Ibtisam for new store league

By LogantheBard, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi community!

Our FLGS is starting a new league in a couple of weeks. We have to choose one unique pilot, and that is the ONLY unique pilot we get to play for the whole league. I've always loved B-Wings, and Ibtisam looks like a fun "build around me" pilot.

Help me brainstorm! How would you build your 100 point list containing Ibtisam and only genetic pilots? (No upgrade restrictions).

Ibtisam? Yikes. Ok, here goes:

Ibtisam (28)
Wired (1)
Collision Detector (0)
Hera Syndulla (1)
B-Wing/E2 (1)

Lothal Rebel (35)
Fire-Control System (2)
Weapons Engineer (3)
Finn (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)

Total: 100

A take on double VCX+Y. Super hard hitting Lothal with FCS/Weapons Engineer gets two TLs, and Finn adds a dice. So you dont have to just go for the single target lock, Lothal will have two ships to bust up, and there are many two ship lists so thats all you need. Y does its thing. Ibtisam gets stressed, stays stressed. Can reroll all eyeballs and a blank on both defense and offense. Use Debris as a shield and fly through it all you want.

I have never flown Ibitsam, but after reading the Rogue Squadron comics on Marvel Unlimited I'd like to giver her a whirl. I see you went with wired, where I get the point, the only stress mechanic is others and reds. Why not PTL, or even a drastic Rage? The Rage/Inspiring Recruit combo is valid (although pricey) here.

What about this:

Ibtisam (28)

Rage (1)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

Inspiriing Recruit (1)

Collision Detector (0)

That's the same 31 point Ibtisam, but with more dice mods as opposed to maneuverability. With the focus/re-rolls there a cannon would be nice but HLC brings to almost 40. The mangler is an option, but with a 3 dice primary not sure if it is better. Since the crew mod is a mod and not title (dumb) I think the torps aren't the best option. So I think a 31 point re-roller isn't awful. I'll prob still fly Imperials, but I wouldn't be opposed to this 31 pointer.

PTL+ EU. There's your rerolls and maneuverability. FCS for even more rerolls and action economy or Adv sensors for more shenanagins.

Just as a note, you could look at adding Finn on him. His ability isn't as powerful as Rey's, but does work with Finn on both sides of the dice. FCS would probably be useful to keep the offense up. Does get 4-5 dice per shot, so he can be a threat, and 2-3 dice on defense isn't bad either. Only problem is he needs to be stressed, which means his actions are limited.

Something to consider at least.

Never played her alongside generics, but this is my favourite build for her:

Elusiveness

Sensor Jammer

E2

C-3PO

Clocks in at 38 points though, which is the bad thing. On the plus side, watch and laugh as she tanks crazy amounts of damage.
