I've got a couple Imperial fleet builds that I want to test against against common builds. But the reason I'm playing versus myself is that I don't get human opponents very often, and the games I do get are against people running "fun" builds (which is fine, and I don't want to ask them to change).

What are a couple Rebel and Imperial lists at the 400 level that would give me a good indicator of how viable my potential tournament lists are?

I've also done this before to try out a tournament list - i added 50pts to the side i was using the list against. It ensured that regardless of any unconscious bias that may filter in, my tournament list would almost certainly be put through its paces.

That's a good idea. I've not played enough games to know a good/fair opponent list, unfortunately

Maybe try some of the classic nasties against your list? Yavaris with a bucket load of bombers, a tooled up Demolisher, maybe a swarm of some kind.

These are just off the cuff suggestions and not at all exhaustive but can be particularly trying. Involving as much wave 5 stuff as you can will make your fleet test that bit more "real" as well.

Ever try vassal?

I still haven't figured out how to use vassel

Yeah, I'm vassal handicapped. Just asking the community what the standard meta builds are that a good fleet needs to be able to handle. It's easy for me to figure these out for XWing, I'm just a little lost as to armada's meta. Links to a list are great, no need to type a bunch out

Not really sure there is a meta yet the new wave has only been out for a few weeks and people are still testing the new stuff

The Dark Side clouds everything...uncertain the meta is.

Oh there is a meta it just depends on where you are from. I really find it interesting that with this game you will find completely different list being talked about from different podcasts from one side of the earth to another.
