Hoth lists changing for FAQ?

By Lobokai, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just curious, I'm sitting here staring at my Hoth squadron, trying to decide if I should change it post FAQ bomb.

I'd play-tested hard against Parattani and Triple x7, palp aces, and TLT x4 and while I would hardly say I had a hard counter or the next meta list, I feel like I was educated and ready for those challenges.

Now I dunno. Do I reevaluate, or just stick with it? Such a mental tailspin. Anyone else in the same boat or have words of wisdom to share?

My brain has been absolutely ****** by this FAQ, as I am also trying to prep for Hoth. I would probably just fly what youre most comfortable with at this point, because trying to predict an entirely new meta a few weeks before a major tournament is bound to lead to nothing but endless frustration if youre anything like me.

It seems there's quite a few of us that have this problem. I was ready to take my manny, fenn, party bus to hoth. Went 7-1 during practice games. Now that manny got slammed i have to make something else. I agree with Titanium just fly what ypu know how to fly.

If you're not directly affected by the nerf hammer, I wouldn't even consider swapping lists. If you are, then I suppose it's worth debating. I would only consider changing though if it was a list based around Manny or Zuckuss. Palp and x7 still continue to work the same way they did before, but are just slightly less effective. Zuckuss and Manny are going to require a change of play style, so you may wish to reconsider your list if you're going with either of those.
