I have a regional the coming Sunday, and dunno what list would be better to take... Also dunno how the new FAQ will affect the meta, although it didn't touch anything Rebel. i Want to build a list with some combination of the pilots/ships below:
- Norra Wexley
- Miranda Doni
- Poe Dameron
- Lothal Rebel
- Rey
- Dash Rendar
I know i listed too many pilots, but it's what i am comfortable flying and think are competitive. At the moment i am considering this two lists:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List 1 (100pts)
Rey (58)
YT-1300 (45), Expertise (4), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1)
Miranda Doni (42)
K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Homing Missiles (5)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List 2 (99pts)
Norra Wexley (41)
ARC-170 (29), R2-D2 (4), Expertise (4), Rey (2), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2)
Dash Rendar (58)
YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kanan Jarrus (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any veteran players out there (since this will be my first regionals) that want to help steer me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Upcoming Regional, need help with Rebels list!
Not a veteran player at all, but for my 2 cents List 2 seems like a better combination to me. Albiet I have a lot more experience with those two ships than the two in List 1, so that's probably my main reasoning. Fly what you're comfortable/experienced with.
I like the first one a lot, but I think Miranda is going to want C-3PO to survive, and there's no room for him with those Homing Missiles.
The second one, I think you should go with C-3PO (again) on Norra and give up that 1 point bid. Most people are going to know that Dash is tough to track down, so they'll focus on Norra. Even with 3PO, I think you'll have a tough time keeping her alive. Expertise seems like a great fit for Norra, but I don't know if it's better than PtL. Have you considered Norra and Rey together? You could swap out the ID on Rey for Expertise on Norra...but that would make them very susceptible to any list with Hot Shot Co-Pilot or stress-dealing lists.
Rey (45)
Expertise (4)
Finn (5)

I concur. I fly that exact Rey build quite often locally. It's consistent damage and you'd be surprised how much that focus token for defense can help. Dampeners is great on this build. It's a really solid ship.

The thing is that I don't have C-3PO...

A lot of ARC flyers love Tail Gunner to push through damage via the rear arc. So maybe instead of being concerned about survival, go with a really aggressive approach with them. This would get you back to a 1 point initiative bid, which might be useful.

if you dont have 3PO, then ezra bridger and Kyle Katarn are still solid choices for action economy, with Ezra you can use her to help cover offense while having your pilot ability for defense if you expect fire, and if not? who doesnt love crits! Kyle nets you full action economy: TL, focus, and BR (if you have thrusters) every turn without missing a beat! Just keep them in arc, the damage will come! if you want to be more arc dodgy then run Dash, if you want to fight them more head on run Rey. either way stress is going to hurt you. but its hard to say if control will be a new key player in the meta.
I think list 1 is the best, but put longrange scanners on Miranda, so your first homing missile attack will be fully modified. Then slam away from action. Next round reposition take TL. use TLT shots to recover damage and wait for the oppotunity, to go in for next fully modified missile attack
Mean while Ray sloops away and use TL on each attack and you secure the end game with a fully shielded Miranda
It works pretty well for me
Yeah, i have LRS on Miranda just forgot to list them here. Also after some playtesting i also tend to like more the first list... What i have noticed though is while the Homing Missile is AWESOME i rarely (maybe cause of poor flying...
) get to shoot the second one. So i was thinking if it would be better to remove the Extra Munitions on Miranda for another 2 cost upgrade like Jan Ors for extra survivability or Ion Bombs/Seismic Charges... Any thoughts?
I run bombs and TLT on K wings. Stick Sabine in there for extra lols.
I'm running a 2K Tie list this Friday including Miranda with this build but with Sabine hiding away in Ashoka's captured Tie.
Miranda Doni - 44 points
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Extra Munitions (2)
Seismic Charges (2)
Ion Bombs (2)
Advanced SLAM (2)
I'm also a massive fan of Cluster Mines (I've managed to place 3 lots in the direct flight path of ships and have removed Poe, Teroch and Turr through them flying through all 3 of them!)
The other option is Lothal Rebel and Miranda in this kind of setup:
47 points Miranda Doni
Twin Laser Turret
Extra Munitions
Intelligence Agent
Seismic Charges
Proton Bombs
Advanced SLAM
52 points
Lothal Rebel
Fire-Control System
Autoblaster Turret
Extra Munitions
Sabine Wren
Hera Syndulla
Engine Upgrade
