This Will Never Be Competetive

By Drakeheart, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I've realized that with Ahsoka with VI & Captured TIE means that the amount pilots able to shoot her shrinks to a number you can count on one hand (Whisper, Poe, Vader, Soontir).

So in the interest of creating a list far too gimmicky to survive past school yard humor, I slapped this together:

TIE Fighter: · Ahsoka Tano (17)

Veteran Instincts (1)

· Captured TIE (1)

· Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

· Rey (2)

Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

ARC-170: · Braylen Stramm (25)

· R3-A2 (2)

Gunner (5)

A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (19)

Outmaneuver (3)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Autothrusters (2)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Trick Shot (0)

A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (19)

Outmaneuver (3)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Autothrusters (2)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Trick Shot (0)

-- TOTAL ------- 99p. --

Since Slicer Tools is an action, not an attack, Ahsoka won't lose the benefit of Captured TIE, and she can use own ability to allow use of it in the event she Evaded or Focus for her action, using the banked tokens on Rey as fuel.

Braylen just needs to pour on the pressure for Ahsoka, and be a big fat target.

I originally had Poe or Norra in place of the two A-Wings, but after a moments thought realized that more targets were needed to spread out the heat.

The A-Wing pair leave the enemy with a choice. Go for the fat meaty target that Braylen poses, and let the A-Wings get into position to proc Outmaneuver, or zip for the A-Wings first and let Stramm pour on the heat as Ahsoka wittles away your health.

Very gimmicky, but I thought it would an interesting thought to share. May run a few mock trials for it, see if there is anything to it.

Your list of Ahsoka killers is a little short. You left out over half the natural PS9's in the game. Never mind the pilots PS7 and PS8 who can take VI.

I wouldn't scratch this list as not competitive. It isn't easy, but it can win. It's too bad you don't have another point to spare, then you could run Snap/Juke A-wings.

Side note: you left out the ARC's title.

Well, there are plenty of pilots who would be capable of shooting Ahsoka, if kitted properly, but how many of them are you likely to see? Omega is capable of using VI, but you're better off stapling Juke to him. I only mentioned the ones off the top of my head that are typically used in a competetive setting. Any pilot with a PS of 7 or more could tag Ahsoka if they had VI, but only a few pilots might actually make good use of it.

I will admit I missed Dengar and Fenn as credible threats, but again, it was off the top of my head.

If I wanted to run the Snap/Jukes I could drop Braylen for just the usual Goldie Stresshog, which would be several points cheaper, but also suffer several points less in effectiveness (no rear-firing arc, no stress shed, victim to Predator...)

Win? Cetainly. Tough? Definitely. Fun? I sure as well hope so. But I wouldn't want to be the guy bringing this list into a tournament. A good, competetive list is consistent. Relied on to preform in a specific manner. I don't think this list has the kind of reliability needed to find itself in a tournament.

But it sure as hell might be fun to play.
