Kylo and the meta? sounds like a bad rock band...

By kujoe1988, in X-Wing

Just wanted to throw this out to the community. Kylo is a beat, he eats rebels for breakfast. I am wondering what list or ships in general do well against him? Can rebels bring him down? are the other factions better against him?

Also what does the meta look like in your area... I am curious to see how much it differs from place to please.

Pound him into the dust with A score to settle, Luke Skywalker, C3po EU on Chewie.

For extra insult, run Vi PoePS8->PS10 with R2d2 regen, autothrusters and advanced optics. Watch Kylo cry like a baby.

kylo has the same issue all arc dodgers aces do.

higher ps, bombs, tlt, blocking and stress.

He's may become the miranda of imps, but that doesn't mean he's anywhere near as good or broken in any way.

I wouldn't mind except everyone in my club is running him PS11

Yes, sorta (6 Hull), autothrusters, AdvS, and Primed Thrusters.

proton turns that 6 hull into 4 or less (depending on card luck) and we just got a shiny new stressbot to go with this wave which (although unlikely unless kylo is flown like a potato) if set up and flown right can negate primed in a turn.

Edit: i never said these were hard counters, but they are what will give kylo a rough time in comparison to whats out there.

Proton bombs are hot garbage.

and yet they appear to be the goto (along with the generator) on the resistance bomber with silos..........

That’s kinda like saying Mangler is the go-to cannon on Imperial Kath. ?

Kylo can be beaten, but he doesn’t have hard counters in the same way Soontir did. Three stress is hard to get. A block is a GOOD thing for Kylo. TLTs do damage very, very slowly out of arc. Bombs can wear him down, but it’ll take a few good turns. Ion is my go-to because it shuts down AdvS, but then again, it also sucks against every other matchup in the game. So PS 11 it is!

So. Much. Value.

A good pilot with adv sensors and PTL shouldnt get touched by stress ezra.
