what is your current list?

By kyten44, in X-Wing

My current list is Rey, Poe. I fly him with BB-8 PtL instead of regen, and it is a hoot! Everyone should try hyper-mobile Poe instead of regen Poe.

Before that, it was

Omega Leader (Juke, Comm Relay)

Omega Ace (Push the Limit, Comm Relay)

Omega Sq. Pilot (Crackshot)

"Backdraft" (Veteran Instincts, Fire-control System, Special Ops Training)

I'm 4W, 1L with this archetype (trying out different upgrades). It's fun, but the approach is so important in order to keep Omega Leader alive. I just like that it's a thematic First Order squad.

But my squad; my all-time FAVORITE squad that I would run any time, anywhere, at the drop of a hat is:

Alpha Fleet Officer

4x Alpha Sq. Pilot

Omicron Group Pilot (Adv. Sensors, Fleet Officer, Intelligence Agent)

I'm currently 24 W, 21 L, 1 D (Wow! That's almost 50 games!). It's definitely not the best squad there ever was, but it is so fun to fly! There are lots of options to boost/barrel roll knowing the shuttle can provide a focus token, and Intelligence Agent makes the low PS a little more manageable. I made it. It's my baby - I love it, even if it's ugly. But most importantly, it features 4 copies of my favorite ship in the entire Star Wars galaxy, the TIE interceptor!

I have been taking the Mindlinked Scyks out at a couple of smaller tournaments recently:

TPV w/title, AML, SD, and Manglers X3

Kaa'to w/ AML, VT, and BMST

The best part of Mangler Scyks? Big squishy targets. They go down like this:

Mindlink madness! All sorts of scyk combinations have been hitting the table for me. My fave:

Scwarm OG

Serissu: tractor, link, title

2x TPV: mangler, link, title

2x Binyare: tracers, chips, BMST

Fun as heck, but I'm used to trip aces or two large ships, so this has been a great list to learn some formation flight, and blocking with the z's (throwing VT on one in place of the tracers helps).

This list started out as a benchmark-y training list, but I enjoy it quite a bit:

Rich Man's Swarm:

2x Baron of the Empire: AT, title, adaptability

2x Delta x/7

I'll try a list against this squad and assign a delta to be ryad or give a Baron PTL and a PS bump to simulate other ships. But just as is, it's a nice and solid 4 ship package that suffers only from PS.

Whisper

+ Agent Kallus, Advanced Cloaking Device, Veteran Instincts, Fire Control System

Backdraft

+ Veteran Instincts, Title, Primed Thrusters, Fire Control System

Deathfire

+ Long Range Scanners, Extra Munitions, Homing Missiles, Conner Net

Why do I like it?

I love phantoms, used to have Intel agent to plan the decloak, but have died to TLT and PS10 so swapped to Agent Kallus who has already proved his worth. Still fly Whisper too aggressively though...

I've dropped enough crits out with Backdraft to be satisfying, and with FCS I don't mind staying stressed for a few turns, if he's shooting at the back arc and having none/one shots coming back. Primed thrusters is fantastic, one hard turn and a barrel roll can line up shots nicely or get out the way of tight obstacles. Flies very differently to other Imperial ships but does die fast in a straight up joust...

Dropping conner nets on unsuspecting ships after a seemingly unhelpful move + barrel roll is my favourite thing to do. You can't leave deathfire alive, but I've found Bombers generally take a good few shots to kill, by which point a missile and bomb have gone off and Whisper and Backdraft have got their TLs to put the real hurt on.

Biggest problem is losing Whisper, Backdraft needs a helping hand to strip tokens so he does enough damage. Must fly more cautiously!

