What are the Nasty Lists? Need Practice

By heychadwick, in X-Wing

Hi All,

The people that I get to play against don't usually play with all the latest meta. In fact, I've only fought against a Fat Han at the last Store Championship a couple of weeks ago. I almost trapped it, but he got away. I did lose, but I think if I had more practice against it, I could beat it.

So, since the local guys and I don't usually play the nasty lists....we don't quite know what they are. For example, I believe the most common Fat Han list is:

Han Solo w/ Luke crew, C-3P0, Falcon title, Engine Upgrade

3 x Bandit Z-95's

We have all the cards, but just never flew them. Is that right?

OK.....we have done Phantoms. I've flown against Phantoms and know good lists. Is there a "standard" double Phantotm list to play against?

What about Dash Rendar lists? I don't know where to start with him. I haven't really read anything up on him as I've got no interest in flying him. I hate that I want the cards in his box, though.

Decimator builds? I'm sure there are a couple. Which ones are "standard"?

I know a Tie Swarm is to be expected. Any other types?

Thanks!

The results from the TC Open are pretty useful for checking out what some of the early wave 5 builds have been.

Here are some Dash builds. For Decimator, Chiraneau and Kenkirk are definitely the most used pilots.

Poke around at more of the latest tourny data to see what more you can expect.

Argh! I can't hit those sites while at work. It's listed as gambling. Thanks, I'll see if I have time at home.

Ah my bad, have another subdomain on there that is focused on fantasy football which is probably causing that...

Store championship a couple of weeks ago? Wha?

The top 3 I hate playing against:

1) Fat Han with 3 Z's

2) Super Dash with Corran & R2-D2

3) Rear Admiral with Whisper/Echo & VI/ACD

Store championship a couple of weeks ago? Wha?

A new store did it early.

The top 3 I hate playing against:

1) Fat Han with 3 Z's

2) Super Dash with Corran & R2-D2

3) Rear Admiral with Whisper/Echo & VI/ACD

1) I assume it's like the Fat Han list I posted in the first thread?

2) What is a Super Dash? What upgrades?

3) What do you give the Rear Admiral?

Thanks guys!

Here, since you can't get to this site here are some screenshots:

Imperial (100pts)

Def Com 6

TIE Fighter (30pts)

2x- PS 4 - Black Squadron Pilot (15pts) Veteran Instincts (1pts)

TIE Interceptor (44pts)

2x- PS 6 - Royal Guard Pilot (22pts)

Lambda-Class Shuttle (26pts)

PS 4 - Captain Yorr (24pts) Tactician (2pts)

For practice I would try a Decimator phantom list to play against. Those are nasty and take an adjustment to playing style

I'm not sure if my main opponent actually has the Decimator yet. Or the Outrider. Mine are stuck waiting for the S&V to come in at MM.

To be honest, I've got experience vs. Phantoms alone. I need to practice against all the other ships. Still, having a Decimator & Phantoms is something I'm sure to face. Thanks.
