The Empire is showing its true might these days. We have here the Top 5 list in the X-Wing game currently according to Mini Ranker. Let’s review.
List #1
Whisper + Veteran Instincts + Fire‑Control System + Advanced Cloaking Device + Agent Kallus
Captain Yorr + Emperor Palpatine
Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay
You would think that with these Imperial lists always being on top, someone would think of a counter list right? This list features all the baddies that the Imperials have to offer. Whisper is an incredibly powerful ship that is further augmented to Super Saiyan levels with Emperor Palpatine supporting. Omega Leader is one of the top aces along the lines of Soontir Fel and Darth Vader. This list has it all. Superior offense and defense.
List #2
IG88‑C + Heavy Laser Cannon + Fire‑Control System + Autothrusters + IG‑2000 + Crack Shot + Glitterstim
IG88‑B + Heavy Laser Cannon + Fire‑Control System + Autothrusters + IG‑2000 + Crack Shot + Glitterstim
Brobots is still on top baby! These guys seem to always narrowly avoid damage and come back with super accurate return fire. IG-88B maximizes offense with his ability to fire again if he misses. IG-88C is all about defense and action economy with his ability to hand out evades when boosting. Glitterstim helps in those tight situations and Fire Control System keeps the target locks flowing.
List #3
Soontir Fel + Stealth Device + Push The Limit + Royal Guard TIE + Autothrusters
Omicron Group Pilot + Sensor Jammer + Emperor Palpatine
The Inquisitor + Push The Limit + Autothrusters + TIE/v1
Imperials continue to dominate the lists. Soontir Fel is the most dangerous fighter out there and he always seems to slip right past your firing arcs. The Inquisitor is the sniper of the bunch, hanging back safely at range 3 and getting range 1 shots all day. The Emperor is here as well, albeit with more defense added with the Sensor Jammer.
List #4
The Inquisitor + Push The Limit + Autothrusters + TIE/v1
Omicron Group Pilot + Emperor Palpatine
Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay
Wampa
The most recent Imperial aces list continues to stay on top. The Inquisitor is able to line up shots from a safe distance, while Omega Leader and Wampa close in for the kill. The Emperor allows for the coup de grace in synergy with Wampa, forcing a critical damage through shields and defense dice.
List #5
Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay
Black Squadron Pilot + Crack Shot x4
Wampa
Another list featuring Omega Leader and Wampa; these guys are best buddies. Omega Leader dishes out some pain first, and let’s his swarm of Black Squadron pilots feast on the wounded prey. If it still survives, Wampa will give it a mercy killing for ya!
That’s the Top 5 lists in the X-Wing meta game currently as seen on MiniRanker’s 90 day window.
Do you have what it takes to think up and fly the new top list? Keep trying new things and always fly casual!
