Store Championship list

By duder, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm in a store championship tomorrow and i'm between these 2 lists;

Keyan Farlander (34) B-Wing (29), Fire-Control System (2), Push the Limit (3)

Etahn A’baht (35) E-Wing (32), Veteran Instincts (1), Fire-Control System (2)

Airen Cracken (19)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

or

Dark Curse (16)
“Echo” (40) TIE Phantom (30), Rebel Captive (3), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Kath Scarlet (43) Firespray-31 (38), Veteran Instincts (1), Ysanne Isard (4)
I like the idea of having 4 ships and sometimes i tend to fly the phantom a bit too agressive
Thoughts?

I like the rebel build a lot. I would probably tinker with it to get a better ept for Etahn though. Moving from ps 5-7 doesn't seem worth the slot.

If I remove VI, what would you suggest?

Well if you're set on the pilots you got you could always drop VI and FCS for PTL. I often find fcs a bit underwhelming. In the same spirit is likely go stay on target and advanced sensors on keyan. That way you always get am action and you always have stress.

But I like the way you have it now, both guys are 7 so I see the value. Having cracken help trigger ptl in the combat can alleviate key an being blocked issues.

Actually my plan was for Cracken was to be able to give Etahn a second action and the Bwing would be off to the side on its own

i think pilot skill 7 is still a good choice to have

biggs is generally likely to show up at most tournament settings due to his ability to control who people have to fire apon. and that pilot skill 7 can be the difference between biggs shooting back or not

I like Etahn with Adv Sens, R2 Astro, EU and PtL. Use AS, double action, stress, pick a speed 2 move, clear stress. Great mobility for keeping your arc pointed in the right direction.

i still see him occasionally

he's not nearly as popular as he once was, but he's still around enough

If someone wanted to run Biggs today what upgrades should he have?

I like R7-T1 on any astromech slot. You need to be in the arc for Etahn to do his mojo, might as well get a free boost out of it too.

PtL is perfect on the Keyan. I am also indifferent on the free target lock but then again its free.

VI is the most used upgrade for a reason.

Those are my thoughts.
