Star Wars: Squadrons/TIE Reaper


 * The TIE Reaper's a specialist model made for utility and squadron support. If the enemy sees one, they know they're in trouble.
 * -Willard Waylin

Support craft have a number of auxiliary systems dedicated to helping their team and hindering their opponents. While poor dogfighters and should never be in the middle of a furball, supports are often bullied by other players due to their value. They have a few one-on-one auxiliary abilities, but lack the mobility of fighters and interceptors and the raw damage of bombers.

Support Reapers will usually use the Tactical Shield, which allows Imperial fighters to receive the partial benefit of shields from a safe distance. TIE Reapers are very fragile with large hitboxes, making them easy pickings for fighters when isolated. The hitbox of the Reaper is smallest from the sides and largest from above and below, so avoid exposing your dorsal or ventral surfaces.
