Anyone have some first order aces lists that have preformed well? I've been trying something like this.

TIE/fo Fighter - •“Midnight” - 46
•“Midnight” - Omega Leader (44)
Fanatical (2)

TIE/vn Silencer - •Kylo Ren - 79
•Kylo Ren - Tormented Apprentice (76)
Hate (3)

TIE/sf Fighter - •“Quickdraw” - 70
•“Quickdraw” - Defiant Duelist (45)
Fanatical (2)
Fire-Control System (2)
Shield Upgrade (6)
Special Forces Gunner (10)
Pattern Analyzer (5)

Total: 195/200

View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

i would drop kylo for blackout with pattern analyzer and loose fanatical on quickdraw for juke or predator.

I've run that QD build, except changing Fanatical for Elusive. Very tanky.

I’m very much pro-Advanced Optics on kylo. You can sub that for Hate if you want to keep your bid. I get it - Hate helps you gain back Force to use ISYTDS, but optics makes almost every shot Kylo makes land 3 or 4 (for R1) hits.

You could also lose PA and the shield upgrade on QD to put squad leader on Midnight. That will allow Kylo to focus br/boost then coordinate the other repositioning if needed. While I do love that shield upgrade on QD, I generally take two hits on her anyways, so her ability typically will only trigger twice in a game regardless.

Ehh. Maybe could be tanky but there’s still a good chance that reroll is another blank. When QD loses her shields, having FCS for one reroll and the chance to turn a focus to a hit gives you great odds at hitting hard. Then you just evade and that guarantees you an evade result.

True, Elusive is about trying to save shields so you don't loose too many at once and can get more double taps.

I really like running QD with Juke. I'm usually shooting first which gives me the Juke and a guaranteed evade to help my burn of shields slowly.

Juke and a Shield Upgrade and taking evade actions usually give me 1-2 more shot backs than running him with any other talent.

Just a generic F/O aces brainstorm. Not a list, just builds that I would count as aces, that can be combined as pleased:

Silencers:

Kylo - can work naked. Hate and AdOps are good, though I'd prefer Hate

Blackout - Trick Shot

Recoil - Predator

SpecForces

QD - SpecGunner and FCS. In no particular order, PA, SU, Juke, and Fanatical are all worthwhile investments if you have the points

TIE/FOs

Midnight - can take Fanatical (possibly also HU), AdOps, and/or PA if points allow

this is how i would run it:

first order aces

(44) "Midnight"
(5) Pattern Analyzer
Points 49

(45) "Quickdraw"
(10) Special Forces Gunner
(5) Pattern Analyzer
(6) Shield Upgrade
(2) Fire-Control System
(5) Juke
Points 73

(64) "Blackout"
(2) Trick Shot
(5) Pattern Analyzer
Points 71

Total points: 193
