Ladies Night - Rey and Miranda

By hasselhoff54, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was thinking through and realized I don't think I have ever really seen or read much about a Miranda and Rey pairing. Why do you think that is? Here was my idea for a list with both and seems pretty salty. Thoughts?

LADIES NIGHT

100 points

PILOTS

Miranda Doni (46)
K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Sabine Wren (2), Proximity Mines (3), Seismic Charges (2), Advanced SLAM (2)

Rey (54)
YT-1300 (45), Trick Shot (0), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1)

I think the reason this pairing isn't getting much attention now is that it is a variation on a classic rebel archetype; large base turret + small base regen. Dash, Han, or Rey are all 50 something points then pair with a rebel regen wing mate in the 40 something range such as Poe, Miranda, or Norra. Choosing from these pairings (along with specific load out) is pretty much a matter of taste.

As far as your specific list goes, it's not my taste :P personally I really like Homing Missiles on my Miranda for a really powerful alpha strike with two modified 5 die attacks at ps8. I'm not great at using bombs so Sabine is not at her best in my squad; I'd drop her and the bombs to get the Missiles and have 2 extra points.

With 2 more points on Rey there's a lot of options, my favorite would be to swap Trick Shot for Veteran Instincts then pick up Smuggling Compartment and Inertial Dampers. With this set up you move last and can pop ID if someone blocks your S-loop and have a possibly range 1 shot on them. On the other hand ps leveling is never a bad idea, to shuffle your ship activations, so without VI I'd consider Expert Handling or Smuggling with a variety of illicits.

Like I said though, there's plenty of other load outs available, and it's really up to taste of what suits you best.
