When Wave 8 was released, I played in a tournament that weekend. I was playing for fun and threw together a list of 3 Rebel A-Wings (Jake, Tycho, Gemmer). Tough buggers to hit. However, in the tournament someone brought 2 Generic Ghosts with a Phamton and had a pretty nasty combo for agile ships. They had Autoblaster Turret and Accuracy Corrector; with the Phantom docked they could one shot an A-Wing at range 1 in a single turn.

With the emergence of the alpha strike and rise of the arc dodgers; I was trying to figure out a way the Rebels can contend better after the release of Wave 8. Borrowing the person's general idea I went with the following below.

44 points
“Chopper”
Ghost Title
Accuracy Corrector
Autoblaster Turret
Ion Projector

Added Chopper and Ion Projector to act as a type of "gravity" well for ships. Giving them Ion and Stress for next turn movement predictability. Dealing with alpha strike is a bit trickier. Not sure of the best complement of this build to help deal with this aspect. I was toying with the idea of having either 2 A-Wings in the build or 1 A-Wing and Ezra.

30 points
Tycho Celchu
A-Wing Test Pilot
Chardaan Refit
Wired
Push the Limit
Autothrusters

26 points
Ezra Bridger
Phantom Title
Autoblaster Turret
Hera Syndulla
Push the Limit

Figure Ezra ability can make it difficult to shoot him down and make it more difficult for arc dodgers to deal with.

Or

28 points
Jake Farrell
A-Wing Test Pilot
Chardaan Refit
Veteran Instincts
Autothrusters
Push the Limit

28 points
Tycho Celchu
A-Wing Test Pilot
Chardaan Refit
Wired
Autothrusters
Rage

Overall, I'm not trying to build a hate squad against these two build. Just trying to figure something out that can deal with these two revelant arch-type builds and contend with other builds out there. Looking for some constructive criticism/feedback.

Thanks

Rage Tycho kind of really wants prockets. It makes him actually threatening so people will waste shots trying to get through his Evade+focus(with rage) or double focus, which is my personal fave, since on 3 dice you usually roll focus.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure where I can swing the 5 extra points though with removing the refit and adding proton rockets. Possibly could down grade Jake to another lower PS pilot or maybe I can go with two:

28 points

Green Squadron Pilot

A-Wing Test Pilot

Proton Rockets

Wired

Push the Limit

Autothrusters

You could easily get the 5 points by downgrading Ezra in your first build to Elusiveness and the Phantom title. For 22 points, you get a hard-to-hit late-game tank with 3 red dice. Then you can throw Prockets on Tycho and Hera on Chopper for endless 5Ks!

Granted, that'd be a 35 point Tycho. A lot invested in a 2-attack ship with 4 health.
