We’ve not seen the last of Deathrain! This crazy TIE Punisher gets better and better with the latest upgrades to hit Star Wars X-Wing.
Your favorite TIE Punisher pilot is back again to deliver some indiscriminate justice to the Rebel Scum! This ship is crazy since it can drop bombs out of its front arc, and was doing it before it was cool. Deathrain also grabs a free barrel roll after dropping a bomb so as not to get caught in his own destruction, but we have a plan for that!
To make sure that Deathrain has plenty of bombs to chuck, Bomblet Generator is the perfect upgrade for our Punisher bomber. Whenever Deathrain reveals a maneuver she may drop a 1 bomblet token which detonates at the end of the activation phase. This can be tricky to pull off since the deal 1 damage to any ship in range 1. Let’s extend our reach!
Trajectory Simulator is the perfect upgrade for Deathrain as it allows for a bomb to be launched out of the front arc at speed 5. This can set up a great turn in which Deathrain can approach slowly, throw a bomb at speed 5, and barrel roll into position for attack. Since 2 primary attack is a little weak, let’s grab some missiles.
Unguided Rockets is the perfect missile option for Deathrain. All that’s needed is a focus to fire them, and they need not be discarded when you use them. 3 attack is great for 2 points, saving you points that you would otherwise be spending on Extra Munitions.
Deathrain continues to get better and better in X-Wing. Take your opponents off guard with this wild bomber!
