Heavy Laser Cannon - HLC - Are you using it?

By william1134, in X-Wing

Defenders use it, if i have the points i'll put it on the lambda because....why not the way i play initiative doesnt help me 90% of the time and its comical to have people poke into R3 and not even think about the bullseye. Granted, never get it off more than once a game but meh its 4pts i didnt need anyway.

Defenders seem to get it quite easily ive been noticing. I'd say about a third of my shots were HLC shots, or would be but R1 so 4dice anyway. Even had people roll to try and get out of R1 only to not quite get out of the bullseye and...welp still 4dice just no crits i'll take it anyway lol

Give me a chance to use a T-70 and I'll start making people scream for a cost increase.

I've been trying to use this as a part of a standard HLC list. Thoughts? Build suggestions? Sai hands out focus so Rex can barrel roll into position if needed.

Hm...maybe you can trim some points somewhere to give yourself a larger bid?

How do you Fly Brath? AS boosted 4ks that put you in positions to use HLC? Or is AS for arc dodging?

Both ways, it’s situational and positioning dependent.

Really liking HLCs with my Juke Defenders: FCS Rexler and Collision Detector Vessery.

Yup, Rexler again.

One of my favorite variants of three ship Rex. Can leave the Ablative Plating off for a stronger bid.

For two points Skilled Bombardier gives you a lot of flexibility.