I've been flying this lately:

PEW PEW BOOM LASERS!!1!!1!!1!! (100)

Miranda Doni (55) - K-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Homing Missiles (5), Rey (2), Proton Bombs (5), Conner Net (4), Advanced SLAM (2)

Warden Squadron Pilot (45) - K-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Sabine Wren (2), Conner Net (4), Seismic Charges (2), Advanced SLAM (2), Cluster Mines (4)

I am currently 11-2 with the list. And it's so much fun to fly! And yes, the warden is 45 points ;)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)

Attanni Mindlink (1)

Ion Cannon (3)

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Concord Dawn Ace (23)

Attanni Mindlink (1)

Autothrusters (2)

Total: 100

I will make this meta. So far it's doing extremely well against all meta lists, even some of the newer things like hotshot RAC and Fin and Rey snuggle compartment. Has the dice of a swarm, durability of a ace list, and has control. Those ions are fun to use on those low agility big ships...

Usually does well, alphastrikes hard and the bombs are nice once things devolve into a knifefight scrum or an arc dodger gets close
I've always liked bombers and punishers so its nice to get something that works with them.

I'm in a traumatized-by-Dengaroo mood again, so I'm playing my hard counter: twin Falcons.

Not sure of the exact record, but I've played 9-10 games with it and lost, I think, 1 of them.

That's a question.... I have 3-4 (sometimes more) lists ready to go most of the time... Sometimes they change, sometimes they stay the same.

If I was flying tomorrow: Well, if it wasn't terribly important I'd want to get some more practice in with my Rey/Norra list.

(Rey with a fairly well accepted setup, and bb8/ptl Norra)

However, if it was something really important I'd probably default back to my Kanan/Zeb/Jake list.

(That's Kanan set up for endurance with an ion turret, really cheap Zeb shuttle, and Jake set up exactly how you'd expect with a refit)

I forget my exact record with that list, something like 8-1 or 9-1, but to be honest it's been a while since i rolled it out.

Rey

VI, Kanan, Finn, new title, cargo thing, Inertial D.

Coran,

R2D2, VI, FCS

Sables triple Ks, but I haven't actually played in a while because of Blood Bowl.

Ketsu (PTL, EU, K4, Glitter, Title) 53 pts

Asajj (PTL, Gyros, Latts, Glitter, Slicers) 47 pts

It brutalizes defenders and in theory it should burn Manaroo down fast (haven't played against one yet)

3-1 so far. Playing another 3 round tournament tonight. Wish me luck!

My current list is Rey, Poe. I fly him with BB-8 PtL instead of regen, and it is a hoot! Everyone should try hyper-mobile Poe instead of regen Poe.

That does sound like fun! Thanks for the tip, 'gonna give it a go! :)

Been flying this off and on. Very fun control list.

Binarye: BMST

Ventress: PTL, Gyro, Title, Tactican

Zuckess: PTL, BMST, Title, EU, Onyo, Tractor Beam, FCS

Kenkirk: Palp, Isard, EU, PTL

Stele: X7, Juke, E MKII

Dash 58 + a Sabine Warden with 3 Conner Nets is 99 points. I frequently switch the bombs up. All you gotta do is fly your ships as crazy fast as you can, avoid everything and MAKE SURE THEIR EXHAUST STREAMS DONT CROSS.

heading to a small tourney in a few hours :)

Snap with VI, BB8, AT, PT

Norra with PTL, AO, R2D2, Ezra

Jess with R4D6, IA, PT

Shockingly fun list to play, and holds it's own surprisingly well. I've dropped PT on Jess to give Snap the Black One title lately, to decent effect. Jess is oddly tanky, and Snap is hilariously mobile. Generally fly Jess as a wingman to Norra, while Snap does Snap things. Ezra does god-tier work with Norra, too.

Been flying variations of this list since the Fang released. Been tunung it ever since and this is the one i settled on just before worlds started.

Five A-Wings with trick shot, Crackshot, and Autothrusters!

Very fun!

I kind of like Mindlink currently, because PTL is far to limiting by comparison. And 6 points more expensive in those lists and not sustainable with a lot of dials.
