Biggs and Poe's Day Out - Squad list critique

By Riptide, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just looking for some feedback on my current Rebel build. Seems interesting but I haven't tried it yet. I don't have a huge collection and I can't add ANYTHING to the build I don't own. On the rebels side, I currently have both core sets, Rebel Aces, Millennium Falcon, Z-95 Headhunter, and YT-2400 expansions. For upgrades, on the overall collection I have Imperial Aces, TIE Defender, TIE Phantom, and Slave I expansions.

Squad Build:

X-wing: Biggs Darlighter, R2-D2 (29)

T-70 X-wing: Poe Dameron, Push the Limit, BB-8 (36)

B-wing: Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Z-95 Headhunter: Tala Squadron Pilot (13)

Total: 100/100

Thoughts? Concerns? Better builds based on my collection shown above?

I would suggest to put R2 on poe because biggs is going to die in the first 2 rounds of fire. its a waste of 4 points to put on biggs

Wow, I knew he drew fire but I didn't realize he went down that quick. Any recommended upgrade for Biggs to round out at an even 100 points? I could just trade BB-8 over to him I guess

The agility droid is nice on Biggs. Can't remember the name. Action add an agility.

Try to keep him at range 3 as well. With the droid and range you can roll 4 dice. Auto thrusters can help as well. But that's adding points.

Just remember he will die. Make use of the turns that he is being targeted. If you can do that it will be worth it.

I would only put a 1 point astromech on Biggs and Integrated Astromech (you would need the T-70 expansion), he's going to die quick, so save the points. You could also try using R2-F2 for an extra defense die on him. But honestly, without Integrated Astromech, I would just run him naked (that mustache just begs for him to be naked)

Then put R2-D2 on Poe to regen. (but if you use R2-F2 on Biggs, you can't use PTL) Veteran Instincts is good on Poe as well.

I would change it to this list with what you currently have.

T-70 X-Wing: •Poe Dameron (38)

Predator (3)

•R2-D2 (4)

X-Wing: •Biggs Darklighter (25)

B-Wing: Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)

Z-95 Headhunter: Tala Squadron Pilot (13)

Total: 100/100

The things I would debate on this would be dropping the Z-95 down to a bandit to block a little, and PTL or VI instead of predator on Poe.
