How many reapers?

By Blail Blerg, in X-Wing

Do you foresee any real need for a 2nd reaper? I think its possible that a good build exists, they seem to be multi-role attack + supporters.

2 is auto-buy. Epic, ya know.

The question is more than 2? ? ?

I think we'll see a few double Slicer Reapers out there for shutting down token stackers, and you only get one Slicer per Reaper.

nah, after buying a lot of ships, I've come to realize that double shuttles are usually not tier1 strong. No need to kid one-self.

just one. It ain't exactly a jousting monster. Ailerons helps compensate for its relatively unimpressive statline, but the more you stack it the harder it gets to ignore. If you're just looking for jam, ISB Slicers get you everything you need with just one Reaper



...oh fine, get 3

"Raspberry Vermeil" (26)
*VI (1)
*ISB Slicers (2)
*Kallus (2)

*Lightweight Frame (2)
*Ailereons (0)
[33]

Feroph (24)
*DTF (1)
*Captive (3)
*Krennic (5)
*Lightweight Frame (2)

*Ailereons (0)
[35)

Scarrif Base Pilot (22)
*Palp (8)

*Lightweight Frame (2)

*Ailereons (0)
[32]

it'll probably look badass

meh. I'd rather poke holes into someone with whisper so....

if you're using whisper, you're only going to have room for 1 Reaper

so the question answers itself

Currently, i’m keeping my order to one, though my excitement for it has gone up considerably.

Well as others have noted - it's basically a B-Wing. Small-base. Same price generic, hitpoints, agi, and attack the same. The dial is nearly the same - swapping the white and red hard turns between speed 1 (better, IMHO, that the Reaper has) and speed 2 (the B-Wing), and trading the B-Wing's 2k-turn for a pair of 1-sloops, then adding the always-fun 'stop' movement. And add 'evade' and 'jam' (however that works we don't know yet) to the action bar. And the free title, for extra shens.

So...how many B-Wings do you have?

Two. And I've never wanted to play BBBBZ. Though, the B suffers in that there is only a single best build: nearly naked. At least the striker has some options.

Yeah, do you see a stronger use of it than Whisper? (Soontir??)

This too. I'm exceptionally excited about these upgrades, but objectively, I think I really only need one.

Also, it continues to show how ridiculous Fenn Rau is.

Not being able to see the small bases beneath your Hulked-out Strikers enhances the effect, one imagines.

I ordered two. I'm probably crazy, but two Reapers and an ace might work.

What the ****, I'm just ready for Vermeil and Pharoh (Feroph) with some Jamming Beam/Scrambler Missile Rhos. So janky.

One. Plus three Strikers.

Yup. I don’t foresee a good list needing more than 1 of these or any of the upgrades.

even if you wanted to, like say double coordinate TIE shuttles with systems officers, FFG have already kindly packed two copies ?

You've never heard of the dread Imperial Squadron Feroph-n-Us??
