Kylo, Blackout and Quickdraw

By Andyf1702, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Will the following work?

Kylo Ren (76)
Hate (3)

"Blackout" (64)

"Quickdraw" (45)
Special Forces Gunner (10)

Not sure if this is better than a fat Quickdraw with a FO.

This is for a local shop tournament where it will be against other SF lists, or resistance.

For sure! I think Kylo with Hate is a great finisher. I haven’t flown the other 2, my current Kylo list uses Recoil and an Omega Ace FO.

Let us know how it goes!

Add in TS on Blackout, no Bid really needed.

@Deffly

What do you mean by "no Bid really needed"? Can you explain a little?

From my understanding it is good to fly after some other Ini 5 Pilots with those two very mobile ships like Kylo and Blackout.

In the OP's list he has 198pts already. You will almost never win initiative against other PS5-6 so why have a 2pt bid when tricks shot works so well on BO?

Ahh now I understand what you mean and I agree with you, whether 198 or 200 p. does not play a role for the bid.

But in general you would always try to build a bid into Kylo, wouldn't you?

In theory yes, but right now I’m not sure FO has the point efficiency to run Kylo and others without a bid.

I've played against a nice Kylo hate, Blackout trick shot + Advanced optic and Malarus juke with a nice 5pt bid (9 if you drop Advanced optic).

I had Whisper, Rexler and Duchess with no bid and being first player killed me. Silencers are too maneuvrables. You really want to go second with them.
