What are your thoughts on my Ghost list

By migs6000, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just getting an idea from the community on this list. I'm welcome to any suggestions. Thanks in advance! PS, the R2 unit on Biggs is pretty much only to get IA.

VCX-100: · Kanan Jarrus (38)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Fire Control System (2)

Tactical Jammer (1)

Recon Specialist (3)

Recon Specialist (3)

· Ghost (0)

X-Wing: · Biggs Darklighter (25)

R2 Astromech (1)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Attack Shuttle: · Sabine Wren (21)

Push The Limit (3)

· Nien Nunb (1)

· Phantom (0)

r4-d6 on biggs

same cost but actually does things

I like the list and have used a similar one. For my play style I prefer Ezra with Rage and Chopper crew and an auto blaster turret. Gives you 2 more points to play with. Or for a tankier build, Ezra with elusiveness and stealth device.

Definitely take into consideration. Also, I would runr4-d6 if I had that Astro but I don't have the transport.

I'd drop one Recon and change Nien for Kannan so that Sabine won't end up stressed and be open to use her abbility every turn. PTL from her boost/br reveal a white/green maneuver and take another action.

EDIT: Kannan is riding the Ghost. Where did my brain go?

Doesn't work, as Kanan is already flying the Ghost.

Kanan and Biggs synergy is harder to fly than you might think, is my only caution for the list. And, IMO, I'd try to grab a shuttle you can fit a turret on. Ezra with PTL or Rage is a decent option, and then whatever turret fits.

Kanan doesn't like stress and unlike other Ghost builds, he really wants to stay away from the reds if possible. With that in mind I have found that TLT works really well on Kanan as it makes it less important if he needs to swing wide. I normally run a fairly cheap and tanky Raging Ezra as that will give you the extra points.

All valid points. Thank you.

Is a second Rec Spec really worth another 3 points? How does that work anyway? I am thinking you would end up with 3 focus tokens, not 4 but is that right?

My Kanan build uses 2 Recspec and it gives you the ability to lower 2 incoming attacks and have another left for your attack. Expensive, but I like it!

To OP, my build is:

Kanan - Ion Turret, FCS, 2 x Recspec & Title

Biggs - R4-D6 & Intergrated Astromech

Sabine - Lone Wolf & Title

I think you'd struggle to get range 1 autoblaster reliably against Fel and the like due to the low PS. I think a longer range turret works best on Kanan.
