What to pair Curvy Rey with?

By Polda, in X-Wing Squad Lists

YT-1300: · Rey (45)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Smuggling Compartment (0)

· Kanan Jarrus (3)

· Finn (5)

· Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop (1)

Counter-Measures (3)

Glitterstim (2)

SHIP TOTAL:60

Simple question, say you have a 60 point Rey in a Fat Falcon. What would you fly her with?

Go classic with three Talas? Drop countermeasures and swap VI for Adaptability to get some B-Wings in?

I have flown around 10 times with:

Rey + Finn + Kanan + VI + Segnor + Engine Upgreade

Lothal Rebel + Hera + Zeb + Autoblaster turret + FCS

Works like a charm! You have potential for 2x 5 dice attacks with good mods. And Rey doing Segnor + Boost is gold.

Lothal Rebel is definitely a solid choice. You could probably make a decent Poe up for points as well.

Is Engine Upgrade really a good choice without PtL? Yeah you can get rerolls from Rey's ability but only blanks and since you're boosting after Segnor's you can't focus.

Man I like that the FCS, Hera, ABT Lothal is a thing in rebel lists :D

Maybe this variant:

Rey (Adaptability[+1], Falcon title[new], Finn, Kanan, Engine)

Lothal Rebel (FCS, ABT, Hera, Han Solo)

100 points

Biggs is always a decent choice to draw that first round of fire (with IA and R4-D6 of course). Drop VI for Adaptability and field a Prototype Pilot as your 3rd ship.

Or you could go with a regen ship similar to how super-dash builds used to. Poe (PS 8) with R5-P9, Pattern Analyzer, PTL and Autothrusters clocks in at 41 points. Or drop Autothrusters for IA and upgrade to PS 9 Poe.

Apologoies for the minor necromancy (maybe more of a body ******...), but seeing as we are discussing chunky Reys, how about this for a build:

Rey

Outmaneuvre

Finn

Kanan Jarrus

Title (sloop)

Engine

(61)

Wild space fringer

Cassian andor

Smuggling compartment

APL

Feedback array

(36)

The idea being that the YT takes the place of the bumpmaster without intimidation which is a bit of a bummer but Cassian Andor is superior to the standard intel angent and making it slightly easier to get the bump in those 50:50 situations, plus it's natural PS2. Then we have Rey trying to line up a 4-5 dice primary with the sloop and outmanuevre (which hopefully mitigates the loss of intimidation to a certain extent).

Not sure how competitive this will be, but am looking forward to trying it out anyway.

Poseph P Dameron.

Norra (since Lothal Rebel is boring).
