Any advice on how to keep this list alive?

By Aged Whiskey, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've played about 10 games of this online and have a record of 2 and 8 with it. Maneuverability wise- it holds it's own, damage wise- it keeps up (doesn't do anything spectacular), but it can't stand up to a beating at all. I get that the variance of two defense isn't all that great, but without an evade or something it's just tough to keep these guys alive. I'm not looking for the obvious, like "fly better", what I'm looking for is a list change or something.

I like the look of the list.

Nice work on the stress T-70, that is a nice synergy between Red Vet's R3-A2's and Wired :ph34r:

That being said.....

It looks like Poe and Jake are out dodging arcs, and Red Vet is trying to slow enemies down with stress. Which seems like things are being pretty spread out, and there isn't a shield region in sight.

How about THIS?

Change Red Vet to Blue Ace, R5-P9 for shield regeneration, weapons guidance for punch.

Poe drops Black one title because he will more than likely be out of range 1 with his squad mates arc dodging. I gave him Plasma torpedo for punch and so that you still have ordnance after I took Proton Rockets away from Jake :(

Jake drops the PRockets in favour of the point reduction through the refit.

Thoughts?

Of the games I've played, the Wired T-70 has done solid work, so I don't know how I feel about dropping it. The weakest point has been the A-wing so I do feel like taking some punch off of it and redistroing could be a good thing, but if I'm going to take the missile off the missile delivery system (Jake) maybe I should drop the pilot down to a GSP anyway. I do like the extra pow on Poe, without GC though the punch isn't going to be so hot you think?

Instead of rerolling ur defense eyeballs, just change 1 on defense automatically with Luke.

Luke + R3-A2 + Predator + IA

Then you can field 28pt Jake.

Another option is just drop Jake for naked Vrill. With stress he is a 3PWT large base blocker. Drop the title on Poe and he can get Intel Agent or Tactical Jammers.
