Tourney Tomorrow.

By MHamerR8, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, i have a tournament that i have been trying to prepare. This will also help for the store championship. It will give me a better idea. But the idea is to get hits on, while loading stress. I have played my buddy with it a few times and we tried working out any chinks. He has got a really solid list that i am very hard pressed to beat. He knows me well and my list. We have an uncanny nack of being paired with each other each tournament so, i want some suggestions that could possibly just make it a bit better. Not changing the ships or the pilots. Other cards im open for suggestion.

Starkiller Base Pilot - 30

Sensor Jammer - 4

Engine Upgrade - 4

Rebel Captive - 3

Kylo Ren's Shuttle - 2

Pattern Analyzer - 2

Kath Scarlet(imperial) - 38

Predator - 3

Mangler Cannon - 4

Long Range Scanners - 0

Recon Specialist - 3

Slave-1 - 0

Advanced Proton Torpedoes - 6

I had some close success but i wondering if it will be good for tomorrows tournament or a store championship.

Thanks.

@MHamerR8 You might want to verify that you can run these ships together in your tournament. Kath is a scum pilot, and the starkiller base pilot is Imperial. Unless otherwise specified, your list will need to contain ships from the same faction.

Kath Scarlet is imperial. You can only get the scum version if you buy the most wanted expansion. But originally she was imperial in wave two or three.

Oh, my bad. I only play scum FireSpray. Didn't realize she was a part of both factions. That being said, I'm not sure I see a need for the adv proton torpedoes unless you just had room for them. Engine Uprade always works well with the FireSpray.

For the Shuttle if you want stress and aren't afraid to bump go for the Boshek Mara Jade combo or just add Mara Jade. Boshek allows you to mess with opponent movement and Mara hands out stress to all enemy ships at range one.

One problem I could see with the list is that once the firespray goes down the list falls apart as you can't really turn the Shuttle around and once something's behind it it's done for. (Though engine upgrade helps offset this ) I'd probably try a list more like this:

Kath Scarlet — Firespray-31 38
Predator 3
"Mangler" Cannon 4
Thermal Detonators 3
Recon Specialist 3
Extra Munitions 2
Long-Range Scanners 0
Slave I 0
Ship Total: 53
Starkiller Base Pilot — Upsilon-class Shuttle 30
Sensor Jammer 4
BoShek 2
Mara Jade 3
Pattern Analyzer 2
Engine Upgrade 4
Kylo Ren's Shuttle 2
Ship Total: 47

The Shuttle runs in and destroys enemy movement patterns completely, handing out stress like there's no tommorow. Meanwhile Kath tries to do the same from range, however she can also drop stress giving bombs if something gets close enough to be behind her, this with her rear firing arc allows some mad reverse damage and adds even more stress to the list.

anoter option is to cut down some upgrades on these ships and take a tie of some variety:

Krassis Trelix — Firespray-31 36
"Mangler" Cannon 4
Recon Specialist 3
Ship Total: 43
Starkiller Base Pilot — Upsilon-class Shuttle 30
Rebel Captive 3
Engine Upgrade 4
Kylo Ren's Shuttle 2
Ship Total: 39
"Howlrunner" — TIE Fighter 18
Ship Total: 18

Krassis has a hurt in predator when using his secondary and the starkiller pilot still has his maneuverability and stress giving tactics however now Howlrunner can come in later in the fight and swoop in for some more damage.

inpersonally prefer Krassis to Kath but it's more a matter of preference.

hope this helps ;)
