Do ya think I'm XUXY ? - feedback please

By BlodVargarna, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok going to try this out tonight. Thoughts?

XUXY (100)

Heff Tobber (31) - U-Wing

Fire Control System (2), "Zeb" Orrelios (1), Cassian Andor (2), Pivot Wing (0), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (25) - Y-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), R2 Astromech (1), BTL-A4 Y-wing (0)

Rookie Pilot (22) - X-Wing

R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Rookie Pilot (22) - X-Wing

R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

You could try trading the anti-pursuit lasers for a tactical jammer, and then you could swap the y-wing's astromech for r3-a2.

I thought thisd somehow be a general huc list

"Would you hux me? Id hux me"

Drop BTL-A4 Y-wing (0) if you don't using the stress bot, the Y wing at least can move more freely and get TLT shots all the time.

I hate to keep bringing my own list up in these sort of threads, but I think 9/10 times I'd rather go with 48 point Corran over 2 rookies. Zeb on Heff is pretty good so keep that, but Biggs makes Zeb a lot better IMO. I'm not convinced by Cassian crew on Heff, just because I don't think Heff needs any more help blocking ships since he's already pretty darn good at it. I'd also drop FCS on Heff, because his ability alone should provide enough modifications.

My list:

Corran: PTL, FCS, R2-D2, Engine (48)

Biggs: R4-D6, Integrated (26)

Heff: Pivot Wing, Zeb, Chopper, Tactical Jammer (or enhanced scopes) (26)

It's a very similar list to yours, except Corran is better than 2 rookies in the endgame and my Heff is a bit cheaper. Biggs is also really good with the U-Wing IMO since you can keep the title on the k-turn side instead of the AGI side. That said, Biggs is mostly there to keep Corran safe from BMST, Kylo (when he comes out), and Wampa. I like your list though, so don't feel obliged to change it if it's working for you.

I appreciate the thoughts on adding Corran, but this list is more meant for flavor, so I'd like to keep it to XYU wings.

I agree on dropping BTL title for Y wing. I like the idea of stress hogging him, but I'm worried a bit about shedding stress. Should I be?

Nope! A stresshog needs no actions! Tlt allows you to check dice like no tomorrow. R3 is the entire point of the ship, as you deny actions to someone who wants them, while you yourself don't care.

Also, I disalpt that this list isn't Zuckssy as well as XUXY. Though I guess one can only do so much.

Personally, I'm going to try:

Rookie - R2-A3 - Integrated

Gold - Ion Cannon and R2

Gold - Ion Cannon and R2

Blue U - FCS, Title, Hotshot Co Pilot.

100 points

Idea being that the U Wing fires first, straps tokens, X wing stresses if needed and then the Gold pile on the Ion tokens.

From recent experience, Defenders don't make up their points when they areven Ionised and stressed.

If it is just XUY for r1 flavor, it depends on how willing you are to use luke

Ie

Luke/red 5 (predator r2d2 integrated) (35)

cassian (expert handling, fcs, rey, jan, tactical jammers) [36]

grey squad stresshog [28]
