Poe, Ello, Biggs

By Mrk1984, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Has anyone used this list, or one similar?

Obviously a double regen T-70 can be a pain. Biggs will protect from the alpha strike, and with DTF and R4-D6, he might just survive 2 or more rounds of fire.

T-70 X-Wing: •Poe Dameron (37)

Autothrusters (2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

•R5-P9 (3)

T-70 X-Wing: •Ello Asty (37)

Autothrusters (2)

Draw Their Fire (1)

•R2-D2 (4)

X-Wing: •Biggs Darklighter (26)

Integrated Astromech (0)

•R4-D6 (1)

Total: 100/100

Draw Their Fire?! Why? It's better a Veteran Instinct or maybe Outmanouvers on Ello.

Also i dislike R4-D6, i think it's useful. So i'll put R2 or R5 Astromech on Biggs.

T-70 X-Wing: · Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

· R5-P9 (3)

Autothrusters (2)

T-70 X-Wing: · Ello Asty (30)

Push The Limit (3)

· BB-8 (2)

Autothrusters (2)

X-Wing: · Biggs Darklighter (25)

· R4-D6 (1)

Integrated Astromech (0)

-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

Played this kind of list on my last store. Ended 12 via my mistkes. Well Ello in this setup is creazy :-P

I'd go with Double DTF for Poe and Atsy. It's pretty overkill for Biggs' mitigation. But every so often opponents get lucky with Crit rolls.

What's more important is once Biggs' buys the farm Poe and Atsy can continue to mitigate damage when you're opponent is super lucky on the Crits.

Update:

I ran this list at a small tournament last night (3 rounds of swiss) I went 2-1,the loss came again RAC/palp and Soontir, I really regretted trying to get Fel first, 2 rounds of fire with all three ships, not a single damage. RAC ended the game with 1 hull and destroyed Poe the 2nd to last turn. Lost 67-33

The other games were 100-0 against a Ghost and Raging Tycho, and Whisper, Soontir and Zeta Leader.

Overall R4-D6/Integrated Astromech saved Biggs in every game several times, and DTF pulled 3 crits from him and one from Poe. Biggs was surprisingly very survivable. At one point there was a roll of 4 hits and a crit, I rolled 2 blanks, but only tool 2 damage. I never flew Ello before, the white Tallon roll is AMAZING.

Overall I was impressed with the list, with a different strategy, I probably would have won the first game, but who knows what I would have faced after that.
