The Xwing's major weakness is it's durability- I'm trying to patch that with the plentiful damage mitigating astromech slots.

Hobbie 25 (removes stress when spending target locks)

-R4D6 1 (turns damage over 2 into stress)

Tarn 23 (Target locks anyone shooting at her)

-R7 Astromech (can spend a target lock to force attacker to reroll)

Rookie Pilot 21

-R2D2 4 (restore shields on green maneuver)

Rookie Pilot 21

-R5P9 3 (turns unspent focus into restored shields)

I'm not sure what the point of R4D6 on Hobbie is. I guess you want the stress gone, but it's actually very likely that you'll have multiple tokens on the poor bastard especially given how hyper modified everything is. Imo, you'd be far better off with Biggs soaking those shots (and he pisses the hell out of Dash and Aggressors, it's wonderful ).

Tarn's awesome

imo, X-wings are far too fragile on their own for shield regen to do make sort of meaningful difference. They're money on Luke because his ability helps negate incoming damage to the point where he might live long enough to abuse the regeneration, and similarly on Corran (dat evade). Luke's also about the only pilot that will reliably not use his focus unless he needs to on the offense, so R5-P9 is basically his and his alone unless you have Garven helping out.

Biggs + R7 - 27

Red Squadron + R7 - 25

Tarn Mison + R7 - 25

Rookie Pilot + R7 - 23

Hobbie would also synergize well with an R7.

problem is you want the focus

an X-wing without focus is a victim to his naked green dice, hence why Tarn is so awesome with R7

Luke might also have game with it

No, you want the defensive R7 TL, it's better than a focus on 2 agility dice.

not better enough to make an xwing worth playing over a b-wing

when you stack that focus with R7, though, then you get Tarn levels of silly. Luke could potentially imitate that.

4x R7 is about the best you can make a 4 x wing build. It's fairly decent against 2 ship lists, as you have enough firepower and staying power to kill one of them, and then once you only have to face one ship you dump TL's and grind it down.

I don't have much to work with, I'm stuck with 4 X Wings lol.

Luke 28

-R7 2

-Determination 1

Tarn 23

-R7 2

Red Squadron pilot 23

Rookie Pilot 21

100 points

Going off the advice in this thread, the squad tries to rush down one turret, and Luke and Tarn have better odds of surviving for a 1v2 at the end.
