Help with Empire list

By Cpdio, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

Im usually a Rebel player but recently I bought a few Imperial ships and I wonder what lists would you recommend having only 2x Tie Strikers and 4 Ties l/n available.

i was thinking in Duchess, Pure Sabacc, Howlrunner, Wampa and “Scourge” Skutu.

Thanks for any tip or idea.

Iden, Howl, Seyn+Marksmanship, Gideon, Duchess+Predator+Afterburners is 191. That's a bigger bid than strictly necessary, but it works. YASB .

That's not a bad list!

Duchess can fit a bomb/mine too. So many people forget the Strikers can carry one, even while you're playing against them seconds after you went over your list.

I typically have Duchess hang back/off to the side in order to try and flank. Instead of predator, I use Lone Wolf. It works for offense or defense. Try to make sure she makes it into the end game.

Heck, I forget my opponent has bombs when they're running specialist bombers.

There's a lot of combinations you can run with 4 TIEs and 2 Strikers, most would be not wrong.

The named Strikers, the I4 and I5 named TIEs, Crack Shot I3 TIEs or bare naked I1 TIEs should all serve you well.

Thanks mates!

Will use your tips. 😀

I would avoid generic Strikers. Duchess with just Predator is terrific, Pure Sabaac likes Shield Upgrade. I've found they both like Seyn, because Strikers sometimes struggle to push damage through.
