First Stab of the Saber

By TheHumanHydra, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Elsewhere, y'all were saying Fel and Duchess were efficient. How's this list?

[54] Soontir Fel (52) - Predator (2)

[46] Turr Phennir (44) - Predator (2)

[44] Duchess (42) - Predator (2)

[28] Black Squadron Ace (26) - Predator (2)

[28] Black Squadron Ace (26) - Predator (2)

[200]

Is Phennir okay? He only has 4 initiative - I would have hoped for 5. If I want to run him and Fel, would Swarm Tactics be a good idea on Fel, or would it make them too predictable (have to stay at range 1 of each other)?

Should the two Black Squadron Aces be Whisper with Juke (56) instead, who I also read is really good?

(At these costs, maybe someday I'll be able to run the two Saber aces and the two Royal Guards. Mmmm ...)

Soontir? YES

Duchess? Idk if she needs predator, but I can't think of a better EPT!

Turr? Same as Duchess.

I do, however, like fitting Whisper in there instead of the BSAs. Seems more well rounded

Juke Whisper is 56 points, same cost as the two Black Squadron Aces.

At Init 4, I think Turr Phener needs at least a token point bid. Having inititive over all the other Init 4s, as well as the lessor pilots, will make him a more effective pilot.

Actually, Phennir is great either shooting or moving first - if he shoots first, he can still dodge out of arc with a boost or barrel roll. It's what makes him amazing, but also requires some practice.
