Sense aces

By polmoneys, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The idea is to fly 3 aces with Sense as a safety net against randomness (inititiave, my oponent list/plan...)

If moving first as long GI is alive I should be able to block and kill other aces, if I move last force will be used on dice.

I’m close to put it on the table but could use some crowd validation:

Rexler Brath (84)

Grand Inquisitor (58)
Sense (6)

“Whisper” (52)

Total: 200

simple to explain

easy to carry

3 good end-game ships

same I5 = fun activation

Whisper can’t boost (not the perfect blocker)

Too reliable on GI staying alive

How does it look? Should Whisper be traded for Soontir in order to draw more aggro away from GI? We lose the I5 simmetry and two shields but we gain moaaaaaar boosts

I don't think its reliant on GrInky - it just gets better with him. Everyone runs so light that I don't know if it will rock, but it is three very potent ships

All I can think of is to downgrade to a delta and beef Whisper with 12 points.

all ships can boost
