Kyle/Jake/Poe

By Koron, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just getting back into the game and after playing round on the squadron builders for a bit I've come up its this -

Poe - BB-8, PTL & Autothrusters

Jake - PTL, Test Pilot, Chaardin Refit, Autothrusters, Outmaneuver

Kyle - Moldy Crow, Recon Specialist & Ion Cannon Turret

This comes to 100 points exactly.

Also I would like to know how this would fare against a TIE Swarm with Vader as that is what I will usually be playing against.

Thanks in advance.

Oops, just realised I forgot to say I would like some suggested improvements for the list, sorry.

I understand the element of control with ion turret and it could do good things for you. But if you wanted to up the damage a little bit, you could put a blaster turret on Kyle. Since Moldy Crow + Recon Spec = Focus for days, he doesn't mind spending them to throw 3 dice in a 360 degree arc that can all go in as hits. Just something to consider.

But if you wanted to up the damage a little bit...

Eye see what you did there

I played against a list very close to this and it was nasty.......For Poe try R5 p9, since you don't want to spend Poe's focus, you always have it for R5 to regen a shield. Think about going IV and giving Poe a very high PS to shoot first or boast into position (against their PS9 vader) integrated astro mech to make him even harder to kill as auto thrusters on a jouster is not so effective as on a nippy A wing.

With jake take proton rockets, with Kyle to allow him to boast an barrel roll in the combat phase you can get that range one shoot on an ace early on. Five dice backed up by a focus, target lock and OM is even going to push damage through on a fel with four green dice and and an evade.

Give Kyle TLT and nothing else as he's the easiest to kill so keep the points down. TLTs will give good damage take about ships that may just have survived hits from jake and Poe.

It's a nasty list that ate me alive when I played against it.

Remember that if Jake uses PTL, he wont be able to use his ability when Kyle passes him a focus token.

I really like running Garven Dreis instead of Jake in this list to make sure Poe always has a focus. Always. I run r2d6 with vi to have the opportunity to shoot with Garven first and pass off his focus before Poe shoots. If poe goes down, Garven can pass his focus back to the Crow so it never clears the field.

Garven Dreis (26) R2D6 (1) VI (1) Integrated astromech (0) - 28pts
