Fine Tuning a Punisher and 2 Phantoms

By Darth Wrath, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So here's what I'm running that I'm having a lot of success with. I'm interested in what changes people would make.

"Whisper" (52)
Juke (4)
Darth Vader (14)

"Redline" (44)
Trajectory Simulator (3)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
Concussion Missiles (6)
Proton Bombs (5)
Seismic Charges (3)
Ablative Plating (4)

Sigma Squadron Ace (46)
Juke (4)
Fire-Control System (3)
Director Krennic (5)

Total: 199

I like Sigma over Echo because I like to fly my Phantoms together then use decloak to split them apart once we engage. Running Echo made that difficult because of his weird decloak. I tried this with Soontir instead of the second Phantom but I find this to be a much tougher list for people to deal with.

I had Barrage Rockets on Redline but I found I rarely had anyone in bullseye so I think I'm switching to Concussion Missiles (I haven't actually run with that yet).

Oooohh this seems nice! Efficient, consistent, versatile. I have a couple thought:

I'd put Krennic/FCS in Whisper and Vader on the Sigma. The reroll makes it more likely for Whisper to hit and proc her ability. The Sigma, meanwhile, shooting last can better use the condition to flip crits.

Now for Red. I find the merits of Barrage Rockets lie in how many charges it has, not in the innate rerolls - Red can get focus/lock anyway for full mods. That being said, Concussion Missiles will probably last as long as Red himself does, so its not a bad idea. I don't honestly know how I'd go.

I do feel rather strongly that AdSen is too good on Red to pass up - he'll want some reds, and needs his actions. That leaves 14 points. AdProTorps are nice, as are some bombs - but probably not 4 bombs.

I do like switching Krennic/Vader. I’d been considering that and you just convinced me.

I like having the seismics. They have been great for creating maneuvering space for the Phantoms and I’ve been good about getting hits with them. However, Adv. Sensors would be nice. Hmmm....

Seismics onto what I suggested still leaves 11 POINTS for plating or AdProTorps!
