Jake, Poe and Kyle play "pass the focus"

By JaceDK, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've been toying with variants of a list with Jake, Poe and Kyle, where Kyle stands ready to feed the two aces a focus where it is needed most.

The core of the list is:

- Jake Farrell w/title, prockets, AT, PTL and VI (or another 1-pt EPT, best candidates Crackshot or Wired)

- Poe w/VI, R5-P9, intergrated astro

- Kyle Katarn with either TLT, tactician and Moldy Crow OR ICT, Recon spec, Moldy crow OR Chewbacca crew and TLT plus 1-pt EPT or ICT plus 2-pt EPT

This setup allows Kyle to hand off a focus to Jake, who can then reposition at the start of combat and trigger PTL off the boost/BR. Or he can let Poe boost, TL or do a red maneuver and still get that key focus.

Any thoughts on the list in general and which setup is best for Kyle and Jake?

I really like the look of this list, the trick will be squeezing it into 100 points while maintaining its effectiveness.

If you are really squeezed for points, a cheaper alternative to Poe might be Garven Dries, R5-P9 and IA. Whilst not as effective as Poe, he can hand his Focus Tokens back to Kyle after he spends them and he weighs in 6 points cheaper than your Poe build.

You could even use those 6 points to give him Advanced Proton Torpedoes as he should not find it hard to get the TL + Focus which almost guarantees 5 hits. Of course without boost, it will be a bit harder to get into position to use them.
