Double Ghost/Y Autoblaster

By Cloud JT, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What are everyone's thoughts on maybe bringing back the Double Ghost/Y with Autoblaster list? Fenn would regret getting range one of it and with the recent nerfs it could possibly make a slight resurgence. I am thinking about toying around with it in an upcoming store champ.

Bring it back? Where did it go? Just faced one less than two months ago at regionals. It's always tough to fly against, thats for sure.

With the red dice count increasing as well as actions to modify those dice, all that HP doesnt last as long as it use to, but its still a deadly list.

Lol, I guess you're right. I just haven't seen it at all and figured it was a dead list. But with the recent meta it could do well for itself.

I just lost in a store championship final to a double autoblaster ghost list. Tons of hitpoints to chew through

Out of curiosity, what were you running?

Dengar- Expertise, K4, Unhinged and Title

Ketsu- VI, K4, Glitterstim and Title

Went undefeated until the final. Took some unlucky crits and he avoided any unlucky crits. Made one tactical error by being greedy and going to free lock instead of forcing the bump which left me range one of his ghost with the shuttle docked and an autoblaster shot but took all the shields and one or two hull points from one ghost first engagement. The rest went to hell

I've often wondered if the Shuttle docked wouldn't be a better replacement for the Y wing. On the one hand, it's more fragile, on the other, you can provide a surprise undocking, you can get a double tap from one of your ships, and it has a BR. Another downside is the potential less overlap of 3 ships, but you can resolve that by deploying (or not starting with it docked).

I've wondered that as well if the shuttle is worth it over the Y-Wing. Having one Ghost have Hera so it can turn around at will and the other one have the Phantom so it can shoot both ways. Could be good.
