Hey folks,
I was thinking about a Squad for an upcoming Store-Championship. The Idea based on my purchase of the T-70 and the "Integrated Astromech", which seems to be somekind of little fix for the old X-Wing.
In my Meta I will expect Brobots, Quad-TLTs and some Imperial Aces.
Biggs (26 P.)
- R4-B6
- Integrated Astromech
The mustache Biggs is the key and "fundamentum" of my Squad. I think that his ability is one of the best in the game. Sure I will give the enemy 26 points, but a Doom-Shuttle is also 24 points worth and it's a good bill - so is Biggs, cause his sacrifice will allow the other Ships to crush the enemy. I'll hope that he might survive more than 2 Combat-Rounds with R4-B6 (specially against HLCs) and the Integrated Astromech (screw you Direct Hit!)
Wedge Antilles (32 P.)
- Crackshot
- R5 or R2
- Integrated Astromech
Wedge is a true Hard-Hitter and possibily one of the best Killers in the game. Unfortunateley his defense is very weak and he won't have a chance in focus-fire. But with Biggs, he might see 4-5 Shooting-Rounds, where he is targeting the enemys best ships. At the beginning I can choose target lock, after Biggs death I will change to Focus. Either R2, for bedder positions/maneuvering after K-Turns or R5 for fixing those stupid Ship-Crits, which are troubling my action economy. Crackshot shall give Wedge more punsh and is used for killing an enemy or for bringing a crit on a very priceful ship. He shall be my MVP and bring the Damage to the enemy. With Integrated Mech I'll hope he survives some extra round.
Gold Squadron Pilot (26 P.)
- R3-A2
- Twin Laser Turret
- BTL Title
Nothing much to say here. The Stress-Hog is a must have for a Rebel Squad, 3 Attacks and the Stress against Aces and BroBots is too worthy. Still thanks to Biggs, he might see some more combat rounds and also it will be very difficult for the enemy to find an attack angle.
17 points to go. I'am not sure what to do with these points and could use some help.
My ideas:
1) A-Wing with Refit and Thrusters. Exactly 17 Points and a nice little blocker. But the PS 1 bothers me, specially against Quad-TLT, where this A-Wing wouldn't have a chance here.
2) Naked Blount - for stripping Aces Stealth Device - honestly I think with the Stresshog and also Wedge, I don't need more firepower vs Aces
3) Bandit Squadron Pilot with Assault Missile - the weapon against Swarms and specially a nice damage dealer to close Formations.
4) Tala with Concussion Missile - PS 4 Rebel Fighter is more useful and the Concussion Missile should be more "safe" for dealing high damage to a single target.
5) Bandit or Tala and putting more Stuff on my other aces - don't like that much, cause I think that - when Biggs died, Wedge is the next target - so I don't want too many points on him. PS 4 Stress-Hog might be an idea.
What do you guys think? Is there still a chance for Biggs/Wedge and their friends to have a chance in the 7.5 Meta?
