Omega leader

By Whippoorwills, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Omega leader with "A score to settle" is that a good combination? IF OL have someone locked with the condition, they can't change an eye to crit back on OL.

Good or Bad idea? I know juke is better but if I want to play her cheap?

I would say this is the best build of you wanna go budget for OL

Not a bad idea. Only flaws would be Countermeasures, Black One title, or a higher PS moving into range after your move. Outside of that, it's a good way to give OL some offensive firepower at a cheaper price. I'm not sure how those 2 points will be better spent elsewhere though. What did you have in mind?

I was toying around with something like this:


Unnamed Squadron (99)
Kylo Ren (TIE Silencer) — TIE Silencer 35
Push the Limit 3
Advanced Sensors 3
Primed Thrusters 1
Autothrusters 2
First Order Vanguard 2
Ship Total: 46

"Deathrain" — TIE Punisher 26
Trajectory Simulator 1
Unguided Rockets 2
Bomblet Generator 3
Ship Total: 32

"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 21
A Score to Settle 0
Ship Total: 21

Orgininally OL was an other ship and Deathrain had LWF, but I thought it would be fun to squeeze OL into the mix.

It is, in fact, not as Strong as Juke/Comm Relay, but on a budget, and when paired with 2 ships as dangerous as Kylo and Deathrain, I think it could work quite well. All three are very potent, making target priority hard af. I like it.

Yeah, I don't see any 2-point wiggle room on this build. Sounds pretty cool as long as you can maintain the TL.
