smashthedean Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I've been away from X-Wing for a little while, but I've been playing a little more recently. Unfortunately, it seems to me that most of the new toys that have been coming out have primarily benefited Rebels and to a lesser extent Scum while leaving the Imps in the dust a bit. So, what I'm wanting to know is - what Imperial builds are viable in the current X-Wing meta? I've been running Chireneau/Vader mostly so far and it's done okay, but 2-ship builds aren't my favorite so I'd like to find something new that can compete in the current field. Thoughts?

DisruptiveConduct Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Tie swarm is still viable with someone like you flying. The Decimator/Dauntless/Isana/Engine uograde just got slightly nerfed. Imperials are real tough to find a good build right now. The new TIE punisher is offering some really good options, mainly because of its shields. Rebels and scum can throw crits out so many diff ways that shields play a huge role for imperials now. Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I've been doing some digging and a lot of people seem to be fond of Palpatine in a shuttle with a couple of aces. Perhaps I'll give that a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 We call that the white whale and friends. Shuttle stalls around and throws HLC shots from backfield and aces run a pincher or flank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzanita Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 You're right it is a two ship empire right now. The good news is that decimation plus arc dodger is winning. I'm not sure what was going on in Poland this month but they had several other types of imperial lists do quite well. http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/get_tourney_details?tourney_id=668 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Interesting, Crack Shot swarm for the win. That does seem to be a pretty nice card, I was thinking of running it on Vader in my Palpmobile list. What I mean to say is that it's a crummy card and you or Kevin should give me your extras so I don't have to buy a 666 or a Kihraxz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
