Stele Open 2017 list options

By Karl45, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi,

This will be my first time competing at this level and as such I'm struggling to put that finial list together. I've won with variations of all three below.

Here are my options: (open to any ideas)

Idea 1:

Miranda Doni (42) - K-Wing
Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Homing Missiles (5), Long-Range Scanners (0)

Wedge Antilles (32) - X-Wing
Swarm Tactics (2), R2 Astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Biggs Darklighter (26) - X-Wing
R4-D6 (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

-------------------

Idea 2:

Poe Dameron (37) - T-70 X-Wing
Veteran Instincts (1), R5-P9 (3), Autothrusters (2)

Ello Asty (37) - T-70 X-Wing
Veteran Instincts (1), R2-D2 (4), Autothrusters (2)

Jess Pava (26) - T-70 X-Wing
R4-D6 (1), Integrated Astromech (0) or a Stresshog Y Wing R3-A2

------------------

Or a list that I win with a lot:

4 T-70 Blue Squadron novices with IA.

Bump.

Fly a list you know and have practice with. :)

Else i say List1.

I really want to see #2 go!

I am a huge fan of list one, and think you might really appreciate the raw alpha. The problem is if you aren't very careful and don't play very well you will get burned quick. So it all depends on how many ships you can kill on the first pass.

Probably List 1 but I am not convinced by Wedge, for 32 points I think you could get better wingmen. Personally I would go with Braylen and a Stressbot. /x7s are still heavy hitters and Stress (potentially double-stress) will give you a strong counter to them as well as messing with Attanni-based lists. Plus PTL is still a big part of many Ace builds.

32 Braylen (25), Gunner (5), R3-A2 (2), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Thanks. I'm going to try Braylen over the next two weeks.

In my test games with Wedge, it was mixed. If the nice were kind, it hit hard and games were effectively over after two rounds of shooting. When issues arose, I felt the list was squishy.

Three T-70s can be good, but you need to practice like heck and it can feel like every game is an uphill battle. Of your three, number three has a lot of raw damage potential, and number one is probably the best all rounder, but will be harder to fly well.
