What is the consensus on PTL Poe v Regen Poe?

I really love the PTL barrel roll boost shenanigans. Regen seems more "competitive" but is pretty dull.

I'm torn.

SC list (99)

Green Squadron Pilot (19) - A-Wing

Crack Shot (1), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Lightning Reflexes (1)

Poe Dameron (38) - T-70 X-Wing

Push The Limit (3), BB-8 (2), Autothrusters (2)

Prototype Pilot (15) - A-Wing

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Blue Squadron Pilot (27) - B-Wing

Fire Control System (2), Ion Cannon (3)

Ptl bb8 poe is my absolute personal fav and i almost always play him that way evev with the stresshog meta.

Just my personal bias tho...

Poe has strangely limited action economy, because taking anything other than Focus is a mistake.

Opening the 2nd and 3rd actions to him is therefore very valuable.

However, VI-Regen Poe doesn't need the action economy as much as you'd expect, as it's incredibly survivable, and is a counter-build to one of the best lists in the metagame at the moment.

Honestly? If you want to use BB8 Poe, consider BB8 Wedge instead. Very much fun.

Played both.

Wanna have tons of fun and constantly pissing your opponent off? Take BB8. That little ball makes Poe's (un)predictability on par with Echo's. But really need flawless flying here. And i really mean FLAWLESS.

Wanna play safe and have lategame beast? Take regen Poe. He is predicable (especially with R2D2) but hell...shooting it down is a misery. I saw a game that came down to 60+ deci vs Poe and that black-orange bee was like "meh boring".

Regen poe for competitive mostly, bb8 poe for more fun. BB8 is better for wedge i think

I'm going to practice BB8 Poe against whatever my friend is bringing to the Tournament.

What are your thoughts on the4 ship list above? The other option would be to ditch the prototype A wing and upgrade the green to Jake with prockets.

Your a-wings got no autothrusters....all the opinion it needs:P

Yea upgrading to Jake is propably good idea. And for the control element i would ditch bwing i lieu of stresshog.

I have played both, and from my experience bb8 poe is just too predictable being stuck doing greens. My opponents consistently destroyed my poe in 2 turns of combat. VI regen poe (r5-p9, not r2-d2! Greens are too restricting) is a much better choice. Poe's ability pretty much forces you to focus with him every action. May as well use that focus to regen as well. This allows you to put r2-d2 on someone else like corran. A poe/corran regen list with a chardaan refit a wing as a blocker is a very powerful list indeed.

However, it literally hurts me to fly poe without bb8, therefore I boycott rebels all together and just fly scum instead lol
