Which of these four lists would you pick?

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok so I've got a lot of list ideas running through my head so I've decided to slap them together and see what you fine folk like the best.

Feel free to tear these lists apart and rebuild them however you think would work best.

We've got a big tournament coming up and usually I just throw something together than I think sounds fun, but since I'm broke and currently unemployed I'd really like to do well lol.

List 1:

Boba Fett + Proton Bombs (Love me som P-Bombs) + Rebel Captive/Mara Jade/Recon Spec (WHICH ONE?)

Black Squadron Pilot + Predator x2

Dark Curse + Stealth Device

This list is pretty variable. I was thinking of switching Dark Curse with Howlrunner and using her more like a Biggs to draw fire off of Boba. Or just 3 black squadrons, but I only have two copies of Predator.

List 2:

Scimitar Squadron Pilot + Advanced Proton Torpedoes x2

Omicron Group Pilot + Fleet Officer + Rebel Captive + Sensor Jammer

Academy Pilot x2

I just really wanted to get APTs to work with Fleet officer.

List 3:

Wedge + R5-P9 + Shield Upgrade + Predator

Tycho + A-Wing Test Pilot + Push The Limit + Predator + Proton Rockets

Tarn Mison + R7 Astromech

I initially thought of putting Lone Wolf and a Stealth Device on Tycho, but then the two X-Wings would have to face off against the entire enemy list most likely why Tycho kept his distance... Can you think of a good list with Tycho + Lone Wolf + Stealth Device + Whatever?

List 4:

Keyan Farlander: B-Wing/E2 + Tactitian + Ion Canon + Elusiveness

Dutch Vander + R2+D2 + Ion Canon Turret

Hobbie + R3-A2 + Flecette Torpedoes + Munitions Failsafe

Which of these would you run if you had to choose?

What are the biggest weaknesses in each of these lists? What's the best part of each of these lists?

EDIT:

BONUS LIST:

Han Solo + Jan Ors + Lando Calrissian

Gemmer Sojan + A-Wing Test Pilot + Predator + Stealth Device + Refit

Green Squadron Pilot + Predator + Stealth Device + Refit

I like Gemmer and A-Wings a lot. Han not so much, but I figured he should be able to fly with his buddy Lando, who is one of my favorite crew cards. And Lando and Jan working together means if you reeeeaaaly want some more evades and you roll focuses with Lando you can just convert those to evades. Probably not great but hey.

I would not fly Boba or Han without Engine upgrade. Ever. Other than that one criticism, it feels like you're dumping too many points into situational upgrades and not enough on reliable damage output. Lists 2 and 3 are not tournament viable imo. Scimitar fires too late in the turn and will be toast before those expensive torpedoes blast off; then you've only got two Academy Pilots left which can feasibly do anything. Wedge faces the same problem; what are you going to do when 4-5 TIE Fighters appear in front of him?

When you're writing these lists, you should be thinking:

- How would these ships handle a 58 point Dash build?

- How would they handle a TIE Swarm?

- How would they handle a Phantom?

Right now it kinda feels like all of these builds would struggle against any of the above. You neither have enough firepower or arc-dodging positional ability to stack up against the bigger threats in competitive tournaments at the moment.

id go with the bonus list or tweek list 4:

keyan+fcs+e2 jan ors+VI

1xbandit squad

airen cracken

dutch vander+r2d2+ion cannon

gives you a point for initiative bid

or list 2 drop the shuttle to a simple doom shuttle with fcs and 4x bombers with seismic bombs with two points left over

Advanced Proton Torpedoes on low PS ships is really hard. You will have a hard time getting to fire them.

I think 3 ship Rebels will get pounded by big turret ships.

The first is my favorite. I'd go with Rebel Captive as it works at any range and discourages people from shooting at you.
