Wave 10 - What did you fly first?

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

As juicy as the Upsilon is, there was no way that Wave X could hit the street without me doing something I've been wanting to do for ages: a 100-point squad using the full cast of Star Wars: Rebels!

Hera Syndulla (40)
Fire-Control System (2)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
"Chopper" (0)
Ezra Bridger (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Ghost (0)

Sabine Wren (21)
Push the Limit (3)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Kanan Jarrus (3)
Phantom (0)

Captain Rex (14)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Total: 100

I've been wanting to get at least the original six cast members into a list since the Ghost was announced, but it was never doable. The best I could do was run five of them with a Prototype Pilot. Now, not only can I fly the full original cast, but I can even squeeze Rex in there to reflect the Season 2-3 team.

This is joy, right here.

What sort of lists did everyone else jump to?

Barrel rolling Kylo (EH, PA, FCS, IR).

Nothing like sidestepping to victory!

STOP! Hammer time!

Captain Rex is what I flew last night (my FLGS had an unboxing event and streamed game I participated in), but the Upsilon is where my heart truly lies. :)

Suppressive Fire is a handy condition, I'm a big fan of it after that game. :-)

Kylo Ren, Backdraft and OL, I'm too used to flying Sloopy Rey and was pretty inept with a clunker shuttle. I also figured out way to late how to play my hand. I lost lost & lost with the new ships. Fun Times!

Striker...all day.

I've flown the striker first, and am also looking forward to flying the cast from Rebels, have made a few builds and am trying to narrow it down to what version I want to try

I too flew the striker first (love me some Countdown!), but I am also very much looking forward to playing with the new shuttle this weekend.

Wave 10.1, striker. Yet to play imps w/o one lol.

Wave 10.2, tugboat. PS1 tug w/ tractor array, intel, and pattern analyzer backed up by 2 PS2 scyks w/ HLCs and a PTL/Title/Autos Fenn Rau. Its hilarious how much people focus on Fenn when hes NOT the threat...lol...-1 agi, hit a rock so no action, no range bonus against TWO HLCS with a focus...yeah fenn isnt the threat rofl

10.1 u-wing, in squadron y.u.b. Yub

10.2 haven't gotten any or a chance to fly them yet

Kanan, Biggs, Rex. I like Rex, so nice for 14pts. I tossed Tactician on him, but think Recon Spec might be better just because he will take heavy fire. Rey crew is a really nice option for him so he can evade for action, and take a focus. Also, since he needs to fire every round, he can kturn and still have focus for defense thanks to Rey. But my Kanan had Rey, so Rex got Tactician.

I got me 2 of the little meatballs and tried this out:

Jakku Gunrunner (26) Quadjumper (15), Outlaw Tech (2), Proximity Mines (3), Pattern Analyzer (2), Scavenger Crane (2), Spacetug Tractor Array (2)

Jakku Gunrunner (27) Quadjumper (15), Outlaw Tech (2), Cluster Mines (4), Pattern Analyzer (2), Scavenger Crane (2), Spacetug Tractor Array (2)

Binayre Pirate (12) x 2 Zealous Recruit (23)

Protectorate Starfighter (20), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

at 100 pts. Pattern analyzer + bombs is really trolly. My opponent got behind me then I just backed both up and dropped 2/3rds a cluuster and a prox mine on Vessery, erased him and got both bombs back. Also Spacetug tractor array makes those things annoying little assholes if they get behind you and they have something else blocking in front, like say some Zs.

I'm trying the Upsilon tommorow. Totally unsure how to use this thing. Going to be running kylo with hux and f/o miniswarm with epsilon leader to unstress that Kylo (he probably won't chill anyway).

Ran Unkar Plutt twice. I think I put half a dozen ships on asteroids over the course of the game. The Tugboat is amazing, especially with Ketsu crew. I got a defender down to zero agility.

The only thing I bought: Rebel TIE.

Had a game last night, Reb v Reb and there were 5 - count 'em, 5 - TIEs on the board.

I haven't put it on the table yet, but I really want to try an Upsilon with TIE Bombers. I think you can do some cool things with them if they are all at the same Pilot Skill. I've come up with variations of the squad at 2, 4, and 6 . I think that the PS4 version might be favorite.

I have been flying the Tie striker for the past few weeks. As far as the rest of Wave 10, I might just put Wampa in the Rebel Tie for fun, since I have been running him with Kenkirk and Countdown. If I don't run that list, Kylo might be chugging along in a Tie Shuttle with OL, Vader, and a Tempest Squadie.

U wings, I have been running 1 and 2 U wing lists like XUXY and PUU

That's awesome. Operations Specialist looks like it gets a work out in that squad.

It might be cool to give Ahsoka Swarm Leader if you could find a spare point somewhere. A TIE Fighter throwing 5 dice at range one would be awesome.

I'm also one copy of Snap Shot short of being able to put this list together and I don't really want another HoTR or Upsilon.

Striker, but after that Upsilon. I think conditions are overrated, but once the dust settles they'll still be good.

If you are short a snap shot, what about juke on Sabine instead ..

I'm interested in seeing Rex laying down suppressive fire next to Biggs, but I am mainly an imperial player, so the shuttle will be my main focus.

so i just flew the UPS and i have a build that is hilariously nimble.

Kylo w/ Daredevil, EU, Adv Sensors, Rebel Captive, Tactician, and Hypertech (deploy last, all i care there).
Dude seriously blasts across the board and turns like crazy. Mostly unmodded attack dice sadly but with 4/5 attack dice and stress application majority of the time, he still was a major thorn.

no inspiring!? how does one chain devil!?
