Which one would you use?

By Manchine, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I can only Play one of these Saturday. Which one would you use?

Spearhead
Soontier Fel (Tie Intercepteror) with Push the Limits and Stealth Device 33 Points

Rexler Brath (Tie Defender) with Outmaneuver and Stealth Device 43 Points

X2 Academy Pilots 12 Points a piece.

100 Points

Or

Test Flight

Poe Dameron (T-70 Xwing) with Weapons Guidance and Veteran Instincts 34 Points

Ten Numb (B-Wing) with Veteran Instincts 32 Points

Keyan Farlander (B-Wing) with Opportunist 33 Points

99 Points

Rebels of course, and your list look deadly !

I will not go for opportunist cause Stay on target or ppush the limit will wrk ALL round, but you can try it.

Not a good fan of weapon guidance on Poe too , cause Poe need to keep is focus token.

if you loose them for 7 pts , you'r at 93, so :

Mangler cannon on Ten , yummy

push the limit on keyan OR Stay and target + R2 on Poe

careful that list if deadly but not for long time

Drop Opportunist and put Mangler Cannon on Ten Numb.

I'd go Rebel with the changes TaGaDa suggested. Stay on Target on Keyan will always give you the red, just pick a two maneuver and swap it so even if you get blocked on actions you'll have a stress.

Personally, I think your rebel list will struggle. Its spread too thin. All of those pilots thrive on multiple upgrades rather than keeping them light, and because their base costs are so high, they just can't afford to be made effective together. I would suggest focussing on one ace pilot and 2 or 3 generics, or two ace pilots + 1 generic...

Your imperial list could work, but the upgrades are not ideal. Rexler wants predator, not outmanoeuvre. And stealth does nothing for him unless you are just really lucky with green dice. Soontir really wants autothrusters, and I hate to say it, but in this day and age, kinda needs them in order to do well. So if you don't have them, don't run that list, but if you do, drop Rexler's stealth to add them in.

Go Imperial and scoff in haughty derision as the Rebel dogs are driven before you.

In all seriousness, Fel NEEDS Autothrusters. The Defender does not really need the Stealth Device. Also, I agree with Blade that Predator is more reliable than Outmaneuver. That leaves you with 1 point. You can throw the Twin Ion Engine Mk II on Brath.

As an alternative, you can downgrade Brath to a naked Vessery or an Onyx with Hull Upgrade and upgrade the Academys to Epsilon Squad Pilots who can provide Target Locks for Vessery.
