[Rebel] Modiying a Classic Build with Rebel Aces

By jamios, in X-Wing

Hey Guys,

I really like the classic build consisting of ;

  • biggs (25)
  • Gold + ICT + Stress bot ( 25)
  • 2 blues + Advanced sensors (50)

I was thinking of either of the following options.

Offensive

Replace one of the blues with Gemmer Sojan + Proton Rockets (25) Ideally take a ship turn one

Defensive

Remove Advanced sensors on of the blues for Crew and Jan Ors (25) Help biggs stay alive and can use this ability on other 3 ships after.

What are your thoughts?

Stress bot on a Y could be a fun combo, but it's as effective as you may think. Even with the ICT, the defender still has to be in the front arc. That means you're going to have trouble keeping stuff in arc and get rid of the stress on your Y.

Also just because some people make this mistake, Proton Rockets have a max of +3 dice from agility, so even if Gemmer gets the +1 he can't apply it to the proton rockets.

The Y doesn't have to (and shouldn't) stress someone every turn. Once an enemy ship is stressed just ion it every turn and it can never lose that stress.

EDIT;

If I'd kick someone from this list it would be Biggs. The other ships you have are pretty though and won't die in a single volley of Fire. Biggs only helps your opponent to focus fire on the ship with the least health to start with. What this list needs is a good end game ship. I'm a fan of Tarn+R7, but an Awing would also be good. I'd advise PTL Jake over Gemmer with Proton Rockets.

Lets see If I got this right stress bot = R3-A2 right?

Could also do

Tarn Mison (25)
X-Wing (23), R7 Astromech (2)
Roark Garnet (26)
HWK-290 (19), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Jan Ors (2)
Blue Squadron Pilot (25)
B-Wing (22), Advanced Sensors (3)
Blue Squadron Pilot (24)
B-Wing (22), Fire-Control System (2)
you lose the stress but you get the ps 12 from Roark and Jan can still give your b's evades. You could also keep Tarn as wedge
