Corran, Tycho, Jake

By Torches, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With Imperial/Palp aces and u-boats dominating the game at the moment, Rebels are having a bit of a hard time.

The way I see it, Rebels could take a leaf out of some Imperial builds with their great action economy and high agility with high PS.

I came up with the following as a way of absorbing torp alpha strikes and still be resilient to Imp aces.

Tycho Celchu

Rage

PTL

Autothrusters

Refit

Title

30

Jake Farrell

Adaptability

PTL

Autothrusters

Refit

Title

27

Corran Horn

Crack Shot

R2D2

FCS

42

-99

I've only tested it on benchmark currently but it's done well against the top builds of all factions.

Itching to try it on the table for reals.

Pros -

PS 8

High agility

Good action economy

Regen

Small bid

Cons -

PS8!

Relatively low damage output

Fragile ships

So what do you think? Where would you take it? What options have I missed?

oh man, your playing to my heart strings... I love A's and E's.

I like the idea, but will Corran be able to survive without EU and without the ability to turtle up? I could see living with one or the other, but not without both.

Tycho Celchu (26)

Is how I would build it. and I've been toying with this in my head for a little while... I find the more actions the better with these three. So PTL is a must on Corran and Jake. But we can get with experimental interface and rage some extra fun. So boost, focus/rage. or focus/rage barrel roll... etc. etc. fun times

Why not three PS9's?

Corran Horn (35)

+ R2-D2 (4)

+ Hull Upgrade (3)

+ Fire-Control System (2)

+ Adaptability (0)

Tycho Celchu (26)

+ Experimental Interface (3)

+ Rage (1)

+ A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

+ Adaptability (0)

+ Chardaan Refit (-2)

Jake Farrell (24)
+ Push the Limit (3)

+ Autothrusters (2)

+ Veteran Instincts (1)

+ A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

+ Chardaan Refit (-2)

Both Tycho and Jake have triple action economy. Hull Upgrade keeps Corran from getting Wampa'd to death, among other things. All PS9 allows you to remain flexible in moving/shooting order.

Thanks for all the replies dudes.

Glad to see another A and E fanatic! I think you're right on Corran, PTL is a must for turtling up. I still feel like you need that FCS though...

I'm thinking of this list.

Interesting list. I understand why you've take it but I'd probably shift wingman to the GSP who's already playing a bit of a supporting role opening up shots for Corran.

Why not three PS9's?

I think this is really interesting.

Going to have a look at making this work, I hate losing autos on Tycho though...

I feel like Coran needs PTL.

I love this list! But I agree that Corran needs a PTL. Would it be better if VI is removed from Jake, and adaptability is used instead.

Kinda ruins the concept of 3 PS9s, though. ;)

Personally, I reckon PS8 plus a bid would see you right. In a moment of madness this list came to me -

Tycho

Prockets

Autothrusters

Rage

PTL

Title

35

Poe

Lone wolf

R5 P9

Autothrusters

38

Jake

Autothrusters

Adaptability

PTL

Title

Refit

27

-100

Could be real.
