Need help with a decision...

By cubby09, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I used two lists this weekend in a casual before my tournament this coming weekend. Both were ran with a lot of success. Which would you rather play in competition?

1. 3Xblue + accuracy corrector

gold+stressbot+title+ion

This list is super tanky like the 4 blues and a bandit but it ignores poor dice rolling

2. Dark Curse

OGP+EU+gunner+tac+FCS

Kath+mangler+EU+rebel captive+VI

This list was dealing out stresses like M&M's. It went against a Turr/Soontir?Whisper list. Obvioulsy it did well against it but how competitive is it really?

The problem with list 1 is that 3dice F actually has a statistical average of 2.25 hits. Meaning: more than 2. So, accuracy Corrector is overkill safety. Plus it costs 3 points each. NO. Take B/E tactician or Ion Cannon instead. Or even Flechette Cannon.

Thus, list 2 is better. List 2 also seems more fun and a good idea done right.

However, if you were to use the true Panic Attack build. Bs with Tact, then the Panic Attack is the "better build".

ya I hear what youre saying.

the idea with list two is that I wanted an imperial control list that was my own (tired of seeing world's lists at local tournaments). i understand why lists like panic attack and Buzz are popular...they work but it gets old seeing all the same lists all the times. SO while my lists have elements of those popular lists there are unique elements. When I played list two the guy said that he though Kath would be the biggest threat. I was hoping that would be my opponents' thought when encountering this list because its really the OGP that can put a hurt on

by the way dark curse got one shotted at range three through an asteroid onthe first pass :(
