My friend flies this:
Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Roark Garnet — HWK-290 19
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Hull Upgrade 3
Blue Squadron Pilot — B-Wing 22
Advanced Sensors 3
Tarn Mison — X-Wing 23
R7 Astromechs 2
I have pretty much everything so how would you fly against and beat this list. What would you take?
A Decimator/Phantom build.
Ion Turrets only work out to R2 and two need to land on the Decimator to restrict its movement. The Phantom can still arc dodge even when Roark allows someone to shoot first. The HWK only takes six hits less any good criticals that land on it.
putting chewbacca crew on Roark is a good move
I would think about downgrading fro AS to FCS and putting chewy on the the HWK rather than the hull
Fly a wall of hit points and attack dice into it. Either bring a swarm or something like Biggs and three Blues w/AS. The HWK and the Y-WING aren't going to be dishing out a ton of damage so focus down the B-Wing and Tarn.
Jonus Brothers ( 2 x Delta Defenders w/HLC + Jonus and 4 points of upgrades) could be fun as well. The HLCs with rerolls melts low agility ships and the Defenders have enough agility that it will be hard to keep them ionzied.
I'd give the following list a shot. Gunner makes Tarn + R7 less of a nuisance, Outmaneuver on Kath makes those 1Ag ships easier to fell, and both being large bases mitigates Ion Tokens.
Also the list has 2pts floating for Dauntless or Oicunn or seismic charge.
Kath Scarlet — Firespray-31 38
Outmaneuver 3
Gunner 5
Patrol Leader — VT-49 Decimator 40
Ysanne Isard 4
Gunner 5
Mara Jade 3
Regardless of what list you use, this should be your target priority.
1) Tarn - He's a beast end game, so focus fire him down right away. Plus he's one of two 3 attack ships in this squad, so killing him will reduce the damage against you.
2) Roark - He's the highest PS, plus his ability is killer, also gets rid of one of the two ions, so ioning becomes less of a factor.
3/4) Toss up depending on what squad you have. If you have mostly small ships, especially low agility small ships, go for the y-wing first, otherwise go for the b-wing first.

I'd actually put Roark at the bottom of the list. Once the B-Wing and Tarn are down there aren't really any threats left to buff. He's going to be about as hard to take down as the B-Wing but isn't much of a threat.
I would use
firespray with Kath as pilot and lone wolf , recon specialist.
and
ps8 decimator
rebel captive
isyanne
I've been flying my 4 Tie Bomber list. I would love to get initiative vs. this list. I'd get within Range 3 and TL the B-wing. Then, I'd fire my 2 Assault Missiles at it for the splash damage. After that, I'd see where to best put the Proton Torpedo. I'd like to think that I'd kill at least the B-wing and hurt a lot more. I'd love to use Bombs, but those Ion Turrets means I don't want to get close. Maybe then 5 K-turn behind and fire?
