Now keep in mind this is just what you can build with 2 core sets and a Y-Wing kit so if it seems off, that's why.

Anyways, the obvious plan is to stick together and let Biggs eat laser and try to max out Artoo. The Torps give us a much needed ranged punch and with a bit more efficiency than normal thanks to Dutch. Dutch is equipped to keep up with the X-Wing dial and hopefully ionize some stuff. Poe hangs out grabbing free TLs and nomming focus tokens. In the event of stress, Wired acts as a stopgap while the BB8 droid makes the destress move next turn more potent.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to notice that combo for Poe, but just how good is he? I think he does well but then again I havent tried him I this setup yet and not with these squadmates.

Any thoughts? How will this fare against a mixed Tie swarm like the one I currently run (2 core sets and a bomber, lol)?

While Biggs is and always will be an annoying powerhouse, I think I'd leave him in the box for this one.

Ah that is a good one too, I have been flying against Like for awhile now but the upgrade combo is a new take on the trio. I will have to try that.

I have been running Rhymer with Adrenaline Rush and much the same load. I like DC but I feel like his ability syncs best with Night Beast. I have also been using Epsilon guy for destress but it hasn't come up much really. I tend to push the swarm out into groups.

While Biggs is and always will be an annoying powerhouse, I think I'd leave him in the box for this one.

This flies everyone at PS8, gives the repositioning to the Y-Wing which is nice, lets Poe stress himself with nice maneuvers triggering Wired and then go green to get a focus token.

Luke is just plain old Luke, difficult to finish off.

Probably this as the Empire list:

I like this Poe/Luke list. All 3 of your ships get to shoot very early in the round, and I think the proton torps you had in your original build were just dead weight. In my area no one uses torpedoes. I wouldn't use torps unless I also added the munitions failsafe, otherwise the chances of scoring zero hits for 4 points are too high.

Yeah, ordnance gets a bad rap because of its shaky reliability, but I think it's more of a technique thing. Sure you can go balls out and grab Munitions (Failsafe or extra) but my idea here is a little more involved.

I have run the triple Ace list and it is good, but I played this list again the other night and Biggs is such a pain in my hyperdrive that I lost. Shoot me shoot me! Dammit Biggs! Get the hell outta the way! Urgh!

The idea behind the Torps, Dutch and really the whole list was synergy. If Dutch hands out free TLs then Poe can focus and so too can Biggs. A torp attack with focus is in my view a much better way to use munitions.

Mind you... I'm still pretty new so, this could just be me spitballing about my very tiny meta, read: my wife and I.

Small changes id suggest to your list. Keep biggs cheap as he might be the first one out. With dutchs target lock to shoot torpedoe, poe gets 1 focus to crit from proton, 1 focus to hit with poe ability, and 1 blank from guidance as he won't need it if he's at range 1 of biggs. Dutch will follow up with his proton probably on same target. Then just keep biggs alive and take advantage of Dutch ion. As Bb88 doesn't work when you're clearing stress I'd prefer r2d2 and wired to open up kturns behind ionized targets
