There's only a couple problems I see with this list. First, your ships can only equip a single "modification" upgrade at any given time. (modification upgrade cards have the crossed wrench icon on the back.) The only other issue I see, which actually ties into the first, is that you have engine upgrades equiped to t70 xwings.. They already have boost.

For an example of a legal build similar to yours:

Poe dameron 31

Veteran instincts 1

Bb8 2

Intergrated astromech 0

Advanced proton torpedoes 6

Ello asty 30

R5 x3 1

Plasma torpedoes 3

Shield upgrade 4

Draw their fire 1

Now with these two you've got 79 points spent, which means you've got 21 points left for another ship. See what you can come up with.

You could not add this many modifications to T-70, so I think this build is illegal. Why would you use Engine upgrade to ship that has alredy Boost in his actions, 8 points wasted.

thank you. im a beginner

If you like Poe search for builds with him in this forum, there is plenty of them. You maybe exited about T-70 but two of these dont make a good build because they could die very quick. You should add a bulky ship like B-Wing or Y-Wing to the two X-wings.

i have purchased the core set an additional t70 a k wing and the rebel aces pack

You can only have 1 upgrade card per available slot, including modifications and titles. So you need to pick only one - shield, integrated astromech, or something else. As noted, if you already have an ability like boost or target lock, placing a modification that provides that is wasted points.

Gotcha. Thank you

Okay, first step: as said, only one upgrade per slot and, unless you have a TIE Interceptor with the Royal Guard title, only one modification.

Next, ignore ordnance for now, until you're more experienced.

The following step is to not put all your points in one ship, don't overburden it with upgrades.

So, a cleaned up version of your list might be:

Poe Dameron (31)
Wired (1)
BB-8 (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Ello Asty (30)
Outmaneuver (3)
Targeting Astromech (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Total: 69

Leaving you with nearly a third of your squad points available.

For me, the first step in list building is asking myself the question: How do I want my list to win?

Once I've got that question answered I can start tinkering with the ships and upgrades.

What do you mean. How do I want my list to win

What do you mean. How do I want my list to win

Exactly that.

Do you want to deny your opponent the opportunity to perform actions or limit his maneuvers to green? Then you need stress inducers (or Carnor Jax, Dark Curse and Zertik Strom for instance).

Do you want to deny your opponent the choice of maneuvers? Then you need Ionization.

Overwhelm him with small ships, death by a 1000 cuts? Z-95 or TIE swarm, or even a few A-Wings.

Do you want to run circles around him, never giving him a shot? Arc-dodgers like A-Wings or Interceptors are for you.

Maybe you want to react to what he does? High PS.

Low, slow and crude but effective? 4 Y-Wings with TLT.

Now, you said in another thread you like to use two ships paired with a heavy hitter I believe?

I play war hammer 40k and my lists consist of fast attack with some heavy tanks

I play 40k also and this is nothing like that mate. This is more like a game of chess with some diced added to it to "lol" for shitz and giggles
