You're the BEX (around)

By WarriorPoet, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Unfortunately, many things can take this down. I made it on a whim to try out Poe and fly my two favourite vessels.

Poe Dameron, T-70 (31)

R2-D6 (3)

[integrated Astromech (0)]

Etahn A'baht, E-wing (32)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire-Control System (2)

Keyan Farlander, B-wing (29)

Stay on Target (2)

Total: 100

Not having any pilot skill higher than 8 killed me in the one match I got in last night, since my opponent's ships were PS9 and 10, respectively. Etahn took a Proton Bomb to the face after the first round of fire because I forgot to barrel-roll him out of danger, and I didn't put Integrated Astromech on Poe.

Taking on a VI Whisper and VI Boba was difficult, but the endgame came down to Poe versus Whisper. Whsiper had 1 hull left, and got Poe down to 1 hull before I was able to slip away to regen 1 shield, and then was prepared to regen a second one, but he barely flew Whisper off the board.

Feedback on how to improve? I'd like to keep the B, E, and X (T-70), and would like to have unique pilots for each, but I'm not married to it. Maybe drop Keyan to a Dagger and put a cannon and FCS on it?

r2-d6 is the 1 point astro that gives you an ept if you don't already have one (aka, worthless on poe who has an ept)

r5-p9?

Poe (V.I, r5-p9, integrated) [35]

Corran (v.i, r2-d2, fcs) [42]

Blue Squaddie [22]

[total: 99]

Yeah, I meant R5-P9, not R2-D6...

I might play around with that list, thanks!

I'm just here to give you credit for the subject line. Well played fella .. now go and sweep a leg.

Off topic = I love how the rules clearly state "No kicks to the head". Yet he wins a kickass trophy, glory and the dame .. with a kick to the head.

Ha, thanks.

Yeah, that was always confusing - cheating is Okay if you're the underdog, but it's simultaneously the defining characteristic of the bully?...

Definitely going to be thinking "Sweep the leg!" as I play this list at the an SC in my area Saturday...
