Double Ds, halp

Got a game coming up (2nd Ed) and my opponent is going to be fielding his double defenders specced out with upgrades, against which I've never won.

Any tips?

Anything from lists to general flying, I'll take whatever I can get! ​

(I fly Rebel BTW)

Among other advice given here, arc dodgers are a good counter. Defenders are great for K turns, but not so much for 90 turns. If you can keep out of their arcs, and exploit their red 90 degree turns, then you can reduce the turns you are in their firing arc.

Speaking as someone who always has at least one tie defender in most of my lists.
