Lothal rebel + 2 T-70 X-wings

By kayarn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Could I get some advice on the Build below for Casual Play?

Red Squadron Vet + PTL + R2 Astro + IA - 30 pts

Red Squadron Vet + PTL + R2 Astro + IA - 30 pts

Lothal Rebel + Hera + Ezra - 39 pts

Total 99 pts

Objective is to get the opponent focused on the VCX while the T-70's flank.

Hera Lets the VCX have full use of its dial while racking up stress to allow Ezra to change focuses to crits on offense.

For awhile I ran a similar build, swapping Ezra for Chopper crew and Autothrusters on the T70s. My problem was that once the VCX died, the T70s wernt punchy enough to manage against the ships in my meta.

You could switch out the PTL's for crack shots, then put FCS and auto blaster turret on the VCX. FCS seems almost essential to me with the Hera/Ezra combo.

PTL red vets are great using TL and focus for lots of hits and crits.

I've been flying red vets with Targetting astromech and crack shot. The TA really makes them shine in a dogfight since they can K-turn/T-roll with impunity.
