A BXX list

By 0Dark, in X-Wing

Hi all

I'm looking to build an A BXX list, with Tycho piloting the A and acting as a fast flanker to the formation of 2 Xs with the B tight behind them.

So, which pilots, upgrades and EPTs offer the best longevity for the A and the best flight coherency for the Xs and B ...... I'm likely to be facing a Doomshuttle and a 4 TIE swarm

Tycho is good wtih Daredevil, Push the Limit or maybe Opportunist. one X you could go with the standard Biggs but have you thought of getting another B for the game? AXBB with Tycho, Biggs, Blue Blue has some potential for good synergy. Keep Biggs behind the Bs all in formation and Tycho on his own.

I'm looking for an additional B for the Bloody Daggers set-up, but local stocks are low ..... May have to resort to (shudder) third party sales on Amazon UK

Actually opportunist is not good on tycho at all. Firstly, it negates his special ability (which you get value out of by abusing talents that require you to suffer stress), but unlike other stress-inducing abilities, opportunist specifically states that you can't use it if you have any stress tokens. Secondly, Tycho has a relatively high PS, so its less likely he's going to have an 'opportunity' to shoot at a tokenless target...

Excellent point.

Tycho with Push is 29. That leaves 71 points. At that point level I would go with PS2 pilots for the remainder, giving you 64 points of ships. That leaves room for two Advanced Sensors and 1 point for initiative or an R-2.

Would you suggest putting the Adv Sensors on the B and one X or on both Xs. Or even the A! Which could potentially be shiny

Advanced Sensors can only go on Lambda Shuttles and B-Wings at this point. |

It's a sensor array, not a ship modification. Which is good, because it's overpowered enough as it is.

Of course! So 1 on my B would make sense, but will look at the Astromechs with the leftover points

I derbed and was thingking 2 B's at one point. So One Advanced Sesors, and from there a few Astromechs? Or perhaps a Stealth device on Tycho.
