Making Y-Wings Great Again: X-Wing Tactics

By Barclay Montgomery | November 17th, 2016 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Grab your Scum fighters! This Y-Wing build is super fun and effective. What more could you ask for in an X-Wing miniatures game ship?
kavil-1

Kavil is the badass Y-wing pilot that needs only one name. This is my favorite Y-wing because of his pilot ability. Whenever he is attacking outside of his primary firing arc he rolls 1 additional attack die. He’s great with a Twin Laser Turret, but let’s get more aggressive.

dorsal-turret

Dorsal Turret is a great turret upgrade for Kavil. It is the only turret that grants a range combat bonus. It is a range 1-2 attack of 2 dice, but if you are at range 1 it becomes 3. Add Kavil’s ability and you are throwing 4 dice at your target with a Y-Wing! That’s crazy! But a Y-Wing’s dial is not the best so let’s get shwifty with it.

unhinged-astromech

Add an Unhinged Astromech and you will be pulling crazy 3 turns all day, and keep your targets in range of your turret. Add Push the Limit and Engine Upgrade and you are really talking the talk! That’s a Y-Wing with the ability to boost and fire 4 dice at range 1.

 

Can’t get much better than that. What do y’all think of this Kavil build?
