Corran + mini swarm

By RsRabin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I want to fly something that has a chance vs tlt spam, as that's what knocked me out at my last tournament. I gave corran ptl r2d2 eu fcs with 4 talas a try.

Game vs 4 tlt scum ys, corran died early, but the talas had no problem cleaning up, all shooting first.

So I'm wondering how this will do vs other popular meta lists? I figure if I can manage to keep corran alive and kill vader with a block and palp, I can just outlast the clock with corran vs fel.

Stress might be kinda tough but I should be able to kill a stressbot before it gets a shot off.

Thoughts?

because fel is higher PS youre going to have a tough time "outlasting" him.

Swarms of anykind do well against TLT's, bombs work well, other TLTs, burst damage, or anything that guarnatees multiple hits like VI corran

If you are using an E-Wing, why not try Etahn Abaht with the swarm, as his crit boosting ability will give the most benefit when there are more things shooting

I have tried Corran with the mini swarm but with advanced sensors. Not the ideal attack option for Corran but it did give him significant manoeuvrability and the ability to shed his stress with a green manoeuvre ready for the next move.

Consider your above build but to deal with the Soontir's of the world, swap out two talas for a y wing with TLT and R3A2; fly him at the back to make it hard for Soontir to avoid the double stress and still get on Corran's tail.

I'll give the r3a2 a go... just sad I can't have it at ps4 for killing ps1-3s before they get a shot. But I suppose dealing with vader/soontir would be nice.
