Deal or no Deal Empire edition.

By Ronu, in X-Wing

Oh let’s have some fun here some new upgrades and now points means we can actually do this: so here are 5 random call outs let’s see if it’s a deal or no deal for you now.

Director Krennic: gives a ship s white TL action. And the changed Optimized Prototype. Squad cost 5 points....

Vader (Crew): The big bad boss himself. A better ability and the ability to strip tokens making life easier and provides a force token if you want/need it for something else.. total starting cost 14 points..

Inquisitor: Flying in a ship the can be crushed like a soda can. It does have an upgrade to its upgrade bar and is a force user... costing a base of 1/5 of a squad or 40 points base...

Ruthless: the only Imperial only upgrade. Damage a friend to increase your own attack by changing a blank to a hit. A cost of only 1...

TIE Agressor: a 30 point multi-role chassis. It’s the only Imperial ship with a turret...

.... Deals or no Deals?

Director Krennec- Glued to the Tie Phantom's FCS. 8 points for a reroll is expensive, but he also buffs another ship.

Vader: Expensive token stripping, but with a Reaper he can follow up a Jam with autodamage.

Quiz: havnt really thought about it. pass.

Ruthless: Should have been a scum talent. Two thumbs down.

Tie Aggressor: Linked Action Debris Gambit FTW.

Ruthless could be funny with Proton Rockets Deathfire as your expendable squadmate....

Krennic...no deal. Not wasting points to waste an action on Target-lock. Gotta focus!

Vader...cost is rough but ****** what an ability! Just gotta find him a good home...Vermeil? Tentative deal

Generic Inquisitor at 40 is still cheaper than a blue squad X. Should see immidiate use as a Sense platform if higher I pilots get popular. Can also Forcus + evade. Deal

Ruthlessness...eh...deal?? 1 point is basically nothing. Just need to dig for synergies

TIE aggressor. ******* 30 point base, 36 with ion, is more a steal than a deal.

I agree here. You an also take Ion Missiles, too. Even a Dorsal Turret on this thing isn't so bad. Very cheap.

Director Krennic: at 5 points with a soft calculate/focus he seems like a deal

Vader (Crew): decent but depends on the squad. deal

Inquisitor: generic force Inquisitors sound like so much fun I'll be picking up a 4th when they re-release it, deal.

Ruthless: Meh, for 1 point its not bad but gonna pass for now

TIE Agressor: As stated above for what it does and its upgrades, a steal.

Whisper: (52) + Krennic (5) + Juke (4) + FCS (3) + Afterburners (8) 72

Grand Inquisitor: (58) + Supernatural reflexes (12) + FCS (3) 75

Tomax Bren (34) + Crack shot (1) + Proton Torpedoes (9) + Afterburners (8) 52

199

Very mobile, very deadly, high IN. Inqy looks good, but a bit pricey.

Your math is off on the Inquisitor. You actually have 3 points left.

Even better. Dunno what to spend it on. :D

Krennic: Unless I'm truly desperate, for whatever reason, to get a target lock on a ship who can't (phantom?)…. No deal.

Vader: Autodamage or token removal. Deal.

Inquisitor: Deal… Mostly.

Ruthless: Imperial ships are already fragile as crystal. No deal.

Agressor: Usually not my playstyle, but cheap. Deal
