Stop lying. Sometimes its 2 right banks.

Wedge with Predator is the new Hotness.

You can actually reroll one die and your opponent gets one green less!

Apart from this he's PS 9, which means he will move later and shoot earlier than most others.

You crack me up.

So just wondering how much was c3po really used in that ghost build, or could he have got more use out of a different crew. Maybe recon specialist?

Disclaimer: I in no way question his build or decisions.

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.

I personally want to fly her with 2 kwings. Put sabine on her and captured TIE to keep your sabine carrier from being shot (for the most part)

Played at Yavin this weekend, what a tournament!

Wasn't it just! A great couple of days of X-Wing, with a fantastic group of players from all around Europe. I did spot a 5 A-Wing swarm, run by one of my my day 2 Hangar Bay opponents, 5 really well painted Green Squadrons.

Really diverse number of builds and ships on display, more so than last year I think.

Super curious about this. How many people were running this and what were the upgrades? Is there a place to look up info on lists people brought? It doesn't seem that XWing Lists Juggler has System Opens.

If it's anything like the ones that get run around here it's party bus (Dengar, 4-LOM, Zuckuss) Bossk with a mangler cannon and sometimes a homing missile and Boba with fearlessness, cluster missiles, K4, and chimps. Have also seen quite a bit of the same Boba paired with VI Ketsu so that she can double tractor something before he alpha strikes it

That might have been me! I ran 5 snapcracks in hanger bay - all in different grey & green patterns.

Sorry guys, I wasn't poking my noses into most people's builds, just checking out ships and pilots. It could have been Kath a few times too I suppose... But yeah, Ketsu/Bossk was doing the rounds a bit too.

That sounds like the ones alright - Stele Open challenge coin?

Ok guys. I took a break.

What's the new goodness hotness on the block?

Swarm Leader 3 Defenders?

Kylo Ren crew? On what?

Paratanni? -> Is this thing like MJ jousting value overpowered?

The Tie SF? In what forms?

What are the rebel goodies? -> ergo, things I wanna kill. ESp if they have large ships.

Guys, I'm sorry, but you've really derailed my thread and also not given me much useful information whatsoever as a starting point for helping to build lists.

I haven't gotten a single beautiful response as to cool things you can do with a Tie SF.

@Joe Boss Red Seven in this case, I'd like to request a bit of space for me to collect the information I need to make the wacky lists that play fun ships that aren't just ace-wing-ey-meta, and derailing the thread is making it harder for me to do this and play the not-as-good ships I wanted to play.

Yep! That's me! Were you the guy who whooped me with fengaroo?

Um, yeah, I guess that would be me! If it's any consolation, Fenn went on to roflstomp a fortress in the last match. Did you play in the second Hangar Bay?

Great to finally meet you Gecko! Always nice to put a face to the handle. I played one game of the next pod before we had to leave - we were waiting around for my mate, Voitek, and he got knocked out at 8th place. Well done on breaking that fortress - that guy's earlier round was the ugliest game of X-wing I've ever seen. Justice!

They are best as escort ships because they can fire front & back and turn much faster than their large leaders.

Thanks for the shoutout of Sling Paint goodness! -berto

I've been having a lot of success with the following pair of /SFs.

Whatever the case, it does good work. I've been able to kill a Defender before it gets to shoot most games I've played, and the combo of an alpha strike and high PS can really mess with the way people approach the list. It's currently at 99 points, but it might benefit from a larger initiative bid now that the 100 point Parattanni isn't the dominant list in the meta.I've been pairing them up with one of Duchess (VI, LWF, AA), Omega Leader (Juke, Comm Relay, as if there's another way to run her), or Pure Sabbacc (VI, LWF, AA, and Primed Thrusters on Backdraft as well). Omega Leader is probably the most consistent of these three, but Duchess is incredibly slippery and Pure Sabbacc can really help to draw fire away from the SFs in the early game.

I've also been surprised by how good Swarm Leader Jess Pava is, when paired with Biggs and either a couple of Snap/Juke GSP A-Wings or the Zeb/Rex/Sabine with Juke trio of Rebel TIEs. It can put out quite a bit of firepower, and Sabine is pretty nimble and punches just hard enough to be a worry.

I'm not as in the know as most of the experts, and I'll keep it macro. I see some great and solid Scum squads as they have the cats meows of ships, crew and that d*** Attani. Rebels are seeing a real bump up the ladder with squads that can even fly Biggs-less, or possibly without regen or Sabine (really?? crazzzzzy....no, Sabine is still almost a requirement as she's the new Palp). And, although the Imps have a few solid/fun ships, they've basically been neutered at the top and are mediocre everywhere else.

So:

Fly Scum to win!!!

Fly Rebels to hit the top four!!

and Fly Imps to have fun and get to the PUB first!
