Poe, Jake and.......

By J Viz, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I'm a pretty big fan of Poe and this Jske build is pretty much set in stone as I've had a lot of success with it, but what do you guys think is best?

(100)

Poe Dameron (40)

Predator (3), R2-D2 (4), Autothrusters (2)

Tycho Celchu (32)

Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Experimental Interface (3), Expert Handling (2)

Jake Farrell (28)

Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

Or

Next list (100)

Jake Farrell (28)

Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

Poe Dameron (38)

Veteran Instincts (1), R2-D2 (4), Autothrusters (2)

Ello Asty (34)

Predator (3), R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

What do you guys think? Or are there other obvious options that I'm missing? All advice and opinion welcome. I think I'm getting close to a decent list and more importantly enjoy flying Jake and Poe but just missing the last piece of the jigsaw

Well i tried this list today and it did go pretty well

Poe

-VI

-R5P9

-AT

Jake

-VI

-PTL

-AT

-Chardaan

Miranda

-TLT

Both Miranda and Poe are regen monsters and Jake can be a real pain in the ass if your opponent ignores him.

Never thought of that. I may have to get myself a k-wing

I've had a lot of luck with Poe/Jake/Keyan. Put advanced sensors, stay on target, b-wing title and intelligence agent on Keyan. I'm 5-0 with this list so far. A few nights ago I replaced Jake with a stresshog and still won. However; I think that was more due to my opponent being new to flying brobots.

I ran Horton together with them, him having the EPT droid, TLT and marksman, that worked well

When you reroll for Horton's ability does that allow the TLT to hit for more then one damage per shot?

no.

I like the look of the Jake, Poe, Ello list.

If you are planing to keep Jake stress most of the time, I would like to recommend Wired instead of Veteran Instincts.

no, but with marksman and his ability, you may reroll all the blanks, and then turn all the focus to hits (or one to a crit but that doesn't matter with TLT), this means that he should roll three hits on all close to always

Still relatively new to the game but aren't K-Wings a bit expensive in terms of points?

I flew a Y-Wing with Dutch and T-70 with Poe last night, keeping the two of them close together was quite handy since Poe could boost and attack out of situations while the Y-Wing took damage from two TIEs then countered with the Ion Cannon.

If you are planing to keep Jake stress most of the time, I would like to recommend Wired instead of Veteran Instincts.

I have thought about it but with VI the PS9 with Jake makes him a pretty good ace hunter. Can often get to range 1 with a boost and if no need to barrel roll to get out of arc can then can TL meaning although is only an A-wing am attacking with 3 dice with focus and TL. Can normally get something through with that and he rarely takes much damage.

As a slight aside what do people think of elite talents for Poe? VI or Predator?

Depending on how you plan on deploying, I've always preferred Lone Wolf over Predator. It just makes you super tanky on defense, and is 1 less point.

I've not got lone wolf so it's not an option for me but if I had it would probably be on there
