TIE Interceptors are a powerful, dedicated anti-squadron force, and their Counter ability can make them highly challenging for bombers like Y-Wings and TIE Bombers to handle. Thanks to the Counter rule, TIE Interceptors get to fire 2 blue dice at enemy squadrons attacking them, and these counter attacks benefit from both Howlrunner’s ability and Swarm, giving them a potential Counter 3 with a single reroll. Like TIE Fighters, they benefit greatly from Swarm, but also come with Counter. They boast a blistering top speed of 5 and come with anti-squadron armaments of 4 blue dice. TIE INTERCEPTORS: At 11 points, TIE Interceptors act like TIE Fighters on steroids. Enemy ships with strong anti-squadron batteries should be rightly feared, as they will quickly whittle TIE clusters to dust.
It also doesn’t help that the Swarm rule and Howlrunner both encourages them to bunch up. With only 3 hit points, they’re easily focused down during a single round of combat. Well, TIE Fighters may put out a ton of anti-squadron damage, but they go down fast. True, they only have a single blue die to attack with, but that’s 1 blue die … per 8 points! Attacks like that can add up quickly. This potent anti-squadron ability can be further supplemented with Howlrunner and/or Flight Controllers for up to 5 blue dice (with a single reroll) per squadron.Īnd don’t discount TIE Fighters when it comes to engaging enemy ships. With nearby friendly squadrons engaging the enemy, they can reroll a single die. They also pack impressive anti-squadron punch for their points.ģ blue dice allow them to tear through enemy squadrons rapidly, and the Swarm rule only makes this better. With speed 4, TIE Fighters can easily get the drop on the often slower enemy squadrons. TIE FIGHTERS: At 8 points each, TIE Fighter Squadrons are incredibly affordable and can form effective screening forces with minimal investment. IN SHORT: Cheap, fast, and more specialized than Rebel squadrons, TIEs provide a versatile set of cannon fodder to throw at your opponents.
Today, let’s take a look at what the standard TIE squadrons have to offer. As of Wave 1, the Imperial Navy has four basic squadrons and five character squadrons to choose from. Squadrons provide an important supplement to the capital ships of Star Wars: Armada.
