So I have had it with Rebels. Nothing against them, I am just not good with them. Truth be told it is more me than it is them. I really like making lists, but I don't make good ones, and the last few were Rebels.

So as every says, get a bunch of reps in. I need to pick that one list and work on it. So, what to fly?

I want to fly something that is resilient, can take a bunch of hits, dishes out some, and has a little bit of accident forgiveness. I tried to calculate what ships were best for y and my desired play style ranking things like green dice, damage mitigation abilities, shields, and hull; but that math trended towards Interceptors and TIE fighters, not exactly lighting it up currently.

Thanks to @Stay On The Leader and the awesome work he did with the the post on this thread. Now there is a definitive list of what is good ATM in the meta. That leads to three questions:

1 - which list has the best damage to resiliency (my guess is the defenders)

2 - What about Brobots? Not on the list currently, is it because the new hotness has it out of vogue?

3 - Is there any way to make Soonitr viable? Maybe with a HotShot-Gunner-Vader RAC?

Thanks for always giving me good advice to read.

Soontir is always viable if flown correctly....I am always careful if I see him on the opposite side

A guy I play regularly flies Soontir, Valen and Quickdraw and he is **** hard to beat. Multiple attacks, piles of tokens.. its hell.

As for rebels, some of the new stuff smokes previous stuff in my opinion.. I have been doing quite well with Rey, with Finn and Recon specialist. paired with Ello asty...

Not really. If you are going to a tournament and expect to see K-Wing bombers or RAC with Vader than Soontir will not do well. He is currently out of the meta because he can't arc dodge bombs when they land in his grill and Loaded out K's with Sabine are very popular right now.

Brobots can still be viable if flown correctly but they also can struggle with bombs. I believe they are not played as much anymore because people are sick of playing them not because they are not good. They are also a high variance list because of their reliance on green dice. People are tired of those little green assholes screwing them at the worst possible moment.

He's a finesse pilot...he is not your junkyard dog like K's

bombs and rac along with others are for a player who also relies upon denial, I'm going to mine this to force "x" or "y"

certain pilots or other types of ships just rely upon instinct and tactics and he is one of those

K's are VERY much about finesse because it takes considerable skill to properly judge those bombing runs. Soontir struggles right now because there is a lot of auto damage, that bypasses defense dice and tokens, in the meta ATM.

This would be awesome - if I haven't sworn off rebels
