Hello,

i have a Tournament comming soon and i came up with a wierd list, i find my self wondering if its gonna have a bad time vs the meta so i post it here for all to see

i was thinking with of going

Knave

Knave

Blue

Blue

for 98 points

please tell me what you think.

With all the new stuff out there I tend to prefer High PS builds, but two E-wings shepherding two B-Wings shouldn't be that bad.

I think you'll really have to test it out to find out. What you gain in resilience and agility over a more conventional 4 ship rebel list you lose in Pilot Skill and powerful abilities. I can see the B-wings getting focus-fired down fairly quickly. That is just my initial reaction, without having tried the list you can't know for sure. I think the question really is: are Knaves worth the points over a basic X-wing or a named X wing?

Thats what ive been asking my self too,

i think the E wing is better due to Barrel roll and Evade actions, and the agi 3. b wings are gonna get focust but hey something always will be.

the pilot skill and ability is a factor, i dont like going in without rerolls, but i think from all the 4 ship builds that ive seen this could be a strong one..

List looks quite fun, if you can manage to flank with E-wings. You can add R2 astromech or even Fletchete torpedoe to the mix

Thanks for the comments guys,

i just cant help wondering can a rebel squad do well with out my trusthy YT.

The answer to this question is certainly yes.

As to whether this squad will do well, I'm not a huge fan of naked B-wings and I think you've set up a nasty vulnerability to the upgrade Predator. I think it will have some good matchups, but it will struggle against a couple of things that are pretty prominent right now: "Fat Falcon" lists with a handful of Headhunters are going to be resilient to your attacks and will find your B-wings fairly easy targets, and a well-flown Phantom list won't be playing against you so much as performing surgery on you.

Thanks Vorpal Sword,

i think your right just have a hard time finding a nice list to use with out going cheese

I don't think a falcon is necessarily a bad matchup for this list, although my guess is that chewie will be more problematic than Han. 4 ships with 3 attack have a good chance of stripping shields and then Han is vulnerable to a game-wrecking crit (there's plenty that ruin Han's day). Of course it might be easier said then done against a good player. Interceptors & phantoms will definitely be frustrating to play against unless you can block them...

Thanks Blade_Mercurial

i guess your right sadly like all the meta around the world there is a lot of both of them , im sure il see 1 or 2 falcons, but most of the guys here are Imperials...

so this list might not be the best for me.. question is what is..

i dont rely want to go Bluebacca.. its a bit to much cheese dont you think

If you still want to fly 2 E-wings how about going with

BlackMoon + R2-D6 + VI + EU + AS

Etahn + EU + AS

Red / Blue

I think it would be fun.

Thanks for the Reply

sounds nice, might give this a try
