Ok guys. I took a break.

What's the new goodness hotness on the block?

Swarm Leader 3 Defenders? -> does this actually have an efficient time vs things like Paratanni?

Kylo Ren crew? On what? -> on what? how do you get your milage one of this?

Paratanni? -> how do you go against this?

The Tie SF? In what forms? -> what are your competitive tie SF builds?

What are the rebel goodies? -> ergo, things I wanna kill. Esp if they have large ships. Is the rebel meta basically Ghost, Kwing, Biggs? How are ARCs doing at tip top tier 1 competitiion?

Edited: New inquiries: What do you like flying besides scum lists?

What are your favorite imperial lists, including and excluding heavy Tie D lists.

Ma-name iz ace-wing... and i stink!

...

Played at Yavin this weekend, what a tournament! I saw a lot of ....

Parattani

Fangaroo

Bossk/Boba

Chiraneau, either HSCP/gunner/Kylo or HSCP/gunner/Vader

Commonwealth defenders (but mucchh less than I was expecting)

Kanan/Biggs

Miranda tlt/homing & Miranda bomber edition

A little dengaroo

A little dash of Dash

... Not a single tie swarm did my sad eyes see. Not a single 5-a-wing list.

BUT... the big winner of the day was the rebel list that made it to the final - it was an absolute beast. I think it wen something like this:

Hera Syndulla (59) VCX-100 (40), Ghost (0), Accuracy Corrector (3), Twin Laser Turret (6), Navigator (3), C-3PO (3), Engine Upgrade (4)

Ahsoka Tano (21) Sabine's TIE Fighter (17), Veteran Instincts (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Black Market Slicer Tools (1), Intelligence Agent (1)

“Zeb” Orrelios (18) Attack Shuttle (18), Phantom (0)

... it was brutal. Ahsoka reading dials, redirecting hera into either block or range three. If blocked, spend focus to give Hera a boost, for range 1 5 dice doom. If range 3 and in arc, evade so the ghost is tanky.

ace-wing is proud to present the whole wonderful world of The STAR WARS Universe!!!

Behold the entire range of models we offer...Ta-Dah!!!

(Hurry now because some of these are already on their way out too!)

You forgot deci, shadowcaster, yt1300, yt2400, Upsilon, t-65, captured tie, firespray, iggy and yv-666...

So ... yeah, bigggg improvement over every other meta I've known in ship diversity. But don't let that get in the way of a good salt session!

Not in the videos I tried to watch in the last month... except for the cool gang at Sling Paint Gaming.

Fascinating. I haven't really seen Heragator played competitively although it was one of the early builds that was spotted when Ghost was spoiled. Ahsoka is really the sleeper hit of Wave 10 IMHO and I think we will see more builds exploiting her action shenanigans.

What, Yavin, the largest-attendance event in X-wing? That's an awful lot of porridge!

You're confirming what I (WE) already know: The Game Is Only As Good As The Players!

For the tie fighter, may be for the standard format but in epic game they do their job perfectly ! (same for the x-wing)

Wanna play STAR WARS like it is in the films then you play X-WING EPIC or CINEMATIC.

I watched this build in action it was a beast. That range3 ghost build was really hard to deal with and AC+TLT while looking humble was such a torrent of shots that almost always pushed some damage.

If not stupid mistake that would win Yavin for sure.

Hey Vitalis, great day eh? What did you play? (I was running VI/Hull/AT Carnor, Juke Glaive, Juke Ryad. Just missed the cut.)

Heh, i didnt have the pleasure to be there in person, just watched the stream with this build (2 matches ) and it already looked strong. Well it made it to finals so it had to be strong

Would you post a link to that, so I get the right one?
