Omega Leader w/ Gunboats

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been enjoying this build this week. Maybe too many points on Vynder, but the HLC works really well. Linked battery has let me use focus for defense mods and still get decent damage from the cannons. I've used Karsabi to SLAM into R1/block to avoid TLT damage on Ghost and Nym builds. And Omega Leader is just a pest.

Maybe u shouldn't use wired if u are not gonna use it a lot. Although I like the list.

A well timed Crack Shot would let you get a critical hit from that cannon through, or you could just go Veteran Instincts instincts all the way. I am a big fan of Wired, but I'm not sure you'll see much use out of it in that build. Otherwise I agree with Quickdraw. I think the list would be a blast to play.

Probably a good call to go with a 7, 8, and 9 PS. I just like making use of the stress. Thanks, and yeah, it’s pretty fun so far.

I don't no if I'd go with VI on karsabi because there are not (in my experience) a lot of pilots with PS 6 or 7. Try it and tell us.

Oh I hadn't seen Vynder there how does he works because u cannot attack if he has a weapons disabled token?

The only time I would SLAM with Vynder is when I'm on the run. So, SLAM, Adv. SLAM to focus. Sit at Range three (hopefully) with 4 green dice and a focus to modify.

There’s a few popular pilots at 6-7. Norra, Dash, Kestal, Stele, Blackout, and Backdraft, Asajj, etc. I’d have to hope to win the bid at 100 and there’s not much wiggle room on this list unless I drop one of the linked batteries or stealth device. I may be better served with Wired or Crack Shot, but I’m going to shift to VI until it proves useless.

Gotcha. I don't have any new expansion yet, I have to wait till February but I'm alredy seeing how to build them.

Yes I now there are a lot PS 7 but usually they use VI. But that sounds right, try it and tell us.

Whenever I think about the Alphas, I just can't help but think that its better for them to at least have the option to shoot after SLAMing, ie packing a flechette canon or tractor beam. Karsabi is fine without, but I think Vynder would benefit from some other, SLAMable attack.
