Imperial Barony: Star Wars X-Wing Build

By Barclay Montgomery | January 18th, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

The TIE Advanced Prototype is back to make another attack run with some new tech for Star Wars X-Wing. The Baron of the Empire is on the prowl!

The Baron of the Empire is all set in his new TIE Advanced Prototype and is ready to fir all the missiles! This build will focus on ordnance and delivering it to the Rebels as soon as possible.

Saturation Salvo is a great Elite upgrade for the Baron. After performing an attack with missiles or torpedoes that does not hit, each ship at range 1 of the defender with an agility lower than the squad point cost of said missile or torpedo must roll 1 attack die and take damage on a hit or crit. What a mouthful! In other words, if your missile misses its target, other ships will be damaged instead!

To take advantage of Saturation Salvo’s wording, Concussion missiles will make it so that any ship will have to roll for damage since it cost 4 points and no ship in X-wing has an agility of 4. This works out great for the Baron since Concussion Missiles have a range of 2-3 and pack a huge punch!

To keep the Baron safe in his approach to the Rebels, TIE/v1 is a great title that ties this build together. After you acquire a target lock, you may perform a free evade action. Grab that target lock and boost your defenses!

The Baron can go solo or in number since he is moderate priced at 25 points. Defeat the Rebels at any cost!
