Rey Tarn Y?

By LagJanson, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Thinking of something a bit different for me. I like flying lots of fighters but I find Rey intriguing due to her ability. I've also 'discovered' Tarn finally and he's been a great thorn to add to a list.

My thought on flying this is lead with the Gold, aggressively, and Rey. Use a target lock from Tarn to give the gold re-rolls and to trail behind to provide cover from arc dodging.

Not looking for a meta breaker, but looking for marginally competitive and fun to fly win or lose.

Experimenting (100)

Rey (54) - YT-1300

Trick Shot (0), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (1)

Tarn Mison (26) - X-Wing

M9-G8 (3), Integrated Astromech (0)

Gold Squadron Pilot (20) - Y-Wing

Autoblaster Turret (2), BTL-A4 Y-wing (0)

Rey is too obvious a first target here, I feel - Tarn with M9-G8 discourages shooting at him, and the Y-Wing can be cheerfully ignored by most things since it's threat range is so small and limited. Once Rey bites it (and she will), the list lacks the capability to close out a game.

If you want to fly Rey, I believe she needs comparable threats included in the list with her to confuse target priority, which will often translate to one other ship rather than two or more.

I agree with that analysis. I hate two ship builds... :(

I think Adaptabilty would be better EPT for Rey.

Agreed. One day I shall have adaptability, as I have so many uses for that dang card. Proxied it so much...
