first tourney tomorrow... rebels or scum

By Wiredin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I'm going to enter my first tournament tomorrow. I don't plan on doing well as I haven't had much luck in this game yet, but I plan on having fun!

Anyways, I'm asking for some help on something that will be competitive against what appears to be a crack-shot tie-swarm kind of local meta.

Ten Numb (31)
Crack Shot (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Chewbacca (42)
Predator (3)
C-3PO (3)
R2-D2 (Crew) (4)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Millennium Falcon (1)
Total: 100
I haven't flown this build before perse.... I have flown the Falcon and Corran Horn before. But decided that this Ten Numb build could be pretty devastating. The Flechette Torps are there only to eat up 2 points.
--------------------------------
Airen Cracken (19)
Veteran Instincts (1)
"Dutch" Vander (23)
Wedge Antilles (29)
Swarm Tactics (2)
Garven Dreis (26)
Total: 100
This may be too complicated for me to fly well, and it's not my list. But the synergy looks like it could be pretty good. Lack of upgrades, but a four ship rebel list flying in formation. Would be good against stress builds as Airen can start an action chain of focus or target locks.

Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Unhinged Astromech (1)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Syndicate Thug (18)

Guri (30)
Opportunist (4)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Autothrusters (2)
Virago (1)
Total: 99
This is my only scum list I've flown, and its done very well. The Y's throw out a ton of damage and are actually very maneuverable. Guri died quick both times I've flown it, but not before the Y's really ripped things up.

Ello Asty (30)
Predator (3)
BB-8 (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Poe Dameron (31)
Push the Limit (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Gemmer Sojan (22)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Push the Limit (3)
Stealth Device (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Total: 99
I've flown a variation of this list a few times now. Except for instead of Ello I had Wedge, and this list will be depend on me finding a pair of T70 expansions when I go out this afternoon. But it was actually pretty good against non-swarm lists. Against swarms, Gemmer was a really good flanker and the green dice have been good with him. Not a lot of synergy here, but it was good.

probably a bad idea....
Which would you fly? What would you change? I'm still a pretty green flyer

or because I'm new and apparently it's easy to fly... super dash. I've never tried him yet. but he's spanked me hard a few times

If you are comfortable flying a Firespray run

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)

Lone Wolf (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Glitterstim (2)

X2 Syndicate Thug (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Good damage output plus Boba is a tough nut to crack.

I don't think super dash is easy to fly at all. Also, I think a lone b-wing is a terrible pairing for him, so I would pass on this list, personally.

Of all your lists, I like the scum one the best, but I don't think Opportunist works well in this build. I would change that to lone wolf, or if you are not comfortable with that, predator instead. This lets you fit R4 agromechs on the y-wings, which are better than unhinged (you don't need unhinged to keep engine y-wings mobile and unpredictable).

I did a few practice rounds last night and my Scum list was doing quite well. Lost to a Corran, Blue Ace, Blue Novice list I built my friend. I did some stupid flying.... I found Guri to be underwhelming and the boosting Y's did the majority of the work.

is one adaptation. I'm very very fond of the boosting Y's, and I think Calculation and MErcenary Copilot may be a good synergy build for Boba.

or a mini Z swarm with the Y's.
I guess I'll decide when I get on site....

I just can't imagine how Guri could be underwhelming...

Dump hlc and get mangler plus advanced sensors. There was a similar dash + ten list that came 25th at worlds so it's not that bad.
