Help me fix/pick a list for upcoming tourney!

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

I'm pretty new, but I've done alright at tourneys so far. I have always played Corran. I have two lists that I like and can't decide which to play or how good they will perform generally.

List 1:

Corran Horn ptl FCS R2D2

Keyan Farlander ptl EU AdvS Intelligence Agent

Prototype A

The A is just there to try and wreck swarms into losing focus so that Keyan doesn't take a lot of damage getting into range. Once he closes this build is very strong.

List 2:

Corran ptl FCS r2d2

Jake Farrell ptl vi refit

2X prototype A

I haven't run A-wings too often yet. Am I right in assuming that Jake can ptl and still focus/boost as his second action?

Keyan needs the E2 mod to take Intelligence agent, so he can't take EU as well.

Jake can't take his free boost/barrel roll if he uses ptl to get focus for his second action, because he'll have a stress. You need to go focus/free action/then push the limit.

ETA: Turns out I am wrong about the PtL interaction, and you can take the boost/barrel roll before you receive the stress. You live and learn :)

Oh right thanks. I actually run SJ instead of AS/IA.

2nd one, it's a lot weirder
