Eaden with "stressbot" Y-Wing

By Streetta, in X-Wing Squad Lists

YT-2400: Eaden Vrill (32)

Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Y-Wing: Gold/Gray Squadron Pilot (18/20)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

R3-A2 (2)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

So Obviously this isn't a complete list, only 65/67 point, but that's why I'm here. First off the point of this list is to give Eaden an offensive kick by stressing a target with the "stressbot" Y-wing. Obviously I need some filler. If I choose to use the Gold Squadron than there's enough space for Poe with R2-D2. However this means that Eaden shoots first, so I have to stress the target for the next turn, giving me less options.

Just wanting to see your thoughts and ideas to complete this list.

Thanks

I've run em'. Honestly, not huge on the HLC on Vrill, it's a lot of points to basically give you one extra die when firing in your arc, not worth it.

And you really want to upgrade the Gold to a Gray Squadron, so he can shoot first and give Vrill some ready to go targets. I personally liked slapping Tactician, and maybe Ion Cannon (Stress+ion, always so nasty) with my gray squad stresshog, and then just whatever else.

Not really. I've run a HLC on Vrill quite a bit. It comes into it's own when there is no stress.

Stressless opponents, in arc at range 2-3 are much more heavily hit, and it happens more than you think when you are aware of what you are trying to achieve. That is, staying at range and getting in arc shots.

PWT = 2 dice @ R2 and 2 dice @ range 3 with opponent extra evade die.

HLC = 4 dice @ R2 and 4 dice @ range 3, no evade.

If stressed opponent, then sure. Not as convincing.

Ran this last nights, lost 5 Shields on Vrill... Pretty good MOV:

Poe VI AT R2D2

Grey Squadron Stressbot (not a gold)

Vrill Anti Pursuit Lasers

It was awesome. Ran Vrill down their throats with the grey trailing. Poe flanked and did his thing.

I'm unbeaten with Vrill so far though only a small sample size. My thread has been linked above but yeah, Vrill in a stress meta is a dirt cheap 3 die PWT in effect.

I'm now sick of Poe though. Both flying him and flying against him. I'm thinking of dropping him for a second 2400 with HLC. Or Miranda maybe.

Another variant of the list I cooked up has Vrill Gold and Corran... Not much better than Poe, but in some ways more powerful.
