In need of assistance. Squad ideas

By Cgriffith, in X-Wing

I'm looking at trying two Rebel lists and I am little new still. So if I wanted to run the Falcon and Ghost what are some good builds and what about either the Ghost or Falcon and 2 B-Wings?

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I have been throwing around a falcon build that might work for you.

Chewbacca with push the limit, title, engine upgrade, Kanan Jarrus.

Traditionally a Han Solo with C3P0 on the ship was popular, but I have not seen it around in a while.

Also consider for the Ghost, Chopper with an autoblaster and accuracy corrector, along with the title. Or pairing Hera with the Navigator crew.

What does the Kanan Jarrus/Chewbacca combo offer?

Just more actions and hopefully a bit better at tanking damage. Normally just having a PTL on a falcon made it predictable, but it can pretty much use it's full dial with Kanan. It can always try to boost away or always be in an engagement with a focus and evade, and have more escape routes to offer than just the normal four green moves. But like I said, I haven't really had a chance to test it yet. I haven't seen a ton of Falcons lately...I have seen a few ghosts though, they end up either being really dodgy Heras or Choppers ramming the ship down people's throats.

Depending on who you will be playing against..like which environment...you may experience a hard time with all low agility ships for a while. Until things change in the meta.

but if you cruise around in the sub forum above that is nothing but pages and pages of squad ideas...you may get some inspiration.

If you are hanging out, playing casual with some friends...then dont worry about the list so much. play whatever you think may be fun.

welcome to the game!

Thanks for the suggestions. Just got the Falcon/Ghost expansions and while low agility I love the hull and damage output the can deal. And of course I actually like flying them.

You can create some fun thematic lists that are reasonably competitive from the Ghost by sticking with characters from Star Wars: REBELS.* That's something I really like with that ship. I like having Hera in the Ghost, and Sabine in the Phantom with Push the Limit and Kanan Jarus as Crew (pre-maneuver boost or barrel roll, Push the Limit to focus, white or green move to de-stress, evade or barrel roll if you boosted originally).

Twin-Laser Turret or Autoblaster Turret are both solid choices for either the Ghost or Phantom.

Chewbacca flying the Falcon with the title, C-3PO, and R2-D2 is pretty tanky and right at 50 points. You still have an EPT slot open if you want to add something like Predator for more offensive power.

* It was great when the first time I flew it, I had Hera, Kanan, Sabine, Ezra, AND Chopper in my build, and my buddy took out his list which included The Inquisitor—who he was flying for the first time also—and Agent Kallus. :)
