BUild a list that is entirely reliant one single upgrade card on one of the ships

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

Kind of a reverse psychology of the boba fett kills _______ thread .

What would an awful list look like if its entire function hinged on a one single card somewhere. ( i`m not talking about attani, if one goes the others are not dead in the water)

I actually dont think its possible to build a list that is straight up crippled by losing just one card.That would be a ridiculous amount of interdependent synergy

R2-D2 on every Corran list. There's your first 60.

I would think a Swarm Leader dependent list would be pretty crippled if the pilot with that upgrade were destroyed.

Losing TLT from a Heragator build is pretty devastating.

Losing Advanced Cloaking Device on Whisper would be pretty devastating. Just halfed the agility of half your list.

negative. I've gone 8-3 with my Jess Pava swarm list. Jess Pava always dies first. My A-Wings and Jan clean up pretty nicely tho.

Tie swarm Quickdraw list works okay once QD dies. (QD/Youngster/4 Academy pilots)

5 dice hawk has gone 2-1 with Swarm Leader on Kyle... but I haven't lost Kyle yet lol

Remove Punishing One from Dengar?

Strip R5-P9 from Poe Dameron?

Take Finn away from Rey?

And what happens if the Ghost loses its title?

... and that single upgrade your list should build around should be Saboteur.

Hmmm...colzet, wampa Palp deci with sabatour

2 Decis and Countdown with Adaptive Ailerons. Exactly one upgrade.

Or 2 Upsilons with Collision Detectors and a Decimator.

A Lt. Blount and Homing Missile Z-95 swarm. They all run up and focus, only to have blount killed before he fires off his tracers. So you waste 25 points or so right off the bat, and are left with a bunch of unmodified Z-95s.

Basically anything using Swarm Leader.

Not saying it works at all, but

wouldn't even be fathomable without Hyperwave Comm Scanner.

Maybe some decoy shenanigans list?
