Which list would you Fly?

By Russw, in X-Wing

Hi All,

Just after some feedback on a couple of lists, which one would you fly and why? What would you change if anything?

List One

"Hobbie" Klivian (25)

Rookie Pilot (21)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Fire Control System (2)

Ion Cannon (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Fire Control System (2)

Ion Cannon (3)

100 Points

List Two
Chewbacca (42)
Push the Limit (3)
Nien Numb (1)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Fire Control System (2)

Ion Cannon (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Fire Control System (2)

Ion Cannon (3)

I play in a Rebel heavy Meta where the Ion cannon should do wonders

So thoughts?

I think the hobbie and rookie are a better list, so list 1

List 1 looks stronger to me. I'm not sure why you have gone for a naked Hobbie though, I would consider a different pilot if you can't find the points to give him R3-A2 or PTL.

I think if you want to run a Falcon well it needs Expert Handling or an Engine.

No flechet torpedoes or R3-A2? (You have Hobbie, so I know you also have those upgrades because they are in the same pack.)

Stress control helps you get the most out of your ions and visa versa because when zapped they don't clear the stress token. There is just great synergy with stress and ion tokens try it out you might find it good even against that pesky "Echo"

Would Tarn Mison with R7 Astromech be better?

I could drop FCS of both blues to give me the points needed, but feel FCS is a good match to the Ion

I think Biggs would fit the slot well instead of "Hobbie"

First list but with a significant change. Replace hobbie with tarn mison and an r7 droid. Same point cost but way better IMHO.

Tarn 23 points + r7 2 points= 25 points

Hobbie= 25 points

No need to drop fcs.
