26 points left in a Rebel list, and not confident in flying Biggs... Any other good filler?

By Kdubb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Been working on a list for regionals. It has Keyan with opportunist, Adv Sensors, HLC and Wes with Adaptability and BB8, which leaves me with 26 points to spare. I'm considering Biggs, but I'm not super confident in my ability to fly him effectively. I've tried out a TLT Gold and Stresshog, but I'm not sure it will hold up in the current meta landscape. I've also tried a discounted Jake (Crack Shot, VI, Thrusters), but I just don't know if he has the punch I'm looking for either.

Any ideas?

Two Tala Squadron headhunters to add an extra 8HP to your list... Extra ships means you might be able to block some arcs or use them as ram ships to deny shots... Plus, if you watched the 2015 world championships, the humble z95 can on occasion put in some serious twerk...

You definitely want Biggs in that list with R4D6. He keeps your heavy hitters alive longer, so they can win you the game. Without Biggs a good player will just burn Keyan down as fast as possible (he is just a B-wing) to remove most off your fire-power.

31 Wes w/ Adapt, BB8, Integrated.

43 Keyan w/ Oppotunist, AdvS, HLC.

26 Biggs w/ R4D6, Integrated.

I like it. You've got Wes to frustrate triple U-boats, Keyan to wreck stuff, and Biggs to keep them both alive. Excellent Rebel synergy.

Another similar option that relies less on the Wes + Keyan synergy:

34 Wedge w/ PtL, BB8, Integrated.

40 Keyan w/ Rage, AdvS, HLC.

26 Biggs w/ R4D6, Integrated.

You don't get Keyan's crazy 5 die HLC shot, but the Rage HLC shot is still pretty deadly. In this list Wedge is dealing a lot more damage than Wes was in the other list, so while Keyan isn't hitting as hard, you're other ship is picking up the slack with his TL+Focus -1 agi shots. Biggs is still there as extra HP for the other two.
