The goal is to hit with Wes first to clear any tokens and add stress if everyone is in a good spot to finish off the ship the next turn then clean up with Poe and Braylen. Please let me know if there are any changes I should make. I would like to try to keep the list to two x wings(ether types pilots don't matter) and a single ARC. Thanks!

I ran a ragin' Braylen recently. You don't need Gunner — he doesn't miss that often. I recommend Chopper, so that you still have the option to rage on turns that you don't get rid of that other stress. That frees up 5 points to put Autothrusters or either Predator or PTL on Poe...or you could switch to PS 9 Poe + PTL.

Edit: Another idea... PTL on Poe, R2-D2 on Wes.

Thanks! I love braylen in the ARC and I can see the gunner being a bit over kill with Wes stripping the tokens before hand anyways. How would something like this look?

It looks great. The reason that PTL would be good on Poe is because with Pattern Analyzer he can focus + TL before the check pilot stress step. If his maneuver was green, then the stress he gets from PTL goes away. But you'd have to drop VI + Autothrusters. The real question is what does the PS meta look like for your area?

It's mostly on the higher side. Swarms or 4 ship builds aren't really a thing anymore. You will see them here and there but the normal palp defenders/bro bots/ regen builds are common.

I play here in south Texas San Antonio/Austin area if you are familiar with the meta here at all.

If you are seeing more Palp Defenders than Palp Aces, I would absolutely go with PTL + IA on Poe instead of VI. Brobots don't care about your VI on Poe. Imperial Aces and Dengaroo are what you will want VI + AT for.
