Please help me with my first local tourny list.

By Draheal, in X-Wing

Hello everyone,

i recently started playing X wing and ive been enjoying a few games

this weekend im going out for my first tournament nothing special just a small local one to get me started and meet some more Players and hopfully get a few games in.

i did buy a lot of rebels i got every ship once and by now have 5 x wings, 2 starters and 1 expension and yes a rebel transport got me there.

now i did realy good before wave 4 hit the shelves and now i dont know what to bring

Falcon seems to be the most forgiving of a new player so i want to make a 100p list

so far ive come up with this list:

Chewbacca 54

Expose,Gunner,Tactician,Falcon title

Biggs 28

R2-F2

Bandit pilot 18

Assault missiles, Failsafe.

=100.

Please tell me what you think and would do differently

You have quite a nice collection there! :)

I don't play really any ships in the rebel fleet besides e-wings and a-wings BUT my buddy likes the YT does well with it.
This weekend is also my first local tournament so I think the best advice for our lists is to have fun. Learn and win if we can, but mostly have fun.

Good luck!

If you only do one thing... take off expose. A 3 red attach with focus is better than 4 red with nothing to modify. You can put on Push the Limit to save a point and then be able to focus and evade (using the title card.) R2F2 is risky on Biggs, green dice aren't the most reliable, so taking that off and using the extra point left over from Chewie could give you some more options.

No matter what you decide, Fly Causal!

When you only have 3 ships and one that dies as fast as Biggs will, I think you'll really want Gunner on Chewie. that really helps against a bad roll or going against high agility targets. If your local meta is heavy on the Rebel side, Gunner is less useful as it's easier to hit a 1 or 2 agility target. Tactition is only useuful if you have your opponant in your arc, so I'd drop that with a turret on Chewie. Simply doing that makes him cost 51, leaving you with 49 points. You could get a a PS4 skill X and B wing and the B wing can have advanced sensors. I know this goes away from your original build having Biggs and missles on a Z95, but overal you'll throw more red dice this way. Chewie is easir to hit now without Biggs, but if players ignore an X and B wing, you'll do some very solid damage with those ships.

i think there are a lot more Empire players out there,

So..

Chewbacca: 51

PtL,Gunner,Falcon.

Red Sq Pilot: 23

Dagger sq Pilot: 26

Fcs.

100 Points.

i dont own advance sadly.. so how about this build

Edited by Draheal

I'd suggest keeping Biggs as he ensures that Chewie (and your B-wing) is around longer and then drop the dagger to a blue. It's worth the two points, imo, to keep those two alive long and make sure your opponents don't focus fire Chewie early.

your second two lists both seem pretty solid imo.

good luck at the tourney!

How about this:

Chewie: Draw Their Fire and Gunner

Biggs: R2-D2

Blount: Assault Missiles and Veterans Instincts

Chewie and Biggs can tool around being codependent with Chewie taking crits for his buddy so he has more staying power to be annoying. Blount can break up swarms.

Thanks for the reply everyone,

so im now down to 3 lists i could run.

not sure what would do best. im pretty sure that there will be more Imps then rebs and that there will be a ion/stress list in there too..

makeing the falcon to defencive doenst work sins my other ships will not to the dmg they need to win me the game, so maybe il just go full offence for 3 rounds...die after that but try and take out as much as i can.

Thanks agian for all the help,

if you see a better option form the ships i have in my siggy please pm me or post it here :)

I can't help myself....

Draheal, you need gunner in that list, yes or yes. You only have 3 ships, one is going to be destroyed pretty fast, and the other doesn't have the staying punch.

You bought an E Wing but don't have the advanced sensors card?

is it in that kit too ? i thought it only came with the Shuttle.. if so i retract my statment :)

Edited by Draheal

How valuable do you see assault mizsiles, vi, and r2-d2 (on something that will die in 2 turns max.) As well as blounts pilot ability and ps?

Thats 15 points of upgrades..... or, in other words, another ship.

You need to ask which you think you would get mpre value out of.

thats the question that keeps me up at night , so to speak, i havent playd that manny games yet so i dont realy know yet, only did 4 games with wave 4 and it whent both ways, had some nice luck with Corran. but i dont think the E wing is better than the Yt-1300.

i thought about Chewie and 2 x wings. but i dont know if thats better.. its pretty hard to find a list that works agains, stress/ion, Tie defenders/phantoms and swarms

Maybe this too:

Chewbacca + Gunner

Biggs

Kyle Katarn + Blaster Turret + Recon Specialist

100pts

Biggs Darklighter (25)

R4-D6 (1)


Chewbacca (42)

Predator (3)

Gunner (5)


Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)


Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)


PS - Switch the two bandits for a red squadron Xwing, if you don't have the 2 Z's.


In that list, Chewbacca actually has decent firepower to take advantadge that you are using biggs.

Edited by DreadStar

I question the necessity of Biggs when he is coupled with a ship as tanky as Chewie. To me, the point of Biggs is to draw fire from ships of the same, or lesser, toughness that are your damage-dealers. Aside from a missile salvo, the Z-95 isn't really a damage-dealer. It is a TIE and we all know that the role of a TIE is to die a glorious, fiery death.

How bout this:

Chewie: Draw Their Fire and Gunner

Garvin: R2-D2

Rookie: R2 (or naked to try and get initiative)

Chewie can absorb crits and all of your ships are kind of tanky and they all have 3 attack dice.

Guys,

i just wanted to let everyone know what happend. so heres my post

hardly anyone showd up to this local shop tourny so that was a bit of a let down.

i only got to play 2 games.. but we had a lot of fun.

i won both of my games and got the medel :) and 4 promo's very limted prices due to the small turn out..only 4 of us!

i was the only one to win both my games so first place

i ended up going with:

Chewie: 51

Predator,Gunner,Falcon title

Tarn Mison:23

Garven Dries: 26

= 100.

anyways thanks for the advice !

Congrats on the win anyways. Hope you guys had fun!

This is one I've been toying with..

BlueBacca on Crack

Chewy

-Gunner

-PTL

-Falcon Title

Cracken

-Assault Missiles

-Failsafe

Blue Squadron

-Fire Control Systems

Alternate version has C3PO on Chewy and no FCS and Failsafe. Its a pretty solid list with average but very reliable attack dice thanks to FCS, Gunner and Crackens ability. The synergy works very well IMO.
