Hi imperial pilots! I need in help.

Help me construct Squad list vs T-70 Poe Dameron + R2D2 + variants (X-wings, A-wing or E-wings).

Thank you!

From my limited experience, it seems like control works very well against these builds. Ion or stress on Poe hurts him a lot. Ions hurt Coran for the fact that he can't Regen if he has to do a 1 move every turn. Stress hurts Poe a lot since he won't be able to take focus, thus negating much of his evasiveness

Anything that blocks Poe and denies his focus token will see him die quickly, even with R2. Also, focus fire will kill any rebel-regen with little problem, provided you can stay on target for two consecutive turns.

Here's a swarm list that has plenty of blockers for rebel aces and will push through guaranteed damage-

4x Black Squadron Tie Figher with Crack shot

Wampa

Omega Leader with Juke and Comms Relay

Block with one of the Blacks, then Omega Leader will strip some shields off your target with excellent efficiency, then use your crack shots and Wampa's ability to put some guaranteed damage through.

Can confirm. Just beat Poe/Miranda/Z with [super secret store champs list]. My build had a lot of control elements which are great against low ship-count lists because you can isolate ships and take them out, or at least take them out of the fight for a while as you focus on the other(s).

Thank you!

Omega Leader

Juke

Com Relay

Zertik Strom

Title

Sensor Jammer

Mk2 Engine

Dark Curse

Carnor Jax

Ptl

Thrusters

Omega Leader denies poe's ability carnor stops him from taking the focus. And zertik and curse annoy the living snot out of everyone else.

Here's a squad list I'm going to run in a tourney today. I'm running it with the intention of being able to take out pilots like Poe, Luke, and others who can regen shields.

Omega Leader + Comm Relay + Juke (26)

Youngster + Marksmanship (18)

Wampa + Stealth Device (17)

Lieutenant Colzet + TIE/x1 + Twin Ion Engine Mk. II + Fire-Control System (24)

Chaser (14)

The idea is to first hit the pilots with the regen abilities with auto damage from Wampa. Youngster gives him the ability to take the Marksmanship action, which means he has three chances to get a critical on each die (2x focus + 1x natural crit). With a base attack rating of 2, this gives him about a % chance of getting a critical and, thus, of automatically dealing a facedown damage card to one of the pilots with regen abilities. The formula, assuming I've done my math correctly, is the complement of the probability of neither die rolling a focus or crit, or 1 - ((5/8)*(5/8)) = 61%.

Lieutenant Colzet can then take a defensive focus action since, as long as he attacks a regenerating ship, the Fire-Control System mod will allow him to automatically allow him to receive a target lock on that ship, which he can then spend during the End phase to flip up the damage card that Wampa (hopefully) dealt facedown. If it's a direct hit or a critical that otherwise causes additional damage, then Wampa will have the ability to take out Poe in the next round. Alternatively, if the opponent only has a hull value of 2 (like Corran Horn), then the opponent will be eliminated immediately.

The other ships should be able to fly and take actions fairly defensively while Youngster, Wampa, and Colzet are still in play (Wampa in particular). If the other ships generally take focus actions, then Chaser might become quite hard to hit as long as he keeps receiving those focus tokens. That being said, you might want to want to attack the regenerating ships with Omega Leader as well - in particular, he's particularly suited to tackle Poe's pilot ability.

I'm running this squad at a tourney today; I'll let you know how it goes.
