so what about that u-wing?

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

What about Rey, finn, fcs for an offensive build, fickle? Doesn't care bout bumps and can dish out some dam. Or is it to many points. I kind of feel it's a bit much. Jyn seems very good too.

I took this to Seattle Regionals and went 4-2, ending up in 20th place of 110. My two losses were to a TIE Bomber alpha-strike list, and to the Galaxy Note 7 player who ended up in Top 4. I think I could have placed in top 16 if I'd had some more practice.

Is this better than 3 wardens, though? Could be.

meh

Finn is pretty jank outside of pilot rey and even then i feel pilot rey is overcosted

Considering that I lost to 3 Wardens, it's hard to say. I think it comes down to match-ups and how smart the opponent is in targeting priority. The U-Wing has a really bad endgame 1v1 against a lot of popular ships, but if the opponent is leaving the U-Wing for last that means Sabine is staying alive to do her job.

I played a Rey/U-wing player in the scrambles who had a great defensive build with Jyn (may have been recon spec!)& Jan & adv. Sensors to ensure he got it every round. I like the idea of defensive upgrades and a bomb on U-wing. Despite it's title card U-turn might suggest it's very impractical, I would get the lightning reflexs before I'd drop agility and wait a turn for my K-turn!

The trick with the flip-around is that you either run far away before doing it, or you flip the title on a turn when you don't expect to get attack anyway because you're blocking or there are other targets or whatever. You can also flip the title to try to bait someone into attacking the U-Wing when they should really be finishing off one of your more threatening ships.

I've also messed with people by flipping the title, then NOT doing the 180 next round.

I would recommend removing Bombardier to upgrade IA to the hilarious Cassian Andor. Bombardier is a really cool ability, but you can live without it when you are used to dropping mines.

I considered doing this, but I didn't have any experience using Cassian and not enough time to practice using him. I was worried that adding the complexity of figuring out what to guess with Cassian would distract me too much from my normal way of choosing moves. I do want to try a list like this with Cassian, though, and see how it works.
