Quickdraw + Inquistor + Sabacc

By Boom Owl, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Guys....I think I found my forever list.

"Quickdraw" — TIE/sf Fighter 29
Veteran Instincts 1
Fire-Control System 2
Cruise Missiles 3
Advanced Optics 2
Lightweight Frame 2
Special Ops Training 0
Ship Total: 39
The Inquisitor — TIE Advanced Prototype 25
Push the Limit 3
Proton Rockets 3
Autothrusters 2
TIE/v1 1
Ship Total: 34
"Pure Sabacc" — TIE Striker 22
Veteran Instincts 1
Lightweight Frame 2
Adaptive Ailerons 0
Ship Total: 25

Maybe drop Sabacc to Adaptability and give QD a harpoon?

Beautiful, and probably super fun!

I'd prefer a Harpoon on QD because she lacks the 3turn. That would put you at 99.
And I'm not sure how useful the VI on Sabacc will be.

This Inquisitor is clearly intended to plink away forever, and just uses his missile if threatened in range 1. This approach is probably better if you want to play in a tournament as I'd expect that this reinforces a bit more defensive playstyle, which conserves MoV, which wins tournaments. Adding a second Harpoon would add more front loaded damage and tempt you to play more aggressively. Depends on what you want.

Anyway, I'd put Adaptability, Trickshot or ASTS on Sabacc to save that point.

I like the combos, but I would support switching to Harpoons and cheapening up Sabacc.

This looks like a super fun list. All great ships. I would get harpoons on Quickdraw, crack shot Sabacc and lose LWF. Can see this hitting the table this week!

This Variant comes in at a 98 bid. Also you get the Harpoons on the Inquisitor since he can pace himself slowly. Pure Sabaac is cool and all but I think Countdown is the Pilot that really shines. You can use him as a blocker or as bait.

Put it this way, if you're playing against this, are you going to shoot at Quickdraw and get double tapped? Are you going to shoot at The Inquisitor who will have focus/evade/autothrusters? Or are you going to shoot at Countdown who will cancel your attack with his ability?
