First ever list! TFA theme...

By Maestious, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Draw Their Fire severely limits Poe's mobility. I know what you're going for but with these two ships I don't think it's the best play.

I don't like the torps or missiles on either ship but especially not on Poe. I think you'd be better served to have R2D2, BB-8 or R5-P9 on Poe. BB-8 only with PTL but you've got that. If you're running BB-8 or R2D2 Weapons Guidance is great tech.

If I were running these two pilots together I'd run something like this,

CHEWIE & POE

100 points

Chewbacca (58)

YT-1300 (42), Push the Limit (3), C-3PO (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Poe Dameron (42)

T-70 X-Wing (31), R2-D2 (4), Weapons Guidance (2), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

This gives you pretty consistent damage out of both ships and the ability to really move when necessary.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately I don't have the Star Viper Expansion so I don't have auto thrusters. Do you think it's worth getting it just for that card?

Thanks

Well the good news is Starvipers come with 2 Autothrusters. So purchasing that ship isn't "just" for one card. ;) And yes, it's worth it. With how many turrets are out there, unless your local meta is different, they come in quite handy to have.

Conversely rebels only have a few ships that they can be played on. A-wings and T-70's are the only ships with native boost for rebels. (right? did I forget somebody?) But if you really like flying either of those ships then I'd keep an eye out for a Starviper.

As for your tournament see if a friend has one to borrow. Or as your TO if you can proxy that card, it's accepted more than you might think. If you can't get one by your tournament date then maybe drop the Autothrusters and Weapons Guidance for an extra hull or shield on Poe. Initiative bid vs. more to regen.

You're never going to need the Munitions failsafe when you fire Advanced protons, they are nearly impossible to dodge. Its a wasted point.

If you change just 1 thing then just dropping Munitions for a more solid Initiative bid would be a good start.
