SF + Defender = [Favorite - (Jam/Harpoon)]??

By NaKoaLani, in X-Wing Squad Lists

All,

Going back and forth on new Jam/Krennic or good ol’ Harpoon overkill. Not sure what you all think will surface to the top as the best? Two list ideas:

Two Ladies who Dare to Give you the Raspberry (99)

•"Quickdraw" (34) - TIE/SF Fighter
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Scarif Base Pilot (31) - TIE Reaper
•Director Krennic (5), ISB Slicer (2), Advanced Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

•Countess Ryad (34) - TIE Defender
•Lone Wolf (2), TIE/x7 (-2)

OP would go to Ryad and either her or QD could stand up on their own really well. Lone wolf Ryad would just be bonkers end game.

or #2

Harpoons Anyone? (100)

•Countess Ryad (34) - TIE Defender
•Lone Wolf (2), TIE/x7 (-2)

•"Quickdraw" (38) - TIE/SF Fighter
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Rho Squadron Veteran (28) - Alpha-class Star Wing
Deadeye (1), Extra Munitions (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Long-Range Scanners (0)

Good ol’ Harpoon overload with solid Defender/SF.

anyone have any predictions on which game element will be most powerful? Trying to keep a defender/SF in the mix as they are my fav ships and it’s the last 1.0 meta move. Thanks!

I'd consider Juke on Ryad in the Reaper version. Krennic likes to be at Range 1-2 so he can get free TLs, and if you're intending to Jam, the enemy ships likely won't have a focus to fix the Juke'd die. Lone Wolf might be better if Ryad is the last ship left, but Juke helps you kill off their squad.

Personally, if I'm building a Deadeye Rho, I'm probably bringing Guidance Chips over Long Range Scanners. Redundancy is good, too, I just like GC more personally.

Oh yes, definitely Juke on Ryad if not PTL. You want your money's worth for Krennic, and for that, you need to be closer together.
