Meta Competitive, Rebels List idea...

By C3gorach, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So i tried building a competitive rebels list, but dunno if i "succeeded" since i am quite new to the game. Any insight / critique is welcomed.

===============
Ace+Stress Test
===============
100 points Pilots
------
Poe Dameron (PS8 Version) (37)
T-70 X-Wing (31), R5-P9 (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2)
Gray Squadron Pilot (28)
Y-Wing (20), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)
Eaden Vrill (35)
YT-2400 Freighter (32), Intelligence Agent (1), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
------

It's not too bad, Vrill can be a big blocker, and APL can get some damage in. You could also consider using an Ion Cannon on him to get the most out of his ability. The Y-wing will double stress a ship, if you get the ion shot in, they will carry 2 stress with them next round and you can get 2 rounds of extra dice shots at an actionless ship.

Very nice list. I played something quite similar at two tournaments and did OK (3-2 and 2-2). Here was my list:

Poe (VI, R5-P9, Autothrusters)

Gray (TLT, R3-A2, BTL-A4 title)

Vrill (Recon Specialist)

100 points

It's a bit of a one-trick pony but it can be effective. I usually kept both the Gray and Vrill together, while Poe flanks. Opponents' aces especially are very afraid of the stressbot so they tend to do suboptimal maneuvers/actions just to stay away or out of arc.

I was in between APL and Ion Projector but the i preferred the damage over the Ion cause every damage they can't evade against an Ace counts!

I have been wondering about these stress hogs. I thought the R3-A2 FAQ clarified that TLT only causes R3-A2 to active once and so there would be no double stressing anymore? Did something else happen I can't find that allows the double stress still?

BTL-A4 title allows you after you perform a primary weapons attack to immediately attack with a secondary turret weapon, thus 2 attacks, 2 stress. Though you can only attack on your firing arc cause of the title.
