Dumb Squadron v13.5

By Bobbs3k, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I've created a new list, going to run it at a tournament this Friday. I haven't played in over a month and a half or so due to a cruddy work schedule so I haven't really dealt with a lot of the new meta from wave 7 and the core set so I don't know if this list is viable or as stupid as the other lists I make. I'm figuring two 5 dice attacks from the Homing missiles, plus I'll have a focus and target lock thanks to Cracken passing an action could potentially do some damage. That followed up with the B wing cannon shot should be enough to hurt most lists.

Miranda Doni 29

Extra Munitions 2

Homing Missiles - 5

TLT - 6

Blue Squadron Pilot 22

HLC 7

FCS 2

Airen Cracken 19

Concussion Missiles 4

As is the list is 96 points, I'm also debating three other options - give Miranda engine upgrade, give Miranda a recon specialist so I can focus on both tlt shots/use for defense, or give Miranda Chewbacca as a crew card to give her more regen power. Anyway just looking for some feedback to see if this has any chance or if there are any tweaks anyone can think of.

Thanks

I'm in love with Miranda, TLT and 3P0. I think if you're not SLAMming then you should be TLTing. But that's probably just me.

Don't have a 3po, but people in my group are cool so I might be able to borrow one for the tourny

Honestly, I'd lose the homing missiles. Miranda doesn't need to be wasting her time trying to get those shots off when she should be lasing. Use the freed up points to give her a Recon Specialist. Then upgrade the B-Wing to a Dagger so he'll shoot before 98% of the TLT carriers you're likely to see.

Since you'll still have 6 points you could give Miranda another Shield and make the B-Wing an E-2 with Nien Nunb! Sounds silly at first, but you are giving Miranda yet another shield to trade up or down and dramatically enhancing the B-Wing's maneuverability.

That's exactly how I fly Miranda Dan. I give here TLT, 3PO and extra shield. I fly her with Super Dash. Pretty good little list.

I think the OP should give your build a shot. Or if you don't want to run Rec Spec then think about Tactician on Miranda.

Ran the list as stated in the initial post have it the shield upgrade for the last 4 points. Went 1-2. First match I was very rusty from lack of playing and it cost me a lot. I misjudged ranges for firing, landed on asteroids, and pretty much got dominated inside 30 minutes. Second match went perfect, between the 5 attack missile and the b wing follow up I cleaned up shop. Last match faced off against three b wings. I was able to take his Keyan off the table, but he correctly targeted my Cracken and then other B wing so I was left with Miranda vs his other b wings.

All in all it was fun, and helped knock the rustboff, stay tuned for further adventures of dumb squadrons in the future.
