Rebel Regen 20 points to fill

By Jazy Sweeney, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi Guys,

I am mainly an Imperial player but I working on a Rebel Regen list for some friends to play/practice against and have 20 points left to fill and I don't know what else to put in and any help/suggestions would be much appreciated my list so far

Poe (ps9) - 33

Lone Wolf - 2

R5-P9 - 3

Pattern Analyzer - 2

Autothrusters - 2

total - 42

Red Ace - 29

R2-D2 - 4

Comm Relay - 3

Autothrusters -2

total - 38

Captain Rex with Sabine's TIE, tactician, BMST is one of my favorite ways to spend 18 points.you could also do a basic Ahsoka.

cheers it does seem that it's likely to be a rebel tie and Rex could be an interesting idea

Ahsoka Tano (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Captured TIE (1)

Total: 19

She can give your aces a second action like boosting or TL.

Captain Rex (14)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Cloaking Device (2)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Total: 20

An evade after decloaking/cloaking, and Intel helps with where to decloak. Makes Rex a tough bugger to shoot down, which gels nicely with the theme of your list.

I'd say you would be best with ahsoka with VI and captured tie. You can use her as a blocker and give both poe and red ace some offensive or mobility options. Captain rex will just be shot down as the first target, making your regeneration a bit redundant in the first rounds.

Actually that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Leaving Regen ships alive longer makes them harder to kill as they are strongest in the late game when there are fewer enemy to bring them down. Killing a Regen ship on the opening joust is fairly easy if you concentrate your fire. If Rex absorbs some/all of that heat then the Regenerators get a good head-start on survivability.

Putting Jan Ors on Rex to pre-charge Red Ace's Comms relay might be a good idea. That is one more hit point for your enemy to burn through and since you can do it on Turn 1, there is no need to worry about wasting the points.

Whilst I love Red Ace, I think that Nora might be a better candidate for this list as she hits significantly harder. If you are running her without Biggs then I normally put C-3PO on her for extra damage mitigation. I have to admit that I also prefer PTL on Poe, particularly with Pattern Analyzer. While LW makes him an awesome endgame piece, having to keep him at arms-length from his buddies makes it harder to get him to that point. Also, PTL enhances the value of Pattern Analyser since he can do 2 actions and end up Stress-free when he pulls a green. Based on that, I would rejig the list as follows.

44 Poe (33), PTL (3), R5-P9 (3), Autothrusters (2), Pattern Analyser (2), Black One (1)
41 Nora (29), PTL (3), R2-D2 (4), C-3PO (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2)
14 Captain Rex (14)

Rex will go poof fast without accomplishing much. Ahsoka, VI and captured tie is a good choice if you want to support the other two and play a game of protecting the t70s.

Rebels are pretty weak at 20 points. Youre looking at a Z-95, A-wing, tie, or attack shuttle. Any choice is a likely first target that can go down fast. Ahsoka is the only one who can promise performance over the length of a game, but I think you could get mileage out of Zeb in the shuttle with an autoblaster turret that is still 3 red dice and a turret for 20 points.

I'd also consider dropping PA on Poe to have the points for a naked B wing, Blount (z-95) with ion pulse missle and deadeye, or Ezra shuttle with elusiveness.

This. Plus Black One title on Poe

thanks for the suggestions guys I've chose to fill the gap with Sabine so my list is as follows

Poe (ps9) - 33

Lone Wolf - 2

R5-P9 - 3

Pattern Analyzer - 2

Autothrusters - 2

total - 42

Red Ace - 29

When it comes to Ashoka, I use the VI and Captured tie like everyone said, but I like to add the title and BMST.

It lets her get some damage output without being attacked.
