Biggs with Beef

By procopper, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am playing in a local tournament where the following cards are illegal:

1) Emperor Palpatine

2) Push the Limit

3) Guidance Chip

4) X/7 Title

5) Twin Laser Turret

I would like to try this, and would love some feedback:

Biggs Darklighter (25p)

* R4-D6 (1p)

* Integrated Astromech (0p)

Lothal Rebel (35p)

* Fire-Control System (2p)

Lothal Rebel (35p)

* Fire-Control System (2p)

Total Points: 100

That build will be pretty strong. Here are a couple things to keep in mind:

1. Target Lock ordinance can ignore Biggs now.

2. If your opponent can get behind you, you will have trouble. Defenders in particular might be rough for you, even without the X7 title.

3. Stress will be a problem for you also. If someone brings a stressmule, you need to kill it fast.

That's a lot of hit points to chew through. Let us know how it worked!

One of my main interests in the list is that without guidance chip, my assumption is ordinance will be a non-factor, or at least greatly reduced. My best guess is lots of HLCs? Honestly I'm not sure. But I figure lots of red dice, TLs and Hit points cant hurt.

I'm thinking dengaroo might be one of the stronger remaining lists after all those cards are gone...

PTL on manaroo is nice, but I'm sure the build can get by without it (or even replace it somehow). Apart from that Dengaroo loses nothing of consequence.

On the plus side, that list looks like it might do pretty well there. I'd say it's a solid list.

Don't know if it's exactly what I would play (I'd have to spend some time theorycrafting for a build), but I certainly would not be sad if I had to play it.

Recon Specialist, probably.

Interesting tournament banning some of the more popular cards. It'll be interesting to see what people bring without having access to PTL.

K4 is probably better in the absence of PTL.
