Which list to play?

By Darth Sarlacc, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to figure out what list to fly for store event, not sure what the meta will be, I've seen people playing the whole spectrum.

List 1 - 100 points

Poe - Veteran Instincts, R5-P9, Autothrusters

Ello - Veteran instincts, R2-D2, Autothrusters

Gold Squad - BTL-A4, R2-A3, Ion Cannon or dump BTL and Ion for a TLT?

List 2 - 99 points

Poe - Veteran instincts, R5-P9, Autothrusters

Ello - Veteran Instincts, R2-D2, Autothrusters

Green Squad - A-wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Push the Limit, Autothrusters, Outmanuver

List 3 - 100 points

Poe - Veteran instincts, R5-P9, Integrated Astromech

Wes - Veteran Instincts, R2 Astromech, Integrated Astromech

Wedge - Predator, BB-8, Integrated Astromech

Thanks in advance.

Just FYI with list 1: without BTL you cannot double stress. You have to choose primary or TLT in arc, and cannot shoot the other weapon without the BTL. And the way TLT is worded the attack is only declared once, therefore only one stress is placed.

Thanks misread the card.

Revised List 1

I do that a lot. I would rather find out about that here than in the first round of shooting! (which often happens to me as well).

i had thought of doing something similar to list 3...but did lone wolf and R7-T1 on wedge....great ace killing

First list i would say :)

I like all three! :-) But yes, list 1 (with Gold - TLT, R3-A2, BTL-A4 title) seems to be the strongest.

I have been flying one very similar with some success(3rd in a SC).

Poe R5P9 AT and either VI or Crackshot

Wes R2D2 VI Shield upgrade or EU

Gold BTLA4 Ion Cannon R2A3.

Wes at 10 can neutralize a lot of the pilots the depend on having tokens on the board to use their abilities plus he is a tank and has the power of an X-Wing. The Gold is a threat again to neutralize abilities using the Ion and stress bot. Poe to carry the lifting.
