Blackout, what are your favorite best/fav build?

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey

Ive been flying allot of tavson/qd/starkiller, and i tought that i need something that can move/Dodge,

ive flown both kylo and blackout before, but not in 2.0

My squad is

Quickdraw

Fcs

Spec gunner

Fanatical

Lt Tavsson,

captain phasma

and then Blackout, with Fanatical and Adv optics, for some consistant dps. if u have any other ideas, do tell. i wanna try out allot of them

list total at 196

Trick Shot and Proton Rockets can be fun with Blackout. A potential six dice Range 1-2 shot against a reduced agility ship. Can still fit that in a QD/Tavson list in come capacity.

yeah, i can fit it in, il end up at 199

I’ve been having decent success with this list:

New Squadron

(64) "Blackout" [TIE/vn Silencer]
(5) Lone Wolf
(5) Pattern Analyzer
Points: 74

(45) "Quickdraw" [TIE/sf Fighter]
(10) Special Forces Gunner
(2) Fire-Control System
(2) Fanatical
(5) Pattern Analyzer
Points: 64

(62) Lieutenant Tavson [Upsilon-class command shuttle]
Points: 62

Total points: 200

having the ability to talon roll over a gas cloud and have extra dice, lone wolf and still take my focus makes him pretty survivable. Also gives the other player a tough choice. Chase blackout and have the shuttle and QuickDraw on your six or leave blackout for a 1v1

Add Biohexacrypt codes to your Tavson. Have you used Bio-codes? Fantastic bargain.

Lock either QD or BO for some extra action economy. "Please, shoot Tavson. I dare you to make my ships better!"

i have used it, its fun

and tavson is great, last time i flew him, my opponent shot at tavson, whilest at range 1

well thanks för the look and focus for my 5 dice return shot

Fanatical and Adv Optics on Blackout is a really nice way to run him. At a minimum I would at least run Fanatical, it's a really nice Talent. I like Primed Thrusters on Silencers as well, but it is pricey.

For a little while I played around with this:

Quickdraw: Fanatical, FCS, SFG

Blackout: Fanatical

Scorch: Fanatical

Longshot: Fanatical

197

I wouldn't take it to a big tourney, not enough action economy, but it is fun to fly and hits hard to begin with and even harder as damage is received. I generally flew Quickdraw and the TIE/fo's together and left Blackout to flank.

ive flown Qd, Scorch , Muse and Tavson, its allot of fun, tho they need some higher initive and moore beef, so droping scorch and longshot for blackout seems to be fun ,
