, but even relatively light turret fire can shred her. The extra green goes a long way, provided you have tokens to support it.

I'd say you need 3 TLT and 1 ace to make the list work (in a 'current meta' tourney). That ace should excel against LW Dash and AT Fen as those are bad pairings for Agressors. Juke OL may be enough to deal with those but VI Duchess is much better at hunting them down imo.

LWF is a no brainer for two points but I've been making room for the kylo silencer and been testing Duchess with and without LWF. Jury is still out but losing LWF is not as bad as u may thing as she can take evade action, and with the title hide behind rocks to get extra green die or bump scary PWT while pointing her 3 ATT to another target.

Somebody take this archetype to a tourney and report back please, very curious about it's performance.

On paper I think I agree that the Triple TLT is better against the 'meta'.

I am leaning towards OL, but that might be because of familiarity with OL. I need to get Duchess on the table in order to decide which I like better. Maybe I will try the list above (OL+Duchess+2xTLT) as a way to get both on the board and get a feel for who to pair with the triples.

If Duchess is the choice my instincts say to run Duchess at 26 (VI+LWF+Title) and leave one Aggresor LWF-less. Would make the list 99 with a bid vs Nym/PS10.

Jonus/TIE Shuttle/Op Spec.

Makes those TLTs incredibly reliable.

I was scrolling looking for this; Jonus with those makes this list a pain; and if there trying to kill jonas all the better; by time he's dead the damage is done.

I do like the concept, but am concerned about those that still go for the Aggressors leaving out an endgame ship that Jonus can't hope to handle.
