Hyper Empire

By chopan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi guys! Any thoughts on this list? I'm trying a more casual approach, however I don't want to get blown up by people flying top Hyper lists.

Scarif Base Pilot (41)
Tactical Officer (2)

“Pure Sabacc” (44)
Elusive (3)
Shield Upgrade (6)

“Wampa” (30)

Academy Pilot (23)

Thanks!

Looks good. You've got a 4-ship TIE fighter swarm, which is hard to ignore (and Wampa actively punishes you for ignoring it) as well as a nice flanking unit from Pure Sabbac.

My one concern with the reaper is this - it's a 43 point, 3-dice-primary ship, so it's one of the big guns of your squad. Pure Sabbac is an obvious ship to co-ordinate (either to barrel roll or to allow focus/evade) but otherwise I'm not sure it'll be worth spending the Reaper's action to boost a TIE Fighter.

It is a nice-to-have, though, and it's not like you have to use it.

Also - a nice trick to remember; Tactical Officer adds a white co-ordinate. It doesn't, however, remove your red co-ordinate which is still there if you wish to use it. That sounds counter-intuitive, but it does let you turn off your otherwise compulsory ailerons rule, letting you do 'just' a single blue move the following turn.

I've added Krenninc to the Reaper in order to boost Pure Sabacc
