Tournament advice

By Felswrath69, in X-Wing

Opinion:

I'm playing in a tournament tomorrow and was of course obsessing over my list.

I usually run Ints cause I like zipping around the board, but 1) no aces and 2) let's be honest, rebel tanks are more consistent in tournaments. I don't just want to copy the XXBB list, I want to do something a little different, but successful. I was thinking this:

Lando, PTL, Niem Numb, Falcon

Blue Squadron, advanced sensors

Dagger Squadron, Fire control system

Lots of firepower, some tanks, some boons lend to one another.

Thoughts?

First off, running a Falcon without a Gunner is generally considered a bad move. The interaction is just stupidly strong.

Secondly, I'd try to get my B-Wings to have the same build, for internal consistency's sake.

Thirdly, I'm a bit leery of running a Falcon with B-Wing escorts: they all have the same weaknesses.

So, keeping your Lando + BB style, I'd go with:

Lando Calrissian

+ Gunner

+ Millennium Falcon Title

Blue Squadron Pilot

+ Advanced Sensors

Blue Squadron Pilot

+ Advanced Sensors

50-25-25 split.

I would play the Interceptor list you like to play. You are familiar with it and most importantly you like playing it.

This is my tournament advice to you. (The last sentence should be spoken in a Yoda like voice)

"My tournament advice to you, this is, hmm?"

Kill your opponents ships. That is all.

play a list u r familiar with. playing something unfamiliar would be a huge mistake.

if u outfly them, you should beat them if the dice Gods dont abandon you.

I would cut the falcon title for Nien, but otherwise, this list is pretty good.

I thought about that, but going that much farther than your escorts is fairly unnecessary, and I like having my falcons last as long as possible.

What about:

Lando: Niem, PTL, Falcon, Gunner

Biggs

Rookie

Biggs protects Lando, Lando hands out actions like candy and gets two tries with gunner and a free evade every round or target lock while protected by Biggs.

Or I was thinking:

Soontir PTL Stealth

Turr PTL Stealth

Shuttle with Jendon, FCS, Gunner and Weapons engineer.

Shuttle parks and hands out target locks to Soontir and Turr Flanking.

The problem with that is any swarm build with a lot of shots is gonna lay into you hard. Two attack dice can hit all those ships.

Two attack dice can hit which list?

Biggs + a Falcon is a great start to a list, but you'll have to fly well to keep Biggs protected (and at range 3 preferably). I think Lando + Biggs will work well, just be sure to focus fire and keep Biggs alive! Get Biggs out of arcs at all costs, even forgoing Biggs's attack, as that will force your opponent to spread fire.

The Dagger should run Adv Sensors, imo. Higher PS sobyoi can make a better decision.
