New player start squad

By Riley298, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So just started had 2-3 games I currently have:

- force awakens core set

- sabine tie

- heroes of the resistance

im thinking of running :

falcon (TFA) Rey pilot,finn and trick shot

=50

captain Rex14

=64

poe dam(8), black one,bb-8,primed thrusters,intergrated astromech,veteran instincts 36

=100

any thoughts for a beginner is there anything that is a big mistake anything I have that is a must bring item/pilot?

thanks

Pattern Analyzer is better than Primed Thrusters for Poe. With BB-8 he can make fair use of Trick Shot.

Finn is expensive crew, but he is actually better when you spend 1 more point to get the Millenium Falcon. (It helps keep Rey pointed the right way.) That point would require you to knock your TIE Fighter down to Zeb.

If you're not playing competitively, you should proxy cards you don't have. I suggest this:

Rey+Poe (98)

Rey (58) - YT-1300
Expertise (4), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (1)

Poe Dameron (40) - T-70 X-Wing
Lone Wolf (2), R5-P9 (3), Pattern Analyzer (2), Autothrusters (2)

Thanks for reply, noticed that straight away yesterday in a game regarding primed thrusters.

i am little confused about the kanan jarrus choice... would that skill allow me to remove the stress from Rey(when she uses title skill 180) or does it mean a ship within range 1-2 so it can't be itself ? As Poe would be distant to allow lone wolf to work

Every ship is considered to be range 1 of itself, so Kanan works on the ship he's on. (Keep an eye out for cards like "Howlrunner" that say "other friendly ships", so they can't provide the effect to themselves). And yes, Kanan on Rey with the title is so good it's practically autoinclude. Unfortunately. I always like when there are more options for ship builds, unlike Soontir Fel, Rey, and Dash Rendar, for example.

Thank you for the replies guys, will give that a test run this evening along with a couple of different Poe builds.

I agree the pilots mentioned have very few options. Some people might even argue each of those examples have one "viable" build each. (I disagree.) My complaint about pilots like Soontir, Dash and Rey is the number of expansions required to feed their appetite for specific upgrades.

Can I copy, paste here the new topic, I posted, as it says it needs to be approved by a moderator?

This is only my 2nd post in the forums. I'm new, and a X wing newbie.

Would like to ask for slight tweak help for B wing, X wing, A wing list.

Reason ask before post: so that do not hijack your thread.
