My local shop has a bunch of defenders floating around in one way or another right now. Additionally, the other lists that are being played are: A-wing aces, Crack Swarm, Green Arrow A-wings, and Triple Scouts. The following list is what I ran last week in our local tournament. I came in second, losing only to a double defender and shuttle palp list. I wiped the other three lists I played against, losing only the Y-wing in those matches.

Poe Dameron: Predator, R5-P9, Autothrusters

Ezra Bridger: PTL, TLT, Chewbacca, Hull Upgrade

Gold Squadron Pilot: TLT

Ezra is nearly impossible to take down and is very rarely not able to shoot, regen Poe does all his regular shenanigans, and the Y wing is there to carry another TLT.

Let me know what you think and what could be added or subtracted.

so literally every list there except for the triple scouts will get ruined by sabine bomber Ks, if you wish to go that route

even defenders with their might 6 health only last a turn longer than your conventional ace

I like your list (TLTs rock defenders) but I don't reconmend Poe v x7s. Not because he can't compete (he can!), but because it's just a never-ending story if you get into a 1v1

could play miranda to fit more into the TLT theme, and she can pack a nasty homing missile to boot

The K wing is a good idea. I made the same build, minus Poe, with a Miranda that looked like:

Miranda: TLT, Homing Missiles, Guidance Chips

I hate the K wing dial, but I can see how useful it would be here. One question: Would it be better to put in a different K wing pilot to allow for Extra Munitions? Or is it simply better to have Miranda spend shields to get in one big Homing Missile hit?

Thanks for the response!

oh Miranda is the far superior K-wing by a country mile

I've run her with EM, but only ever shot the missile once anyway so eh

would recommend Long range scanners over chips, though. More dice means more chances to blank and LRS can remain useful even after the missile is spent

LRS makes a bunch of sense. I will be trying out this list with Miranda tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas and info!
