Fairly new but I've managed to amass quite a good number of cards!

What are your thoughts on this list and what do you think is the best way to fly it? I'm tempted to enter a store tournament next month with this list.

Seems like a good list, to fly I would suggest keeping Poe alive fighting on a flank, with the stress not and Ello in front of their main force.

Just ran this same list last Friday. It works good BUT Ello is the odd ball out in this format. You have 2 ships that want to joust and one that is it the middle of the road. It worked good for me as I won all of my games but I would look at trying this's if you want a more competitive list. Ello would just get dropped in the meta right now with no regens. Poe is ok because he has R5-P9. Anyways take a look below.

"Red Ace" (29)

R2-D2 (4)

Comm Relay (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Poe Dameron (31)

R5-P9 (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

With this you become more predictable BUT you have two ships that are incredibly hard to kill with the y wing behind them stressing everything. The y wing would be the first target in this list but it's easy to defend for a short while with both the T-70s. Over all I loved the list and is a good counter for the current meta with TLTs running everywhere. Hope this help and hope you have fun with ether that list you posted or the one I posted! Happy gaming!

How about putting R2-D2 on Ello and VI? No PTL and BB-8 shenanigans but he would be able to regen alongside Poe and could arch-dodge with his ability.

I haven't looked at "Red Ace" much but that Comm Relay synergy looks like it could be fun.

That could work. But you will end up losing autothrusters being as it's the only upgrade that makes sense to drop. The biggest reason I say Ello isn't that strong in the meta is because of all the other stress causing abilities out there. His talon roll is only a white move if you aren't stressed. If he gets stress on him then be is basically useless same goes for Poe. So you would have two pilots that would be use useless if they are stressed. With Red Ace you would still hold on to his ability being as you just get a evade token and no action is taken and then with comm relay holding for the next turn so if he gets shot again he has it then can get another one all while gaining shields back. I love Ello but a smart player would just turn him into a basic T-70.

Now like I said I did put him to good use and he did amazing. But the games where I played vs a stress bot it was terrible. R2 and VI would be good add to your list but at the cost of your autothrusters most likely. If you have a lot of TLTs in your meta they won't care about your R2 and auto thrusters would serve you better. Other arc dodgers are better than Ello. A PS 11 Vader is a slippery bastard. Same goes for Fel.

Sorry I just re-read that you will drop your PTL on Ello for R2 and VI which means you would keep the autothrusters. That would be a good combo and keep alive a long time. I would say give it a shot! No PTL means more white talon rolls to get out of the way of that stress bot or tactician . Just watch out for whispers running rebel capitive!

I'm going to try both Ello and "Red Ace" on Friday to see who fits my play style better.

Poe + Stresshog are staples but I guess there's a few points I can play around with if I so desire!

I'm looking at running this particular list and was hoping for some input. I'd really like to fit in VI on Poe with this build but to free up the space for it I see two options:

1. Replace one of the Auto Thrusters with Integrated Astromech

2. Replace the Twin Laser Turret with an Ion Cannon Turret

Thoughts on which one would be better? Or would keeping the list as is be a better choice?

Ion cannon takes away your range 3 triple tap double stress, which is the easiest arc to catch people in for me anyways. Same with the thrusters, they have been giving me way more health than the integrated would have.

I have been running

T-70 X-Wing: · "Red Ace" (29)

· R2-D2 (4)

Autothrusters (2)

Comm Relay (3)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

· R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

T-70 X-Wing: · Ello Asty (30)

Veteran Instincts (1)

· R7-T1 (3)

Autothrusters (2)

And find that ello is wither amazing and destroys ships without any trouble or dies right away.

Considering swapping r7t1 for r5x3 for the rock ignore option and 2 point initiative bid
