Stressful Regeneration (poe/Miranda/stressbot)

T-70 X-Wing: · Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

· R5-P9 (3)

Autothrusters (2)

K-Wing: · Miranda Doni (29)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Tactician (2)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

· R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

This idea came from watching worlds, specifically Pheaver. I am no where near the astroid dodging formation flying ace that he is, so I figured I'd lower the ship count a bit. Basically dropped the z95 to upgrade the tlt turret Y into miranda, and swapped r2d2 for r5p9 to get tactician on her (Bonnar). I do realize the firepower goes down a bit, and lose the blocker... but what are your thoughts otherwise?

maybe bump up the droid to R2D2

downgrade miranda to Esege ( to share the focus...could also keep r5p9 for this pilot ability)

Was pretty much the build I was looking at for this weekend myself... I ran Poe with Predator and Jake (A-Wing) in place of the Y-Wing last time and it did well enough... Curious what is missing from this. I suspect it will have a hard time dealing with TIE swarms or frankly anything with 3 green dice before they tag you...

Ive been running this exact list for a little while, and I was pleased with how conceptually similar it was to Paul's World's winning list.

I called it My Little Poeni: Friend, Stress is Magic

Been having good luck with it displaced? Any glaring weaknesses?

So, I did get to give this a list a go tonight, and holy smokes it performed. Obviously a 1 game sample can be flawed, but it sure worked out nice. I played against a Echo/Deathrain/Adv(AC) list, and man those particular ships do not enjoy stress (except the AC Advanced, which doesn't care much offensively, at least). I really would love to get r2d2 back... but not at the cost of Tactician. 6 stress delivered by it in the game, definately a nice add.

Echo is a poor dude with 6 skill

Deathrain scares only Fel

You need some more games, against Turrets and against Arcdodgers.

Maybe tlt is scary, but not too worried about arc dodgers and fat turrets. Having 2tlts and heaps of stress will eat through turrets, plus AT poe. And vs arc dodgers Poe beats their PS, and if they get stressed they're done.

Haha

I ran exact same list

Initialy I had tried Blount with ion missiles but out of 4 tries with that didn't win.

Lost 3 tines against bossk and two tlt ywings and once to my buddy Deathrain

Switched out Blount for the ywing and won

Was flying against Deathrain and 3 advanced with Accuracy corrector last night

I like this list, but instead of marinda another y, and a z would be nice...oh wait

Taking this exact list to a local casual tournament today. I'll make sure to get a battle rep up.

I'd be very interested to hear how people have done with this list, as it's very similar to ones I've been making too.

Well the problem I see is it can have very low dmg output.

While I did win with it, it did take me longer than I wanted to destroy my opponent ships.

Competitively I don't know if this list can destroy enough pts before time is called.

The ship that will likely die first is the Y Wing.

That 26 pts for your opponent.

If marinda and poe take dmg you end up flying more defensively.

Honestly taking out marinda and adding another ywing and z is a better choice competitive wise.

Though it is a fun list.

Something I may fly at a fun tournament, but not a store championship

Thanks for the write up!

Excellent write up and Congratulations on your run!

I'll be running this at a local ~8 person tournament... results will follow..
