Noob Rebel List(Pls Critique)!!!

By The22ndBattalion, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Been working on a few Rebel lists... The new wave gave me a few ideas... Thoughts?

List1:

Jake Farrel:

-PtL(3)

-VT(1)

-A-Wing Test Pilot(0)

-Stealth Device(3)

-Chardaan Refit(-2)

Keyan Farlander:

-PtL(3)

-FCS(2)

-B-Wing/E2(1)

-Jan Ors(2)

"Snap" Wexley:

-VT(1)

-R2-D2(4)

-Primed Thrusters(1)

-Integrated Astromech(0)

Snap can be replaced by Wedge:

Wedge Antillies:

-PtL with BB-8(5)

-Outmaneuver with a 2 point droid(5)

Another list is:

Prototype Pilot:

-Chardaan Refit(-2)

Rookie Pilot:

M9-G8(3)

-Integrated Astromech(0)

Blue Squadron Pilot:

-Collision Detector(0)

-B-Wing/E2(1)

-Jyn Erso(2)

Poe Dameron(PS8):

-VT(1)

-R5-P9(3)

-Black One(1)

-Integrated Astromech(0)

Both Squads are 100 points.

Any help/suggestions is appriciated:)

For some weird reason I like Wedge with Outmaneuver, when I play with my equally noob friends Wedge is either seen as a priority target, letting Keyan and Jake fire away or is discounted, allowing him to hopefully outmaneuver the opponent and minus the opponent's agility die by 2, potentially knocking out a pesky stealth device... Also it can reduce a usually high agility ship like the TIE Fighter/Interceptor to 1 agility die... provided you outmaneuver it...

Outmanoeuvre is excellent - when it works.

Predator works all the time, but isn't quite as awesome. Its reliability is why you see it so often in competitive lists and you rarely see Outmanoeuvre.

For Keyan, I like to use Stay on Target and Hera crew. But he costs too much and dies too quickly, in my opinion. For the same points you can get a regenerating Poe or Miranda.

This is one of my go-to lists for casual play, and I placed 7th out of 14 in my first tournament with it.

Jake Farrell (31) - A-Wing

Veteran Instincts (1), Proton Rockets (3), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Push The Limit (3)

Poe Dameron (36) - T-70 X-Wing

Push The Limit (3), BB-8 (2)

Keyan Farlander (33) - B-Wing

Opportunist (4)

A few notes on the build: 100 points is terrible for a squad in need of the initiative bid. Both Poe and Jake live longer with Autothrusters. You can make a small bid for initiative by swapping Prockets for Chardaan Refit and giving Poe and Jake the Autothrusters they need to deal with turrets. Unfortunately those Proton Rockets are an A-wing's best offense. It's a trade-off between hit harder or live longer.

Hmm thanks for the advice... I was wondering though, what would be a good Miranda/Poe Regen build?

Miranda

Twin laser turret

Recon specalist

Poe

Vet insticts/predator/adaptability

R5p9

Autothrusters

Fill list to taste. Seeing as how you like a-wings maybe adapability poe and

Tyco

Rage

Adapability

Test pilot

Chardian refit

99 points

Thats 2 ps9 aces and miranda with enough regen oppertunity to drive opponents batty, although i'd much rather i had 1 spare point to slap thrusters on tyco as well

I use one very much like it with Tycho Celchu, Jake, and Keyan. I've noticed that Keyan gets destroyed in the current meta though. My yo-yo tournament list is now all four named A-Wing pilots! They are crazy good value for the points.

As for the second list, Poe and 15-point A-Wings are always good, but I think the two ships in the middle will get destroyed in most jousts and will get outmaneuvered like crazy. I'd recommend a large ship (Dash Rendar?) Instead of both.

ahh ok thanks :) the actual idea for the rookie pilot was to carryM9-G8...XD

oh and btw, would it serve me better to buy a k-wing or a e-wing? Thanks! Right now I only have Imp/Rebel Aces, the two core sets, an X-Wing and a TIE Advanced Proto... lol. Planning to buy maybe K-Wing HotR Imp Veterans a TIE Advanced/Phantom and a Y-Wing? Thoughts on what I should buy? Thanks :)

Also wondering if Snap can fit anywhere in the list... Could he possibly replace Poe someway? I really like his manuveribility...

Thoughts?

Miranda:

-TLT

-Recon Specialist(btw what is this for? idkXD)

-Advanced SLAM

Snap:

-Veteran Instincts

-R5-P9(Any thoughts how to squeeze the points into R2-D2?)

-Primed Thrusters

-Integrated Astro

Jake:

-Adaptability

-Autothrusters

-PtL

-A-Wing Test Pilot

-Chardaan Refit

As a side note, all pilots are PS8...

Would by any chance Advanced Sensors + Rage on Keyan work? (Provided he doesn't do a red)

EDIT: Never mind.

K-wing over E-wing for sure. Corran Horn is the only E-wing pilot with any degree of usefulness, and he requires upgrades from other expansions to do anything without dying quickly. The K-wing is a solid part of the Rebel lineup, and the K-wing expansion is loaded with upgrades you can use elsewhere.
