A Wave 1 squad

By Nikgor, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi,

A newbie question)))

Is there any possibility to form a viable Rebels squad using two old starters and the Wave 1?)))

Most people are fine with using proxy cards, so if you are fine with that, yeah!

The ships are fine, it is just the upgrades that need some love.

Tarn Mison, Luke, Biggs, and Wedge are all fantastic X wing pilots, and Hobbie can really fly well with the new targeting astromech. Integrated Astromech is a new upgrade that is an autoinclude on all T65 X wings now.

Y wings love R3A2 and the new Twin Laser Turret, but Ion cannon turrets are still good too.

If you can't proxy any upgrade cards, or don't want to, I would just run as many cheap generics as you can. XXXY can be alright, but with modern upgrades you will be much happier.

Wedge (or Luke )+ R2D2

Biggs

2x rookies

Or

Luke

Garven

Biggs

Rokkie

Both seem better than XXXYY , but who knows ^^

I fly a list using all wave 1 pilots. Though the upgrade cards aren't.

Wedge Antilles

R2D2

Draw Their Fire

Shield Upgrade

Luke Skywalker

R5P9

Predator

Integrated Astromech

Biggs Darklighter

Veteran Instincts

R2D6

Integrated Astromech

My previous build of choice was

Luke Skywalker

Draw Their Fire

R2D2

Shield Upgrade

Wedge Antilles

Shield Upgrade

Biggs Darklighter

Shield Upgrade

and my friend played four xwings pretty regularly

Luke Skywalker

Draw Their Fire

R2D2

Shield Upgrade

3x Rookie Pilot

You could also run a pretty effective tie swarm

Howlrunner

Swarm Tactics

Dark Curse

Backstabber

4x Academy Pilot

Just don't try to enter a Store, Regional, National, or World Championship with proxied cards! ;)

That's the point))) No proxies)))

Anyone can fly with proxies)))

I flew Wedge+Luke+Biggs squad at a local newbie tournament, but lost 3:1.

But that was my first official play))))

What about:

Wedge+R2+PtL

Luke+R2-D2+Determination

Wes+R2-F2+Determination

Wedge, Luke and Wes are good my friend plays them regularly. But he uses VI so that they can beat out other aces like soontir fel.
