"Ladies First" - Hera, Miranda, Jan

By McQuirk, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Probably not tremendously competitive but it looks like fun.

Hera is an excellent arc dodger in the attack shuttle, with Kanan helping to remove stress and Jan giving her extra dice.

Miranda does what Miranda does, Jan flies around in support.

What do you think?

Attack Shuttle: · Hera Syndulla (Attack Shuttle) (22)

Predator (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

· Kanan Jarrus (3)

K-Wing: · Miranda Doni (29)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

HWK-290: · Jan Ors (25)

Wired (1)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

· Nien Nunb (1)

Looks like a fun little list. I would be tempted to take engine upgrade off Hera and give Miranda r2 or 3p0.

I like it. Miranda will be your late game finisher, because Hera and Jan will probably go down quickly. They just don't have enough hull + agility to survive long. But Miranda can keep ticking away while also regenerating shields. Looks like a fun list. I don't see anything I would change.

I'm wondering if this would be better if Miranda had Advanced SLAM.

I think the attack shuttle with the right upgrades will be surprisingly survivable with the ability to barrel roll and boost. It was a toss-up between PtL, which works well with Kanan obviously, and Predator which makes Hera that bit better on the offence. I think the basic idea here is Jan circles the area enhancing Hera as much as possible, Miranda ticks away, while Hera goes for the arc-dodging flank shots. The only issue with PtL is that Hera's attacks aren't going to be modified all that often if she's boost/rolling out of arcs. Hence predator.
