Rookie looking for help

By Dark Smog, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Posted at

Having just started the game I'm looking to go to my FLGS Tournament and need help with a list.

This is what I came up with

Yt-2400

Eaden Vrill, ion missile, heavy laser cannon, mercenary co-pilot

X-wing

Red Squadron pilot, plasma torpedoes and BB-8

X-wing

Biggs,Plasma torpedoes

The method to my madness was to use biggs to deflect attacks from the yt-2400 and have the other xwing, flying interference with the barrel roll ability from bb-8.

Okay now for your critiques :)

Looks good to me. Although when I've seen YTs fly with two X-Wings usually the X-Wings form their own element. With this Biggs will need to stay near your YT.

Why Eaden Vrill? You have no way to stress the oponent. So if you won't use his ability you can as well take Wild Space Fringer. Also his ability only works on primary weapon attacks.

I've once used this list on a tournament and made 3rd place:

Eaden Vrill (32)
Intelligence Agent (1)
"Hobbie" Klivian (25)
R3-A2 (2)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Tactician (2)
B-Wing/E2 (1)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)
Total: 100
The combination of R3-A2 with Eaden Vrill is really nice. But that's been a couple of waves ago. The squad definitely needs an update.
Maybe a TLT Y-Wing with R3-A2...

I have 3 k-wings, 3 x-wings 3 y-wings, as well as 4 interceptors and 4 tie fighters. So not really sure what I should take
