Countess ryad

By Darth_Gnaffa, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi, i m trying to match a list with countess ryad...I like so much his pilot skill but i don t know wich other ships or upgrade can work with...suggestion??

[Boba Fett(39), Heavy Laser Cannon(7), Tail Gunner(2), Expertise(4)]

[Countess Ryad(34), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II(1), TIE/x7(-2)]

--------------

[Darth Vader(29), Squad Leader(2), Engine Upgrade(4), Advanced Targeting Computer(5), TIE/x1(0)]

[Countess Ryad(34), Veteran Instincts(1), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II(1), TIE/x7(-2)]

[Scimitar Squadron Pilot(16), Extra Munitions(2), Guidance Chips(0)]

Ryad is pretty much the best x7 Defender pilot out there. All her straights are K-turns, all her straights are also green to remove stress. I think the best Elite upgrades are the ones that capitalizes on these, so consider either Push the Limit (taking 2 actions is always lovely) or Outmaneouver (K-turning behind enemies made even more punishing) or Intensity (all the barrel rolls make you more unpredictable). My friend loves flying 2 Defenders in this list:

Countess Ryad (34)
Push the Limit (3)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Colonel Vessery (35)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Tractor Beam (1)
TIE/D (0)

"Omega Leader" (21)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)

Total: 99

The second list is a bit pointless on the bomber. Extra munitions with nothing to fire is wasting points. Also you have several points left to build with. Your current Vader/Ryad loadout is only 70 points.

additionally, what Roll do you see Ryad doing? That’s going to determine her wingmen honestly. I’d offer suggestions but more information on how you want to use her would be helpful.As well as an idea of what you have to work with.

Your second list has potential. I would however tweek it a little like below and fly Vader with PS 11, Ryad with Juke and of cause put misslies or torps on the bomber changing the pilot to Tomax Bren for even more punch. The idea is that Ryad and Bren jousts the enemy, while Vader flies solo up the side and hits the enemy from the side or rear. You should be able to make this build with your current expansions if you got "Juke" and the missiles or torps.

Darth Vader(29), Veteran Instincts(1), Engine Upgrade(4), Advanced Targeting Computer(5), TIE/x1(0) 35 points

Countess Ryad(34), Juke (2), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II(1), TIE/x7(-2) 35 points

Tomax Bren(24), Crack Shot(1), Extra Munitions(2), Plasma Tropedoes(3) OR Cruise Missiles(3), Guidance Chips(0) 30 points

Alternatively you could make it like this:

Darth Vader(29), Veteran Instincts(1), Engine Upgrade(4), Advanced Targeting Computer(5), TIE/x1(0), Cruise Missiles(3) OR Proton Rockets(3) 38 points

Countess Ryad(34), Juke (2), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II(1), TIE/x7(-2) 35 points

Tomax Bren(24), Crack Shot(1), Lightweight Frame(2) 27 points

I’ve been flying Vess and Ryad for a while have a ton of different variations this is my go too

Bread (100)

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

•Colonel Vessery (37) - TIE Defender
Tractor Beam (1), TIE/D (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

•Countess Ryad (37) - TIE Defender
Expertise (4), TIE/x7 (-2), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

it’s mainly focused around the target locks of Vess but I like expertise Ryad for defensive focus or t-lock if needed for Vess.

Thanks all...I didn t realize that crack shot on bren is infinite it s really good thing... I ll try this list soon

No worries! How do do find Cromax(tm) without ordnance? I’ve never run him light as that 2 Attack just seems underwhelming. I run him with Unguided Rockets just to give him that extra ooomph but keep him cheap.

If I would run a more aggressive Tomax. I will run it like this:

Tomax Bren(24), Crack Shot(1), Unguided Rockets(2), Guidance Chips(0) 27 points

Guidance Chips can be used on unguided rockets???

I dont think so. Dice can only be modified by focus, in usual way

So the solution is

Tomax Bren(24), Crack Shot(1), Unguided Rockets(2), Lightweight Frame(2)
