Since nobody in our area plays the BBBY Panic Attack build that sees a lot of play recently, I'm curious what it's bad matchups are.

I guess most forms of swarms should be bad, since BBBY can't stress and focus fire on them all at the same time.

I'm especially curious how typical arc dodgers like Soontir perform against that list. I assume as long as he can get out of that range 2 Tactician and get rid of the Y-Wing with stressbot, it should be pretty doable ... or am I missing something?

Thanks a lot, cheers

Panic attack is really rough on Push the limit users. A good player will get a chance to throw at least 1 stress token on an arc-dodger, so if you used PtL already, that typically spells disaster. Soontir has 1 saving grace: he gets a free focus per stress token, so if using him against this type of build, try to position yourself so only 1 stress dealer has a shot on Fel at a time and don't use push the limit unless you know you are entirely out of arc. If Fel takes 2+ stress dealing shots at a time though, he's usually toast.

Swarms do pretty well against this list, as well as any list packing multiple HLCs or similar 4 dice attacks (because they burn down 1 agility targets so fast). An all interceptor (or other arc-dodging ship) can only win if you are able to trade your arc-dodgers for an equal number of b-wings so that by endgame, you have 1 left vs no more than 2 ships. 2 on 1 is good odds for the arc-dodger provided the game doesn't go to time before you kill one of the two.

Swarm is a bad matchup since there are no high value targets to wreck with stress. Soontir could do work, but if he gets in range 2 arc of the y he very well might die next turn.

B-wings, especially Blues, don't like many things:

1. Ions

2. PS3+

3. Stress

4. Large ships in front of them

5. Arc Dodgers

Panic Attack, and Rebel Control in general, don't like to see lists that can handle stress, like yorr, wingman, Keyan, Tycho, Porkins, etc.

This list, although maybe not be uber competitive, I would love to face off against panic attack anytime.

Bs and Ys take all the damage that gets thrown at them so the two dice attacks that are common in swarms are effective against them.

Anything that doesn't need actions.

I've played Panic Attack lists 30+ times and I hate to see Predator, Security Droid, Luke crew, Lone Wolf, Etc.

Swarms aren't so bad as you just focus fire on them as if you weren't a stress build but can occasionally get the bonus of stress.

Ion's are pretty scary.

And I can't tell you how many times I've seen hot dice on blasted turrets. I've literally had all 4 of my ships focus firing on Chewbacca with like 8 stress tokens and I'm only doing 1-3 damage a turn with all my rolls and then Chewie throws back 3 hits naturally and I roll blank on evade. Those games annoy me.
