Shocker! Soliciting input for a SC list.

By SirPickles, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So. Attending a tourney soon. I have the majority of my list figured out.

For sure.

Poe

VI

Autothrusters

Miranda

TLT

Stress Hog

The question comes when I try to spend those last 5 points.

The options.

1. R2-D2 on Poe. Intel Agent on Miranda. No initiative bid.

2. R5-P9 on Poe. Intel Agent on Miranda. 1 pt bid.

3. R2-D2 on Poe. No crew on Miranda. 1 pt bid.

4. R5-P9 on Poe. Either Tactican or Dash crew on Miranda. No bid.

I'm not sure how important a bid will be at PS 10 & PS 8. I usually build Poe with R2-D2 out of stress mechanic fear, but I have yet to face much stress this season. The tournament will happen before wave 8 hits, if that helps form an opinion.

Thoughts?

This list doesn't need intel agent, so that eliminates 1 & 2.

The most popular choice is 4. I would go 3 myself, but I think its a matter of preference...

I would choose 3 with the tactician just because the double stress can be game changing on the rare occasion you get it off.

I pick 4 with Tactician. I think best option.

Hey Blade. Can you elaborate on not needing Intel Agent? I kind of find that Miranda usually winds up in an awkward position vs higher PS stuff when it comes time to decide whether or not to SLAM.

Well, if high PS is really prevalent in your area and it gives you peace of mind, then go for it! But with Poe and the stresshog to draw attention, I would think its not too hard to slip Miranda out of harms way...

I pick 4 with Tactician. I think best option.
