2-Ace Lists. Who do you reach for in this meta?

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

The only true 2-ace list is Miranda/Corran :P

https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v3!s!139:135,126,-1,-1,63,138,137:-1:16:;75:18,44,-1,3:-1:3:

Something like this. Haven't had the guts to run it, though, seems very risky.

Looks good to me, i have a very similar list but not yet adapted to TLTs, so it runs FCS on corran. But yes, it's very risky. It really does okay against Tie swarms. I had no conner net but some Seismics and Clusters. I scored good hits with that and killed Ties pretty fast, and endgame Corran just mops them up. Against other 2 ships its also nice, but if you run into something like 4Bs or 4Y TLTs, **** is going to hit the fan really quick.

I've been running

Corran Horn

R2-D2

Engine

PTL

Advanced Torps

Fire control

Poe Dameron

R5-P9

Autothrusters

PTL

Plasma Torps

Weapons Guidance

I ran this minus Torps, Engine and Guidance, and added a Prototype with AT. I was able to beat 4Y TLT with that, as well as a Tie Swarm (Poe just killed one Tie a turn for 3 subsequent turns while Corran was focused and refused to die... pretty lucky win though) and Vader, Alozen, Defender so far.

Poe and Corran are a really good team and if you can disengage one when he is hurt, it's like if the enemy was playing against 2 more ships he has to chew through than you actually have due to the shield regeneration. I think my record was against the Vader list where i recharged some 8 shields. In the end it was Vader vs my two full health ships. Even with better PS there is no way in hell he could have killed one of the 2.

Edit: Oh yea and i love Palpmobile as well. It makes the opponents target selection an impossible task, that's why its so **** fun. Kill Palpy? Yeah have fun with Vader biting your heels. Kill Aces? Yeah you can always try but old wrinkleface will use the dark side all the **** time then. I like the version with Soonts and Vader best but there are certainly other 2 Aces that run well with it.

I'm liking R2-D2 Corran with R5-P9 Poe. Can either kit them out with torpedoes or leave enough points to add in a Z-95.

I am actually liking the Tie FO aces because they're cheap and leave room for several other ships in the list, too. The inquisitor will also be a common pick for me once wave 8 comes out. For rebels I love Keyan and Jake, they're great and can also have budget builds.

Laetin A'shera and Graz the Hunter. ... What?

Okay, okay. They're just for fun. When I really want to get things done with 2 aces, it's gotta be IG-88B and IG-88C.

I tend to do 2 Aces with a Jack. Something like Whisper-Fel-Tempest, Vader-Fel-Sigma, Whisper-Vader-Saber, et c.

Nine-Nine-No, if you like.

I've also been considering the Crazy 8s (Echo - Jax - Eclipse) and the Jackpot ( 777, or Whisper - Phennir - Stele), but that's a WHOLE 'nother kettle of fish.

I like Psycho Tyco, Jake Ferrell, and a TLT warden squad pilot (to act as bait while Jake and Tyco do their thing).

I'm 9-1 right now in store tournament events with Dash/Miranda. I have beaten TLTs. HLC tears them up, but it does require you to be careful with Dash at how many TLTs you end up in range 2-3 of. My loss was two bro-bots, which did bad things to me. I did 5 damage the entire game and 2 of that was with the Nets.

The current form of it is:

Dash + LW + Chewie + HLC/Title (54)

Miranda + C3p0 + TLT + Connor Net + Extra Munitions + ADV Slam.

I just don't really feel the need to go with 2 high PS aces. I'm digging 1 high PS ace, a middle PS person, and 2-3 generics.
