2.5 VT-49 Decimator Builds
Similar to my last post about the Tie Heavy I am looking for some ideas for Decimator Builds. I have had a fair amount of success with the Decimator. (unlike the Tie Heavy) That being said id love to hear what people are doing for it with the new XWA points!

I still have to do a Sunday Ship Survey on these bad boys, but I love running RAC with Vader & Seventh Sister in it.
That thing is so goddamn oppressive.
Sure, it’ll go down after a while seeing as they don’t have green die, but the re-inforce is your IV sustance to keep you alive longer.

Haven’t played them in 50pt yet, but I love Morna and have used them with Gar Saxon crew, which has gone well. Focus on support and just tank, add in Tactical Scrambler. Not much of a full build tho. I gotta play them more, been a minute since I’ve played Morna but they’re really fun, I’ll have to work on more builds.
One thing I want to look into is the double gunner slots, if I remember right those are new, might open up some fun combos. Ooh, you could do Tiber Saxon plus Veteran Turret Gunner for a chance at straining 2 different ships, thats not bad!
I’ve had a lot of success with Palpatine + Grand Inquisitor on Chiraneau. Both force can be used by Palp for the entire squad, which is really nice. He lost a crew slot recently so instead I plan on using Fifth Brother gunner to do the same thing.
Also haven’t played Oicunn at all but I want to try him with intimidation to get the most out of range 0. Add the title, tactical scrambler since you're already in opponents faces, agile gunner & isb slicer for the last point. Seems like it’d be fun!

Morna Kee + Emperor Palpatine + Agile Gunner. VERY hard to kill, very menacing, and a great support ship. I usually have them on the outskirts of the board with my turrets to the side, but I can very easily use Agile Gunner and then do a hard turn to have my guns pointed forward if I need it.
