Possible Regional List

By TheArtfulDodger, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am looking for feed back on my current list for my area Regionals.

Han: Push the Limit, Recon Specialist, Jan Ors, Millennium Falcon, Engine Upgrade.

Luke: Lone Wolf, R2-D2, Shield Upgrade.

Points: 97 currently

Now This is a very defensive idea designed to just grind down. Now on a time limit tournament game I can see 2 problems.

1) Not putting out enough damage each turn to get more than a modified win.

2) Stressing out Han and loosing the ability to take advantage of the extra focus\evade combo.

What are your thoughts?

With Jan Ors and Recon Specialist you don't need the Falcon Title so you should free up 1 more point. I'm assuming you will not fly Luke close enough to use Jan Ors on him and with Recon and Jan ors, Han gets focus and evade without needing the Falcon title which would only give you 1 evade.

Proton Torpedoes are 4 points and you can add those to Luke.

I have thought of a similar build:

Han w/ Predator, C3P0, Gunner, falcon title & engine upgrade = 62

Luke w/ Lone Wolf, R2-D2 & engine upgrade = 38

You need engine upgrade on Luke. without it, he cannot dodge arcs and gets focussed to death. R2-D2 + his ability is good at stopping 1 or 2 shots against him, but once there are 3 or more, he dies. Luke also won't be fast enough to escape IG88, any large base with engine upgrade or interceptors, but on the plus side, his durability gets even better at range 3, so as long as you can keep some distance, he might be okay. The biggest problem with the list is damage output. Han is okay, but having some 4 dice attacks would be better so you have a chance to take something out quickly early on. Perhaps Dash would be better paired with Luke?

Dash w/ PtL, title, HLC, Kyle & engine = 58

Luke as above plus a proton torpedo = 42

That at least adds some offensive punch, although you still have to be careful not to get either ship focussed on. Luke is actually a good x-wing to carry a proton torpedo, because of his ability, he's not afraid to take TL as his action as long as he isn't likely to get hit too hard (then you'd want to boost out of an arc or two if possible).

Awesome thanks for the feedback guys.

I like that list Blade I might try it

You need engine upgrade on Luke.

This is truth.

I am going to try Blades build tomorrow night at the club. I am hoping for some good results.

The autoceptor lists scare me a little
