First 59 Point Tournament! Need Help!

By LifeGain, in X-Wing Squad Lists

A local game store has a small tournament coming up that is a 59-point limit. However, the catch is that you must have at least two different ships from two different factions and card restrictions are lifted. I was trying to come up with a list that had a Defender and something from Rebels. My Rebel collection consists of T-70’s, a T-65, and a K-Wing. A couple of my ideas are listed below. The only thing that worries me is an Omega Leader so if one of these lists combats that ship or any other ace better than the other just let me know. Any advice is welcome!

LIST 1
Glaive Squadron Pilot (Defender): 34
-TIE x/7 -2
-Juke 2

Blue Squadron Novice (T-70): 24
-R2 Astromech 1
-Integrated Astromech 0

LIST 2
Warden Squadron Pilot (K-Wing): 23
-TLT 6

Onyx Squadron Pilot (Defender): 32
-TIE/x7 -2

LIST 3
Blue Squadron Novice (T-70): 24
-R2 Astromech 1
-Integrated Astromech
-Proton Torpedoes 4

Onyx Squadron Pilot (Defender): 32
-TIE/x7 -2

When you say card restrictions are lifted, does that mean that any ship can equip any upgrade card? If so, I would recommend taking any high pilot skill ship with an advanced cloaking device. For example:

The Inquisitor (33)

Push the Limit

Tie/v1

Advanced Cloaking device

+

Gold Squadron Pilot (26)

Twin Laser Turret

R3-A2

BTL-A4 Y-wing title

or

Fenn Rau (36)

Push the Limit

Concord Dawn Protector

Advanced Cloaking Device

+

Gemmer Sojan (23)

Push the Limit

A-wing Test Pilot

Cardaan Refit

Another Option would be to take a low agility ship with Lightweight frame:

Braylen Stramm (34)

R3-A2

Gunner

Alliance Overhaul

Lightweight Frame

+

Academy Pilot x2 (24)

or

Resistance Sympathizer (45)

Recon Specialist

Jan Ors

Lightweight frame

+

Wampa (14)

If you cant just equip any upgrade card whenever you want I would take something more along these lines:

Chewbacca (47)

Rage

Inspiring Recruit

Kanan Jarrus

+

Academy Pilot (12)

or

Miranda Doni (47)

Twin Laser Turret

Extra Munitions

Proximity Mines

Thermal Detonators (or another set of prox mines)

Sabine Wren

Advanced Slam

+

Academy Pilot (12)

or

Any Imperial Ace (I like the Inquisitor) with support

The Inquisitor (31)

Push the Limit

Tie/v1

Autothrusters

+

Hobbie Klivian (27)

Targeting Astromech

Integrated Astromech

or

Countess Ryad (36)

Tie/x7

Lone Wolf

Twin Ion Engine

+

Bandit Squadron Pilot x2 (24)

That's all I've got for now, I hope this helps

These are some awesome ideas! I will have to double check on the specifics on the lifting of restrictions since I just found out tonight about it haha.

Capt. Oicunn with Zuckuss and Dengar on board. . .

An ARC with R2D2 and Vader...

If that's somewhere in Colorado its most likely that faction restrictions are removed, IE you could mindlink a rebel ship and an x7 defender....

Indeed you are correct on both accounts! The example the organizer gave was Chewbacca with Darth Vader and Fearlessness.

Moff Jerjerald (sp.?) finally becomes worthwhile since he can be paired with zero point crew!

Palob and Wes Janson with Attani mindlink.

Only one side gets tokens.
