Wedge build for a sauad

By Ccwebb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I really like Wedge's ability. I would like to use him as a 1-2 punch in a three 3 ship build. Either him+ a B wing with a A-wing running blocker or A-wing (Tyco with all the trimmings) and a B-wing blocker. So I don't need a fully loaded Wedge, but some extras that allow him to be a heavy hitter AND allow him to extend an extra round or two.

Suggestions?

ptl +bb8 + integrated

3 b-wings

That looks like a solid build.

To keep with the op's theme a little closer ..

My favorite wedge build is also PtL, bb8, IA for 34 pts. You can't efficiently increase his durability beyond the IA so I would probably combine him with keyan/ten for a double threat of fragile hard hitting ships + arc dodging Jake/tycho.

I need to get BB-8, doing a barrel roll prior to moving seems like a great ability. I tried Ten for awhile but cost too much, I am using Keyan right now with elusiveness and Katarn for crew.

I haven't thought of this though. I will try it! (Only have 2 b-wings now)

Yeah you don't want to dump too many points into wedge because he is just going to get focused down. Him with 3 b's is nice so you can punish whatever comes into the jaws of 4 3-dice ships. I actually have made a few other 4-ship builds with 3 b-wings and an ace that I'd like to try out as well. I'm fond of luke with lone wolf, r2d2, and integrated astromech since he could probably live longer than wedge though as a flanker. With wedge, I think you have to split him a little bit and put your b's in between him and the enemy squad. Punish them for focusing him and make them take longer shots, or they have to choose to go for a b and he lives longer.
