Q for traitors and terrorists about Sabine Fel

By polmoneys, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking for a casual list featuring 'Sabine Fel'

Sabine Wren (21)

Push the Limit (3)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Kanan Jarrus (3)

She is the only reason to fly rebels ;)

As wingmates the easy choice is

"Chopper" (37)

Fire-Control System (2)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Hera Syndulla (1)

But what else? This catched my attention as has Lando on it

Ezra Bridger (20)

Wired (1)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Lando Calrissian (3)

Experimental Interface (3)

Very open to suggestions for as long as we keep Sabine Fel as is. Played twice the list first stressbot instead of Ezra, then Biggs + Crackshot. Both squads performed ok.

TIA

You probably want an Intelligence Agent in there somewhere to ensure she doesn't die too easily to PS 5+. Blockers for those ships are also a good idea.

Actually, how about this?

Sabine (21)

- PTL (3)

- Kanan (3)

- ABT (2)

- Phantom (0)

Total 29

Hera (40)

- Zeb (1)

- Int Agent (1)

- ABT (2)

- Enhanced Scopes (1)

- Ion Projectors (2)

- Ghost (0)

Total 47

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

- FCS (2)

I've used this Hera build casually and it seems like it complements Sabine pretty well. Hera blocks at PS 0 with Enhanced Scopes, using Int Agent to adjust her maneuvers accordingly, and then hopefully shoots whatever she blocks with Zeb. She gives Sabine a lot better game against higher PS aces (by keeping her safe in the initial joust, blocking & shooting them, and letting her arcdodge them with Agent). B-wing is just a 24 point filler, there are probably better options.

That Hera is pure evil, like it, cool use for Zeb. Truth is I've flown plenty of ties so blocking with a big base feels easy enough, I'd rather invest the points in Hera as crew 5 k-turning like crazy and a more complex third ship. That stress from Chopper is also a very sweet reward after a block.

Gracias for your input!

Intel agent makes a lot of sense though in the same way it does for a TIE/ph, but I think there's better options...

With the comparison to Feel here I'm thinking you might enjoy putting Kyle Katarn crew with Sabine and move Kanan to the VCX. That way you can in fact get double focus+evade with Sabine; on top of a barrel roll no less :)

Ezra Bridger (20)

Wired (1)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Lando Calrissian (3)

Experimental Interface (3)

I've actually thought about that Ezra before, but with Lone Wolf, not wired.

Considering Ezra's ability, why would you want to reroll eyeballs? Lando may have already give you a focus token for offense, and your ability covers your focus needs for defense, so it seems like blanks are the thing that need fixing.

If I can't clear stress comes to mind. At some point he might need to be unpredictable.

Su-ure...but during such times, when retaining your stress and keeping your pilot ability active, re-rolling your blanks would still be better than re-rolling your eyeballs.

In my mind the ideal senario is all autoturrets focusing fire on the same target so LW would trigger as often as Wired.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm exploring Chopper + 2 Attack Shutles, any ideas?

Are you also not being attacked back, in your ideal scenario? I guess that would be pretty ideal... but also, overly optimistic.

What about this:

Kanan Jarrus (38)

Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
"Chopper" (0)
Recon Specialist (3)
Guidance Chips (0)
Sabine Wren (21)
Push the Limit (3)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
R4-D6 (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Total: 100
I know. You asked fora Ghost and 2 attack shuttles, so if you're pretty set on that route, this is absolutely no help to you. I apologize for that. That being said, I think you might consider the above list. Each ship is PS5, so you can move them all interchangeably. Biggs and Kanan both work to protect your fragile but mobile little ace, Sabine, so that she can survive until the late game and hopefully outmaneuver anybody that's left. Likewise, Kanan can also help Biggs survive for a turn or two.
The Plasma Torps give you a rear arc at Range 2-3 for one shot only, but it'll be strong every time you fire it, thanks to the G-Chips and Recon specialist.
Sabine loses Kyle here, which I doubt you'll be a fan of, but having one re-positioning action and STILL having two actions thanks to PtL is probably plenty, especially since she'll need the evade token less in the early game.

playtest has been fun, for posterity the 'best' list with 2 Attack Shuttles featuring Sabine Fel I've come up with is:

"Chopper" (37)

Fire-Control System (2)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Hera Syndulla (1)

Intelligence Agent (1)

Ezra Bridger (20)

Push the Limit (3)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Lando Calrissian (3)

Sabine Wren (21)

Push the Limit (3)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Kanan Jarrus (3)

Now back to imperials :)
