Keeping Sabine alive to late game

By thestggrwng, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I have played against a brutal Sabine attack shuttle that token stacks and just out toughs you one on one.

Sabine (21)

-juke (2)

-TLT (6)

-Lando Calrissian (3)

- Experimental Interface (3)

It assigns a green, does a boost or barrel roll, EI's off of that with lando, takes the green maneuver losing the stress and then takes a focus or evade. You know what you need based on what lando already gave you. If this is your last piece, it can take most anything out there. but early game It just gets dropped too fast. So I built this to keep it alive

Lothal rebel (35)

-FCS (2)

-Finn (5)

-Zeb (1)

-Ghost title (0)

-Autoblaster (2)

Airen Cracken (19)

-Crack shot.

Start with the attack shuttle docked First round of shooting, Airen should be able to let the Lothal take a second action (target Lock) for it's first attack. After that just keep taking fully modded shots with FCS and focus against that target.

Played three games with it last night and with the first two, I never even had to deploy Sabine, as it just steam rolled over lists. Lost the last game because I didn't fully counter kylo crew dropping 2 blinded pilots on me. But First time running a full Ghost. I think this list has potential.

Looks fun and slippery but Sabine is only PS5. How do you handle the late game against someone like Soontir who can basically ignore TLT?

It's a super defensive Soontir vs. a super defensive Sabine and Sabine has the higher damage potential with juke and more of a token stack. I'm not saying it's an auto win, but hopefully your Ghost took care of Soontir with a block and used Zeb to main gun shoot him to oblivion.

It's not too hard to block Soontir. You know he is taking a green maneuver. It is doable. Dengar is tough but as long as I am shooting, I should be able to hit hard. That Sabine can solo Manaroo pretty easily. This list isn't an auto win but I think it has the tools to deal with what is out there.
