Problems with Poe list

By Cosmopolitanchykowianechka, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I have HUGE problems playing against that list:

Classic Poe Dameron

Red Squadron Veteran w/ PTL, R2-D2, Integrated Astromech

Last ship is some kind of special xwing, but it gets down quickly.


I don't know, how to counter this list with SCUMS. And I wouldn't like to play brobots. Any suggestions?

What ships do you have?

I would suggest Palob since he shuts down Poe nicely if you get into range 1 or 2.

Z-95 swarms are also great against x-wings. You can plop a whole bunch down and pew-pew until the x-wings are dead. Since you have more ships, there's not much your opponent can do to stop the inevitable...

Twin laser turrets also work pretty well, since with only Agility 2, autothrusters are not as reliable a defense against them (especially if you put R4 agromech on your thugs).

Not knowing what you can field though makes it hard to suggest anything more specific...

The noob friendly list of 4xTLT Y-Wings shut down any x-wing in 1 turn including Biggs, Poe, or some joker using R2-F2 with Experimental Interface.

2 agi < TLT

Classic Poe Dameron

Only takes a few months to be considered a "classic" now? :P

Try some ion. I like ps10 fett with ion/tactician just for starters. He's a heavy lifter and you'll be surprised how quickly he sorts out poe.

Theres also the option for an ordnance alpha strike with Zs. I threw out a concept that went something like this awhile back:

Talonbane cobra- VI, stims, thread tracers, guidance chimps

N'dru- VI, stims, cluster missiles, guidance chimps

Binayre pirate- concussion missiles, guidance chimps

Binayre pirate- concussion missiles, guidance chimps

Binayre pirate- guidance chimps

PS11 cobra to hand out TLs on one unfortunate sucka then the swarm lets rip. After that ride the momentum. Feel free to swap clusters for concussions if you find getting into R2 to be problematic.

Scum is a little behind atm but they're about to get a boost if we can hold out.
