first torny little help

By shifty33, in X-Wing

so im going to my first tournament in a week. i have been bouncing some lists around and this one i seem to like any idea or help would be greatly appreciated

LEEBO

100 points


PILOTS

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Roark Garnet (26)
HWK-290 (19), Blaster Turret (4), Recon Specialist (3)

"Leebo" (52)
YT-2400 Freighter (34), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5)

If Roark bumps or get blocked he is pretty screwed, but hes really only there to make Leebo kill phantoms. Leebo(I like Dash better) could do with Engine upgrade to help make better use of Push the Limit. I would run Roark naked or put Nien Nunb on him, then upgrade the support fighter

If you give Roark an ICT and Nien Nunb, you could drop the blue and put in Jake Farrel, VI, Refit giving you a slippery hunter.

Standing with a pilot skill of 5, Leebo will have a very hard time keeping enemy pilots out of its donut hole. In that respect, I think Roark might be a bit of a waste (I suspect his ability will mainly be used to help the blue squadron pilot shoot earlier).

Whisper, Echo (even without veteran instinct), every interceptor equal or above royal guard will home in on the YT-2400 and fire at point blank range (that's what we have beens seeing locally for the past week). I suspect that Falcons with engine upgrade will also manage to close in.

I lack experience in how to use the YT-2400 correctly (I destroyed 6 of them so far without much trouble), so I'll suggest something "daring", but which could also be wrong: ditch the Outrider title. If you do that, you'll still be able to use that HLC (and the YT-2400 has 2 interesting K-turns) and Roark will be able to boost Leebo to shoot at phantoms, no matter where they are coming from.

No one has tried that in my neck of the woods, however, so I could be dead wrong.
