Focused Hatred: Silencer X-Wing Build

By Barclay Montgomery | December 26th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Kylo Ren is in hot pursuit of the Resistance fighters and he is seeking revenge for his defeat at the hands of Rey. His hatred gives him focus

Kylo Ren is a top notch pilot at Pilot Skill 9 in his TIE Silencer. If you feel like you need to be even more of a top level pilot, giving him Veteran Instincts will push him up to Pilot Skill 11. This could make him the next new powerful Ace for the Empire, and with this build he will be fearsome on the tabletop.

With his pilot ability, Kylo Ren can punish your opponents for attacking him. You can return the favor and really play into his hunter nature with the First Order Vanguard title. When attacking, if the defender. is the only ship in your firing arc, you may reroll 1 attack die. When defending you may discard this card to reroll all of your defense dice. This can be a great attack modifier with a built in defensive suite in case you flub your defense roll. 

Threat Tracker is a new Tech option that can boost your action economy. When an enemy ship inside your firing arc becomes the active ship during the Combat Phase, you may spend your target lock on that ship to perform a free boost or barrel roll action. This can be a great way to stick to one target and focus them down.

Fire Control system can net you free target locks each turn that you attack a ship. After you perform an attack, you may acquire a target lock on the defender. This can continually fuel your Threat Tracker and can let Kylo focus on other actions.

This new Kylo Ren build will be super aggressive in his tactics of focusing on one target at a time, but that target will have no where to run!
