Addicted to stress

By thomarum, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello

I have been thing for some time to try to build a squad that just LOVE stress. To get and use stress to their advantage:) Not many to choos from, but I have come up with one 100p list.

Wes Janson (30)

- R2 astromech (1)

Keyan Garlander (43)

- Advanced sensors (3)

- Heavy laser cannon (perhaps a crew upgrade instead. Im not sure) (7)

- Opportunist (4)

Hobbie Klivian (27)

- R5-K6 (2)

(100p)

I have also thought about porkins and ibitsam.

HOW it works:

They will fly in formation and WES will always attack first befor the other two. And this could help out Keyan to use opportunist. The R5-K6 will always make sure that Hobbie can easy get rid of stress. Wes have 1-2 movement that remove stress. So all have stress removal function. So think this squad is not afraid of Mara;) I wonder on if heavy cannon on Keyan could be used to upgrade to a crew memeber.

Any thoughts:)

Keyan like Kyle Katarn on his ship.

Not really. Your stress is already focus for offense, and having focus for defense doesn't really mean much to a 1 Agility ship, unless you're facing a swarm that's shooting you all at once (in which case you're much more likely to be able to use the defensive focus, but that 1 evade probably won't account for a whole lot depending on just how many ships are shooting you).

Its important that I find guys and upgrade that really loves stress and can use stress to their advantage. Does anyone have a alternative build.?

don't forget about the b-wing istib with push the limits and engine upgrade works like peanut butter and chocolate

I put together these "Stress Eater" lists a while ago. They are really fun to fly.

Thats awesome:) I will try them this weekend:)

I should've added in there that you can also swap PtL and Hull Upgrade on Prokins (in either list) for Experimental Interface and Marksmanship. Dials up his offense the tiniest bit by sacrificing a point of Hull, but otherwise plays the same.

How do you best fly this squad? The X and B together and A on the flank.

More or less, yeah. Keyan/Porkins (the version I've flown) are capable of excellent damage output for just two ships, so focusing something down with the two of them will do well. Tycho has insane movement shenanigans, so he's free to dip in and out and tag-team the same target, or just harass whatever might keep Porkins and Keyan from doing their job.
