What [Ghost] is best in life?

By AngryAlbatross, in X-Wing

The ghost fenn combo is undoubtably a strong meta archetype these days.

  • Synced Kannan Ezra Maul (SKEM) seems best for countering other ghost fenns and low agility stuff
  • TLT Lothal Ezra Maul (TLEM) seems best for killing everything except aces.
    • Sensor Jammer is a must on this build as well
  • TLT Kannan Rey Recon (TKRR) lasts longer than other ghosts, but lacks the damage output of TLEM (especially the primary damage output)
    • Accuracy corrector or Sensor Jammer variant's have been seen

Engine upgrade seems to be a common denominator on these builds as well.

Which is the best all around one and why?

I've only played against the TLT Kannan (Jyn and Rey) and the TLT Lothal, I'm yet to lose them but the MaulZra Lothal definitely seems stronger, the Kannan wants to joust, but a lot of things out there can outjoust him, MaulZra just runs and consistently hurts you, which is less of a game and seems to be far more of an NPE

TLEM is the best and can kill any ace except sometimes Soontir.

TKRJ is probably my """favorite""" because Jyn and Rey are fun characters and do fun stuff in the game. And the crazy amounts of damage mitigation are super annoying, and four attacks that roll at least two hits every time are hard for anything to dodge consistently, so it will eventually wear the enemy down.

(And usually Soontir.) Yes. This is the only one I'm genuinely afraid of, and it's the one I built to kill at NorCal Regional.

I guess the one advantage of the TLEM build is all the ways it can deal damage. It can shoot the primary accurately to overwhelm or it can TLT to death. It doesn't seem like it has the staying power of the kannan builds tho if Fenn goes down.

I agree, the trick with MaulZra builds is to kill Fenn hard and fast, once he goes down the game becomes a lot more playable

That's not the line! Bad meme!

I'm telling Crom on you!

Crom doesn’t give a **** about anyone and is more likely to destroy the one calling on him for help or somethig stupid.

Crom cares about what's best in life, and people falling over and landing at your feet doesn't make his list.

If Crom were interested in banana peels and roller skates, Crom would let us know!

This is why I chose this archtype to try out. I just picked up a Kanan alt-art, and decided to try the new meta hotness. It's ridiculous how much damage just disappears.

I'm pretty sure Crom isn't a fan of turrets.

I feel I've never told you
the story of the ghost
that I once knew and talked to
of whom I'd never boast

But this was my big secret
how I get ahead
and never have to worry
I'd call him instead

His answer came in actions
He never spoke a word
Or maybe I lay down the phone
before he could be heard

I somehow feel forsaken
Like he had closed the door
I guess I just stopped needing him
as much as once before

But maybe he's still with me
the latch was left unhooked
He's waiting in the wind and rain
I simply haven't looked

The only proper ghost is a dead ghost

I am pretty sure Crom would fly the Ghost

I'm just trying to iron out the kinks in my unlicensed nuclear reactor.

Well, I think that goes without saying. I mean, what even is a living Ghost?

To watch Nerf Herder squirm when a new FAQ comes out and none of the cards they been crying about gets errata.

You cannot kill that which is already dead.

What is Dead May Never Die!

Kanan's damage output with Accuracy Corrector is just fine, and actually has many subtle advantages, for example being untouchable by Sensor Jammer, immune to Weapons Malfunction crit, and denying the 3rd die from Lightweight Frame. If you take Jan Ors over Rey, he can protect Fenn much better (double focus, evade on Fenn) and after Fenn dies protects himself much better (focus+evade for 2 dmg mitigation even against 1 attack). Kanan's damage mitigation also isn't completely nerfed by Expertise, so it's harder to hard counter him like the Lothal Rebel version.

Kanan has a weakness however which is that his range 1 attacks (when using acc corrector + TLT) are much weaker than Maul+Ezra, so his PS11 boost shenanigans aren't as devastating.

Lohtal/Kanan + RecSpec + Rey + TLT is usually sporting FCS, not AccCorrector or Jammer.
