Better upgrade for Jax???

By darkevans, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I tried the Sigma Sigma Jax list the other day and really liked it. I've gotten very comfortable and good at flying phantoms, specifically Whisper, so I figured I'd see how it went. I like the synergy of the list, the damage output, and the fact you can block aces with the Sigmas.

My list was

Sigma- Intel, SJ, and Stygium x2

Jax- PTL, Shield, AT

My question is; should I drop the AT and give Jax that extra hit with a hull, or leave it. How do you think this list would do against the current meta?

I was planning on using this list for a store championship in which I know I will see a TLT y spam list.

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions please

I would leave it as is.

Although my version is slightly different: I put rebel captive on one of the sigmas (so only 1 intel agent) and run them together. Jax gets a hull upgrade and autothrusters.

Honestly, the only trouble this list runs into is PS9+ aces that are as dodgy as Jax. You really have to kill them first. The only 2 games I've lost so far were because of bad 1v1 end-game matchups. The first was against whisper and the second against Vader (although both were still really close---each had two health left). Another game was Jax vs VI Xizor and we ended up just calling it a draw (it was on VASSAL) because it was taking forever, although my opponent felt like he had the advantage since Xizor was worth more points, but considering how long we had been going 1v1 and he hadn't landed any damage on Jax that whole time, I felt like I was doing pretty good considering ;)
