Imperial player meets Biggs

By polmoneys, in X-Wing Squad Lists

SC is around the corner and will go with rebels for a change. Biggs feels like a cheap insurance against lots of threats (secondary weapons) so he needs to stay.

Ello is my fav rebel pilot as it has a better k-turn than the defender + boost + AT. Predator because my meta is full of PS2. Also, non negotiable :)

At this point we have:

Ello Asty (30)

Predator (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Corran Horn (35)

Fire-Control System (2)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

Total: 97

If Corran can double tap at R1 his damage output is higher than most so seems like a good addition to the mix. FCS is a must. Would a Prockets Jake or TLT Horton be a better choice? Ello could get R2-D2...

If Corran is the choice, there are 3 points left, few ideas, pitch in:

- Add regen R5-P9 to an ace

- Give BB-8 + 1pt EPT to Corran so he can arc dodge or bump. Not sure if VI for countering imp aces or Wired for a safer k-turn

-Non of the above, IA + droid to Biggs.Stressbot or R4-D6 + 1pt EPT for Corran

I don't think Corran is a good fit. He's too expensive to get both him and Ello firing on all cylinders.

I would go with:

Ello w/ predator, R2-D2 & autos = 39

Wedge w/ BB-8, push the limit & integrated astro = 34

Biggs w/ 1 or 2 pt droid (doesn't really matter) + integrated astro = 26/27

99/100

Probably a 1 pt droid on Biggs is preferrable, because having a slight bid vs other PS 7 or PS 9 lists would be helpful...

Ello could get R2-D2...

Poe (v.i, r5-p95, thrusters)

Asty (PTL, bb-8, thrusters)

insert 26 points to finish, i.e Biggs (r4-d6, integrated)

Ello could get R2-D2...

Not a great fit, you need to go green for to R2-D2 to heal you which means missing out on that lovely white T-Roll.

You're not T-rolling turn after turn. inbetween t rolls can be used to recharge...

I'll throw this list out there:

Ello + R2 + Outmaneuver/Predator + Autothrusters (36)

Biggs + R4-D6 + Int.Astro. (26)

Gold y-wing stresshog [R3-A2 + title + TLT] (26)

Bandit z-95 (12)

Total = 100 points

A good blocker, good control with the stresshog, Biggs and Ello. Ello with R2 and outmaneuver would be killer in the end game.
