Critiques and Opinions on Rebel Lists for SC

By Stigma, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After getting into X-wing: TMG over December and already acquiring a rather large collection of Rebel ships, a friend and I have decided to try our luck at our first event in the form of a Store Championship. However, there are SO MANY potential lists I have already crafted/tested and still do not know what I would like to run. If possible, could you fantastic gents and gals give me some critiques and opinions on the builds I'm considering and maybe an idea on which list out of the few seems to be the "strongest" or most balanced in regards to the current meta (Stresshogs, Poe's, Palp-aces, etc). In advance, thanks for the help!

HAN+MIRANDA(99)

Han Solo (64)

YT-1300 (46), Predator (3), Luke Skywalker (7), C-3PO (3), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Miranda Doni (35)

K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6)

HAN+POE(100)

Han Solo (62)

YT-1300 (46), Predator (3), Gunner (5), C-3PO (3), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Poe Dameron (38)

T-70 X-Wing (31), R2-D2 (4), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)

I really enjoy flying the Falcon with Han as the pilot, and have had good success in the past. The only thing that worries me about the Poe and Han build is that if I mess up movement or if the enemy is able to kill Poe early, then I get into a tricky situation and will have a harder time coming back from it, if at all. Trading the damage from Poe for the SLAM+regen of Miranda and reliable TLT, I feel I get better chances of dragging the game out long enough to eventually dink down some enemy ships.

SUPERDASH+CORRAN(100)

Dash Rendar (58)

YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

Corran Horn (42)

E-Wing (35), R2-D2 (4), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1)

SUPERDASH+FATMIRANDA(100)

Dash Rendar (58)

YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

Miranda Doni (42)

K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), C-3PO (3), Shield Upgrade (4)

The other Large ship that I have fallen in love with: The Outrider, piloted by Dash. The first build is the standard Superdash+Corran build that has been tried and tested by many others and seems to be extremely strong, if flown correctly. My other build attempt is switching out Corran for a Miranda with TLT, C-3po, and a shield upgrade. This helps me again with that problem that my enemy will focus the smaller ship and then just go for the Large ship once he's alone. With the Fat Miranda, I'll trade damage again for more defense, regen, and the reliable 360 damage.

KYYZ(100)

Miranda Doni (38)

K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), C-3PO (3)

Gold Squadron Pilot (24)

Y-Wing (18), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Gold Squadron Pilot (26)

Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

A modification of Paul Heaver's list. I change the Poe into a Miranda again (I've fallen in love with the K-wing) and keep the rest of the list identical. This gives me two forms of 360 TLT fire, as well as the Stresshog and a blocker. Although my damage is slightly nerfed, I gain Miranda+C-3po with the TLT, which is more HP and potentially more reliable in damage (Since I don't need to worry about arcs for 2 out of 4 ships).

PAULH'S CHAMP LIST(100)

Poe Dameron (38)

T-70 X-Wing (31), R2-D2 (4), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (24)

Y-Wing (18), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Gold Squadron Pilot (26)

Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

The list I was referencing above. It's obviously been shown to be extremely strong, but as a new player still, I question my piloting against more experienced players, and really am considering sticking with a TLT Miranda, simply because I can fly without worrying about arc, and the durability of Miranda+C-3po seems to be better than Poe's.

MIRANDA+POE+STRESS(99)

Miranda Doni (35)

K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Poe Dameron (38)

T-70 X-Wing (31), R2-D2 (4), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (26)

Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)

The final list I was considering is pretty different from the rest I have posted here today, but is a mash of some of these lists and is a fairly typical 3-ship Rebel Ace list. Miranda with TLT for reliable damage, plus her regen. Poe with standard loadout making him the second form of regen in the build, and then a Stresshog, because we all know they are one of the best ships for points spent.

Again, thank you everyone for reading. I apologize if I made any mistakes. I'm still really new and have only ever played against my friend who plays Imperials (But not meta lists). All critiques and opinions are welcome. I mainly want to get an idea of what I can expect with these types of builds and what may be the most forgiving for someone attending their first Store championship with no idea what to expect. Cheers!
