Staying in Attack Formation (or Wave 4 Three Ship)

By Skargoth, in X-Wing

I've been looking at the new ships, especially Etahn. Looking at him, he belongs in the back line of a formation, buffing shots. Unless that backline position is superseded by flying with Biggs.

With Biggs.

Oh, that's interesting, they're both PS 5 and Etahn can stay a ship length ahead of Biggs without slowing down. I feel this list has potential, but maybe I'm not adding the best upgrades or third ships to the equation. So the two starting options:

Three Ship

Etahn - 32

DTF - 1

R2-D2 - 4

Hull - 3

Biggs - 25

R5-P9 - 3

Shield - 4

Garven - 26

R2-D6 - 1

VI - 1

Total 100

Four Ship

Etahn - 32

Biggs - 25

Rookie - 21

Rookie - 21

Total 99

Any ideas on how to tweak an Etahn + Biggs build?

I feel like it might be a good idea to buff up as many attacks with Etahn, so the 4 ship might be good. and its safe coming in at 4 ships.

Another choice is Corran Horn, who attacks twice.

Oh, and you have way too much in upgrades on all of your ships in my opinion. Just a hull upgrade for Biggs.

Hobbie + R3-A2 will give you three ships at PS5. You could do the same thing with Chewie + DTF, but then you'd have no room for other upgrades.

Your 4 ship list looks good, I would upgrade a Rookie to a Blue and call it a day.

After Rebel Aces comes out, you can improve this further by getting 2 A wings and a Z95, for a 5 ship build at 99 points.
