RAC list

By Goseki1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to think of something that makes RAC a bugger to kill, but also give him good wingmates that are hard to ignore. I'd like to try and get3good ships in. Grateful for thoughts on the below.

Deathfire could probably be changed for something else but I love the ability.

2 RAC, Deathfire and Soontir

(88) Rear Admiral Chiraneau
(7) Minister Tua
(5) Proton Bombs
(2) Hull Upgrade
Points 102

(52) Soontir Fel
(1) Marksmanship
Points 53

(32) "Deathfire"
(5) Proton Bombs
(2) Skilled Bombardier
(6) Barrage Rockets
Points 45

Total points: 200

I like Deathfire a lot. Despite Bombers being relatively low cost, nothing hurts more than to see your Bomber blow up without getting the chance to drop a bomb or fire ordnance.

I LOVE this TuaRac. TL, reinforce, ability? Wild. Now naturally, he wants to get hurt. Ruthless on Soontir would both boost his offense and help get RAC to his Tua state.

I would ditch the bombs and HU on RAC to then get Prox mines on Deathfire to make sure he has plenty of drops.

RAC won't need help to get hurt! I do think the proton bombs could probably be dropped in him though

Rac with tua, grand inquisitor and fifth brother.

Tua is a kind of push the limit for rac that trigger the rac ability.

Grand Iqusitor make you do another action to rotate the turret if you have someone at range 0-2 that search to arc dodge you or simply modify your dices.

"Fifty" modify an eye in a critic damage

Oh! And you have still to do you action :)

Considering that rac has 3 attack dices this build potentially allows you to modify the majority of the eyes, so the focus action becomes unsuefull and you can target lock or rotate the turret with your action.

Tua and Grand Inquisitor don't synergise though. They both give you stress so you can only do one. Turning a Turret after everyone has moved is really powerful though, so might try a list with him instead of Tua.

It works if you choose a blue manouver with a lower initiative pilot.

Rach has I5 so the most of the times

And it is also useful if you want to hit an higher initiatve that otherwise would arc dodge you.

I think a cheaper RAC that gives you more points toward a 2nd and 3rd ship is better at this point. Tua is fantastic and is an auto-include on RAC. Hull upgrade because it's only 2 points.

I like the deathfire build.

I guess I'm unsure if a cheap Soontir really works. I haven't flown 2.0 Fel yet, but I'm finding it hard to see it working well. I see a 3rd ship that pushes more damage thru in the early game as being a better option alongside RAC.

Cheap Soontir was the pits. The Decimator has lost a lot of potency with its fastest blue now being a straight 2 and having no access to boost (all fair changes I think). Its very very different to fly and will take a lot of getting used to I think...

I'm tempted to make RAC fatter and just have Rexlar or Vader as support but 2 ship lists seem to suffer at the moment
