Stress Control [Rebel list]

By Phoenix8472, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm sure I'm not the only one looking to abuse the potential of Rage, so here is my attempt at a list that not only doesn't care about being stressed, but actually benefits from it.

Thoughts and comments welcomed.

Stress Control (100)

Tycho Celchu (30) - A-Wing

Rage (1), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Autothrusters (2), Wired (1)

Keyan Farlander (42) - B-Wing

Opportunist (4), Advanced Sensors (3), "Mangler" Cannon (4), B-Wing/E2 (1), Hera Syndulla (1)

Ezra Bridger (28) - Attack Shuttle

Push The Limit (3), Kanan Jarrus (3), Targeting Computer (2)

Idea is nice but...

1. Tycho and Wired. You gonna have focus from Rage anyway. Isnt it better to take Refit (which i have no idea why you dont have anyway) and PtL? Then you can Focus, Focus that is better then Wired

2. Keyan has really nice build here.

3. I would worry about amount of punishment that list can take. B wing even its 8 hp drop fast if focused and that Keyan gonna be focused first. Ezra is only 2 greens after all+evade and skill. Not bad but not exceptional too. Only Tycho can live to fight some other day but he on the other had doesn't deal TOO much dmg alone.

Overall, save this weird tycho build, i would give it a spin.

Mangler is not good value on a 3 attack ship.

Tycho would be much more effective with Rage + PTL. Wired doesn't make much sense...

Ezra REALLY, REALLY needs a turret...

I agree with some of the above ideas, and when it becomes available, I'm gonna steal your list and made some modifications:

Tycho Celchu (30)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Rage (1), Autothrusters (2), Push the Limit (3)

Keyan Farlander (38)

Advanced Sensors (3), Opportunist (4), B-Wing/E2 (1), Hera Syndulla (1)

Ezra Bridger (32)

Twin Laser Turret (6), Kanan Jarrus (3), Push the Limit (3)

Target lock is nice on Ezra, but being able to shred tokens I feel is even nicer, especially since, in theory, he will be tugboating Keyan, so his firing arc may be limited to ensure the stress dropping.

Good feedback, thanks. Yup totally got it wrong about refit on Tycho. Logic was that Wired would be of benefit if I hadn't taken a focus action but with PTL I can always take one, silly error!

Was attempting to avoid the TLT as I just find it boring! Maybe an Ion turret for causing mischief and setting up Keyan with Opportunist...

I like Mangler B-Wings, do you not think a crit upgrade is helpful? I like it that you can get a 4 dice attack with opportunist. But I see it isn't essential to the list.

Great feedback, now I have to see how well it flies!
