2.0 Rexler and Whisper+ ??

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys, i wanna try this list out

Rexler Brath — TIE Defender 84
Juke 4
Fire-Control System 3
Ship Total: 91
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 52
Fire-Control System 3
Director Krennic 5
Ship Total: 60

That leaves 49 points to play with

What do you think? I was first gona put Director krennic on vermil but he cant targetlock , so rendering the optimized prototype uterly usles.

hmmm

Major Rhymer with Advanced Proton Torpedos?

40 Points for a 5 dice attack at range 1-2 is hard to beat.

I say Trick Shot (she can decloak out from behind obstacles) or Juke on Whisper (she, too will likely have a free evade token) and add Duchess. She's kind of a steal at 42 points, and same PS as everyone else. There'd be 3-6 points left over. That could be a Talent on Duchess (Elusive seems nicest), or I bet a bid would still be nice. I'd been thinking Vessery over Rexler, but Rexler + FCS is a point cheaper for nearly the same effect, and adds a new trick with exposing damage cards. He's also PS 5 and doesn't lose his action economy when his partners die.

Krennic on Vermiel isn't useless, though. He adds the Target Lock action to the ship he's on. I don't know that Krennic is goon on Vermiel, however. I feel like Krennic is going to work best when you don't mind not spending the lock (I bet Vermiel really wants to jam a bunch, rather than TL every turn), which means he's probably at his best with Fire Control System.

I bet the bomber works fine, but hadn't really thought much about it. Bomber might be a much better 3rd ship with Vessery, due to the built-in TL which a Striker lacks.
