Whisper with Krennic

By fingerzz, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys

I need opinion for build I did for Whisper/Lambda/Reaper. Any opinion is welcome.

New Squadron

(52) "Whisper"
(4) Juke
(5) Collision Detector
(6) Agent Kallus
Points 67

(49) Major Vermeil
(14) Darth Vader
(3) Elusive
Points 66

(46) Colonel Jendon
(6) ST-321
(5) Director Krennic
(10) Grand Moff Tarkin
Points 67

Total points: 200

The list certainly has strong damage output potential, so there are definitely no concerns there. However, the list has a very obvious 'achilles heel': if whisper dies, you lose the ability to have any chance of beating high initiative and positional opponents like super Luke, sensor Guri or Soonts.

Personally, I'd rather throw Kallus on Vermeil so that he can functionally have fully modded attacks. With that and Whis with the condition, I can't help but think that you don't need Jendon/Tarkin. What about Sai?

Agreed. Jendon’s ability is wasted here since he is the only ship that can lock. Swap Jendon for Sai, put the title and advanced sensors on him and swap Kallus for Krennic on Whisper. Decloak her for the evade, Sai coordinates giving them both a focus, and then she locks. Full mods for both of them. Vermeil is fine how he is though I don’t think he needs elusive. This gives you 7 points to play with for either a bid or maybe a shield upgrade on Whisper.

Very interesting approach for Lambda. I need to consider this idea for wave championship in my local store. What about ruthless on Vermil, Could be very powerful on dice roll?

I'd put Krennic on Sai so that Whisper can be the OP. But it looks lovely

Krennic on Sai and the title is nuts.

Absolutely nuts.

I wiped out squadrons with Optimized Prototype on either Rexler Brath or the Duchess (more often on this one).

First goes the duchess to strip shields,then goes Rexler to get to the hull and flip one damage card.

It can deal an absurd amount of damage.

I'm in love lol. 😁

In this list who would you put the OP on? Sai? Redline? Doesn't make much sense on either.

Depends on the matchup but probably on Redline since he has the most attack dice of all. This is just pure theory build of consideration for Hungary nationals.
