Most Survivable/Durable Builds

By ObiWan, in X-Wing

I'd like to see all of your brilliant ideas for creating a build that can take a hit. Be it through large hull/shield value, green dice/opposing player red dice shenanigans, or the classic Rebel Regen. Below is a list that I think is fun to fly and has some great defense, probably not the "Most" survivable, but still decent, and no regen, for all of you regen haters out there:)

100 pts

Biggs...............R2-F2, Integrated Astro......................................28 pts

Captain Rex.....naked (disturbing image)...................................14 pts

Thane Kyrell.....Jyn Erso, M9-G8, AO.........................................31 pts

Jess Pava.........R2 Astro, Primed Thrusters, Integrated Astro...27 pts

The idea is for Biggs to use R2-F2 to get an extra green every round, Thane uses Jyn to pass Biggs focus tokens, then when opposing players attack Biggs, Thane kicks in to put a TL on the most fearsome attacker and uses M9-G8 to force them to re-roll an attack dice. Captain Rex also forces one opposing player to use 1 less attack dice.

Finally, Jess is just there for fun. With 3 wingman she can re-roll 3 dice on both attack and defense. Basically she can focus and have a free TL each round, and a TL effect on her green dice. If you want, you can drop the astromech or Primed Thrusters from her to give Biggs R2-D2 regen.

This would have been more impressive before the Biggs nerf, I'd love to sneak the Black One title in to help clear TL's and force players to target Biggs, but still, like I said, decent.

I like your list, seems very durable indeed! and more importantly seems like a lot of fun. I can't wait to see some of the new rebel toys show up in competitive lists, there is so much to play round with, I hardly know where to start.

I do believe that the Black One title only fits on Nien, Ello or Poe at the moment so that would be quite difficult to fit in :)

Thanks! I'm all about fun lists, and I like the versatility in this list.

It's not super creative, but a triple x7 Defender list is very durable. 3 defense dice plus a free evade token and a focus token make it really hard to push damage through, then add in the fact that they can take quite a bit of damage and it's a very frustrating combo. That and they can get behind you really easily.

It can also go on Snap Weley if he has Veteran Instincts (but not Adaptability).

Tel Trevura, Hull Upgrade, Gonk, Determination, Glitterstim. + Serissu

Experimental Interface, Lone Wolf or PTL if preferred.

But most people are having too much fun with Scouts, Dengar or Manny to notice.

Poor Trevura the Tank Engine.

Edit: R5-P8 or Savaged AM to taste.

Kanan vcx 100, Biggs and captain rex, upgrades to taste, anyone shooting at Biggs may end up only ever rolling 1 attack dice, it may even reduce them to 0 dice

Might not even need Biggs, have roak make Rex ps 12 so he shoots 1st

Leebo w/ Determination plus toys (Mangler Outrider)

Chewbacca w/ C3P0, R2D2 Crew

Season all other upgrades to taste. I know you guys remember flying against double pancakes!

I like this, very nice combo. You could call it "Bigg K-Rex",

Sadly, I joined x-wing after those days, but it still seems like a solid build.

I've had fun with a VCX with Reinforced Deflectors and Chewbacca crew ... 18 hp equivalent with pseudo regen. I've regen'd 4-6 shields in a game with it.

Also Blue Ace / Red Ace with R2-D6 and VI.

100 points.

(98)

Kanan Jarrus (51) - VCX-100

Fire Control System (2), Autoblaster Turret (2), Recon Specialist (3), Lando Calrissian (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Captain Rex (17) - TIE Fighter

Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Jan Ors (2)

Roark Garnet (30) - HWK-290

Twin Laser Turret (6), Jyn Erso (2), Moldy Crow (3)

Every ship can get multiple focus/evade tokens because of jyn and Jan, Roark can make Rex shoot at ps 12 to reduce attacks before anyone else shoots, as well as Kanan using focus to do so

2 points to play with so can either put stealth device on Rex for repositioning shinnanagans or other upgrades can be switched around as needed

Tarn Mison + M9-G8 + IA

Red Ace + R2-D2 + Comm Relay + IA

Jess Pava + R5 + IA

Bandit Sq. Pilot

100 pts; seems quite durable to me :)
