The TIE Defender is punching it full throttle into X-Wing 2.0! Come and see the new way to fly TIE Defenders that will have you going fast again.
Onyx Leader: Tie Defender’s Back For X-Wing 2.0
Rexler Brath is blasting off at full throttle ni X-wing 2.0, and will have your opponent’s head spinning! At initiative 5, Rexler Brath will most likely be last to activate in a round and will be inclined to be at high speed. Rexler’s pilot ability kicks in after he performs an attack that hits; if Rexler is evading, he may flip one of the defender’s damage cards.
This gives your enemy ship a critical card to deal with and keeps Rexler safe on the return fire volley. His Full Throttle ability from his TIE Defend makes it so after he fully executes a speed 3-5 maneuver, he may perform a evade action. This will make Rexler fly at break-neck speed!
Since Rexler is blasting off at high speed, he will be able to easily dodge enemy firing arcs. This can be improved with the Outmaneuver talent. While Rexler performs a primary attack, if he is not in the defender’s firing arc, the defender rolls 1 fewer defense die. This can be easily achieved with the dreaded TIE Defender speed 4 Koiogran turn and can get Rexler’s attacks to hit more often!
A Heavy Laser Cannon will be a worthy investment for the TIE Defender. This cannon allows you to perform a 4 dice attack in your bulls-eye firing arc at range 2-3. After your attack, you must change all crit results to hits, but Rexler cares not, foe he simply wants his attack to hit so that he can deal critical damage to the defender. Either way, Rexler will most often be firing 4 dice attacks all over the tabeletop once you get your hands on the TIE Defender in X-Wing 2.0!
