Rebel Rouser! How to Play With Sabine’s Tie Fighter

By Barclay Montgomery | February 16th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

What’s better than capturing an Imperial TIE Fighter and using against the Empire? Come and see the latest build that uses the Empires forces against itself.

Ashoka has a support ability that helps her squadmates perform extra actions. But her real power lies in her Pilot Skill. If you equip Veteran Instincts she gets boosted to PS 9; the perfect spot for the Captured TIE upgrade. 

This modification makes you all but immune from enemy fire. Enemy ships with a pilot skill lower than you cannot perform attacks against the Captured TIE. Be careful though. Whenever you preform an attack or are the last remaining friendly ship in play you lose your protected status.

Since you don;t want to be attacking for a while, you can equip Sabine’s Masterpiece title onto Ashoka to give her more utility. This will give her the ability to equip Illicit and Crew upgrades.

Feedback Array is an upgrade that will allow you to deal damage without losing your Captured TIE ability. It should only be used to finish a ship off since the TIE fighter has a measly 3 hull. This shouldn’t be used all that often.

Once you do attack and lose your free pass, Captain Rex will makes sure that you will be protected. If you perform an attack  that does not hit, Captain Rex enables you to assign a focus token to your ship. This can help boost your defense dice and make this little TIE one tough ship to take down.

That’s it for the latest Rebel rundown. Are you excited to pilot a TIE fighter as a Rebel player? I know I am!
