Rebel Aces

By Lord Khurz, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Like I stated earlier, I'm just starting X Wing. I was also thinking of using this list

Gemmer

Wired

Test Pilot

Proton Rockets

Farrell

Deadeye

Test Pilot

Proton Rockets

Keyan Farlander

Kyle Kataran

Push the Limit

Adv. Proton Torpedoes

Proton Torpedoes

E2

Not sure if all the missles and torpedoes are necessary. Any thoughts?

Hey there, I like where this list is going, I'm a big fan of rebel aces too. Here's my take:

First up, you don't need Deadeye on Jake as he's going to be spending a focus to use Prockets. So, you could swap it out for Push The Limit and really make use of his card ability. I'd include autothrusters too, it really helps out A's. Use test pilot to give him another EPT, Outmanoeuvre is good as he's so slippery.

This Gemmer build is interesting. Wired isn't a great synergy with his ability and neither is Prockets, so I'd be tempted to just give him a refit and autothrusters and leave it at that.

Keyan is a great pilot with a fun ability. From personal experience B-wings die when their movement becomes easy to predict as their dial is quite limiting. So with this in mind Advanced Sensors really helps him out and if you add in PTL, as you've already done, plus Engine Upgrade too you have a very slippery B-wing. You can choose to two actions and get a stress before revealing a white manoeuvre and keeping the stress for shooting or revealing a manoeuvre and then doing your two actions. It makes him hard to predict and also means he can keep up with your A's.

So, something like the below comes to 93pts, leaving you 7 pts to play around with.

Jake

PTL

Prockets

Autothrusters

(32)

Keyan

PTL

Advanced Sensors

Engine Upgrade

(39)

Gemmer

Refit

Autothrusters

(22)

Hope this is helpful!

The problem is that I'm limited to the upgrade cards in the core,b wing,a wing, and aces. I'm working with what I have.

Use Jan instead of Kyle. The focus from Kyle doesn't help agility 1 that much on defense.
