Super Miranda and Kanan

By Lysus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The thought occurred to me that Kanan would make a pretty good wingman for a fully loaded Miranda, having a good offensive output and helping keep her alive. I'm yet to fully decide what to put in Kanan's crew slots. Rec Spec is more reliable, but only leaves one point for another crew, whereas Jyn is a little riskier but leaves me room to put Rey or Jan in the second slot instead of Chopper.


In addition to feedback on the list itself, if you have tips on flying it I'd appreciate it.


Miranda Doni (29)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Extra Munitions (2)

Homing Missiles (5)

Sabine Wren (2)

Conner Net (4)

Ion Bombs (2)

Advanced SLAM (2)


Kanan Jarrus (38)

Fire-Control System (2)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Ion Projector (2)


Total: 96



Jyn, Rey, drop Ion Projector and change Fire Control System to Accuracy Corrector.

Accuracy Corrector just isn't great on the VCX because it doesn't do much for the primary weapon, which is what gets used most of the time.

I would drop IonProjector and add Finn into Ghost.

Also Reacon specialist is great on Kanan, add that too, if need, drop Ion Bombs.

That should be 100pts and is better in my opinion.

Finn doesn't do much without something to provide rerolls. Absent Lone Wolf or Rey, he's just not worth using.

You have FCS dont you? If you don't plan to use FCS on your attacks, so drop it on Ghost and get something more useful, else it works on Finn.

I kinda disagree with this. You have a very small chance of getting arc on someone 2 shots in a row, especially without Hera on board. In the rare occasion you do get arc on someone you have just fcs'd Finn is still not a guaranteed hit. Certainly not worth the high points cost imo.

Running Kanan without a phantom is rare as Kanan relies on his actions and not having a phantom limits your manoeuvres in gaining a shot, id consider changing fcs for advanced sensors and bring Rey to the party. This way if necessary you can perform that beautiful K turn, and still have a target lock and focus. Hell i'd even add Jyn to the party if you have points spare, you can token up before or after you move, depending on which would give you the most or if your gonna bump.

Think that brings your total to 99.... I may have to give it a try aswell :-D

I changed the build to run Rec Spec, Rey, Autoblaster Turret, Fire Control System, and Tactical Jammer. It works pretty well, but I've been trying out a variant on the Dash/Miranda list that recently won the Georgia regionals now.
