List Advice for Regionals

By JeffG, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am looking for some advice on a couple of lists that I am debating on bringing to regionals this weekend. Here are my options:

List 1

Kath Scarlet (38)

Lone Wolf (2)

Recon Specialist (3)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

IG88-B (36)

Predator (3)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

Autothrusters (2)

Total: 100

List 2

Dash Rendar (36)
Push the Limit (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Nien Nunb (1)
Outrider (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Total: 100
Which list do you think would perform better against the current meta? What will these lists struggle against? your feedback ill be greatly appreciated as this will be my first ever tournament and I don't want to bring something that will get completely blown away!

Hi Jeff. welcome aboard, your lists look solid enough,(perhaps,watch out for swarms,Reb or Emp) the question is, are you comfortable flying either? Have you flown them alot in practice? If you answered yes, then I wish you a hardy good luck in your wkend tourney. If not, then, alot of the good people on this forum will tell you, go with something you know. This is very good advice. Screw the meta...play with what you know and if anything...have fun doing it! Also a great way to learn.

Cheers mate!

What shadowmax said. You can netdeck any list you like, but if you don't know how to fly it then you're not going to get very far.

Hey Jeff,

I like the first list more. It should perform fine if you're familiar with big ships.

My suggestions would be to drop one inertial dampener and swap out Recon Spec for K4. Then using the extra point to upgrade Lone Wolf to Outmaneuver.

Your list should do fine against most 2-ship lists, but you'll struggle against Soontir and Interceptor lists in general. Lone Wolf becomes harder to use when you're trying to cover blind spots, and you'll want your ~50-point Kath to be able to pump out decent damage from the front if your opponent chooses to chase your IG first (which most will, I think).

Yes. K4 Security should be on pretty much any Scum Firespray except maybe Boba.

For the second list I like this variant:

Dash + PTL + Mangler + Kyle + Outrider

Blue Sqd. + FCS X 2

I call it Dash has the Blues. You lose a bit of offense and maneuverability from Dash, but it makes both Blues a good bit deadlier with FCS.
