Kagi, Rexlar, Whisper

By IceManHG, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was thinking about running this list this week. My meta is protorp heavy with lots of Rebel Alpha strikes.

Captain Kagi (53)
- Director Krennic (5)

Rexlar Brath (87)
-Juke (5)

Whisper (59)
-Juke (5)

Total: 199/200

The idea is to use Kagi as a target lock thief and ordnance alpha sponge. Kagi and Rexlar would go in together with Whisper flanking. I would assign Optimized Prototype to Rexlar and use Krennic to push extra damage. I am mildly concerned with the lack of a large bid. Any thoughts?

I kinda feel like just cutting Krennic. I don't really want to have to spend my action on the shuttle getting a Lock (I want to coordinate my other ships, or else Reinforce if I've got a full Rebel Alpha staring me down), and there isn't room for ST-321 for action economy.

Meanwhile, Optimized Prototype doesn't feel like it really works too well with Rexler. Rex likes to have his attacks hit (so he can expose a card with his ability) and spending a result with OptProt will usually make it harder for the attack to hit.

ST-321 or Agent Kallus would give Kagi some red-dice mods, but it might work out best to have the 6-point bid.

I think the list seems like it has good bones, though. Two solid ships in Whisper and Rexler, with Kagi a decent support ship.

Yeah I think your correct about Rexlar and Krennic. I will try it with Agent Kalus and see if I really need a larger bid or not.

ST-321 instead of Krennic would make Kagi into a much more legitimate threat AND support! Leaves a 2 point bid

Whisper works well with a collision detector and Rexler don't need more upgrades. He's fabulous. My favourite pilot. That's a pity he is so expensive. Good luck!

JAMMING BEAM ON REXLER!!! WHAT WHAT?!?!
