Favorited Phantom w/Tie Swarm builds?
I have never run a Phantom Tie Swarm but sounds like a fun way to break in the new year.
Echo with Sloane
Howlrunner and Academy pilots.
Any exotic builds out there?

I flew the above at a recent Wave Championships. Prior to the event I was running Swarm Tactics on Howlrunner but switched to Squad Leader to allow me to rescue Echo if she lost her evade or to react to torp carriers (by adding an evade to the painted target or barrel rolling them out of arc). Honestly, this worked better in theory than in practice (largely down to Howlrunner getting one-shotted in three of my four games), and I think I only coordinated once all day. If I took it again I’d revert to Swarm Tactics. Overall the squad is strong though. Chewing through five TIEs takes a while and they can hit back hard with Howlrunner and Sloane’s help. Then, when your opponent’s done with the TIEs, you can theoretically throw an untouched Echo into the fray.
My buddy asked for a list to fly once, and I suggested my variation on Echo with Sloane. Basically a Sloan Crack Swarm with Collision Detectors making Echo even more slippery. He hasn’t flown anything else since.

Thanks guys. Any suggestions on set up with the phantom, Swarm and asteroids?
Going against a lot of three ship builds, usually a couple of blockers and tank/ace combo.
