Anyone tried a double-VCX build yet?

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

"Franch" from the Stay on Target podcast made it to the finals at a Cincy SC this past weekend with a dual VCX list:

2 with a prototype is actually a great idea. Any idea what the pilots and upgrades were?

Nope...wasn't there. Dying to know what he had myself.

Franch and I had playtested a couple different dual-Ghost builds and ultimately landed with the following. The only list he lost to was the winner with a 7 Academy Pilot & Dark Curse swarm (which he actually had beaten earlier in the day).

Chopper w/ FCS, Zeb, Dash Rendar, Autoblaster Turret

Lothal Rebel w/ FCS, Hera Syndulla, Ezra Bridger,

Prototype Pilot A-Wing w/ Refit

We talked about it on a podcast we recorded yesterday for Stay on Target. Should be up tomorrow!

Forget double VCX go with the 4 attack shuttles if you have that much money to spare.

Two lothals + FCS leaves 26 pts for Biggs, your choice of Y-wing or lots of other options

Hey there, that's my list! I think it should do great vs triple scout lists.

Lothal Rebel w/ FCS, Chopper

Lothal Rebel w/ FCS

Biggs Darklighter w/ R4-D6, IA

I flew this (minus chopper) in a match earlier today (not against uboats though). Worked great

I thought of this list the other day, seems pretty good to me

What are you talking about? Are you drunk? :)

Have you seen the half-phantom that you can pull off the back of the Ghost? Pretty easy to get 4 shuttles from only 2 ghost expansions.

I ran 2 VCX this weekend and went 2-2. Lost twice to two different whisper imperial aces builds.

Kanan - SJ, Recon, Recon, Engines, Dorsal Turret
Chopper- Scopes, Zeb, Leebo, Anti Pursuit Lasers, Autoblaster

Super fun, but once all the enemy guns come to bear on one of your ghosts, it actually dies pretty quick.

So this might be the pre-coffee haze speaking, but this seems downright sinister.

I put a list together for my son for the SC we just went to yesterday. He placed 5th with it.

The list was:

Hera + FCS + TLT + Kanaan

Chopper + FCS + TLT + Ezra

99 points.

He only lost to the 5 crackshot/autothruster/adaptability/testpilot/chaardanrefit Green Awings that ended up winning the Store Championship.

A-Wings winning a championship. Good times.

Dials?

Now I really want to try this build out. I'll probably have to use Vassal to test it out, but it seems like fun:

Lothal Rebel

- Fire Control System

- Hera Syndulla

- Han Solo

40 points

Lothal Rebel

- Ghost title

- Chopper

- Nien Numb or Advanced Scopes

36 points

Ezra Bridger

- Phantom title

- Rage

- Kyle Katarn

24 points

So you have one VCX who can basically use the full dial at will without regards for actions, another who can freely perform actions while stressed and take advantage of both arcs while the shuttle's docked, and a tanky shuttle that should be able to maintain good offensive efficiency and doesn't need to worry about saving focus tokens for defense.

If you're gonna run a docked phantom you should at LEAST find 2 points for an autoblster turret so you can use the double tap when someone's in range.

and even though it gets a bit spendy, an accuracy corrector. With that build its literally too good to pass on.
