DAS FUNK

By Aged Whiskey, in X-Wing Battle Reports

So, I'm on a ridiculous dry spell. I'm 3 and 14 of my last 17 games with two of those w's being drops. I attribute about 8 of those losses to testing a triple T-70/2xT-70 Sabine list that just can't hang vs Dengar or Defenders. The other 6 though are with different builds that I'm typically strong with, and are typically strong vs the meta. And of the three wins, my dice were to blame for the one that wasn't a drop, the greens were actually working (anyone I've played on vassal lately can attest that my reds have done well, but my greens seem a little more fickle than usual). I've used lady luck and some more than a couple games my greens betrayed me but nothing more than regular variance really.

This was a change to my regular win/loss ratio after about a month of playing DENGAROO almost exclusively. With that I won about two for every one I lost. So, it could be that I've moved from a powerhouse build to something else. Also, when I do go back and play DENGAROO people seem to have figured out it's tricks and how to fight it so that it's just not as effective as it once was.

Anyone got a method to break the funk?

Lists I've been using lately:

For the two X and shuttle list, I'm not a fan of Poe without regen, too overcosted. if you want to fly those three ships and want to try something different try this. Red Squadron Veteran (26)

Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Sabine Wren (21)
Juke (2)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Jan Ors (2)
Targeting Computer (2)
Red Squadron Veteran (26)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Total: 99
It's a bit novel and unexpected, not sure if it's the most cost efficient list but **** its fun and the t-70's are quite tanky, You can drop the targeting computer to give a 1 pt astro to each t-70 if you like.

For the palp aces list, I like vader with predator and dropping the stealth device lets gives you 99pts for the bid , thats how I'musing him, albeit in a triple aces list.

I don't have recommendations for your last list as I don't have experience flying it or vs it.
