Rey/Lothal Rebel

By Griffon78, in X-Wing Squad Lists

For this store championship season, I'm trying to decide if I continue my standard approach of not flying the same squadron twice. Should I decide to continue this approach, I'm contemplating flying the following list at tomorrow's store championship:

- Rey with Finn, Kanan Jarrus, Expertise, and Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) at 58 points

- Lothal Rebel with Han Solo, Hera Syndulla, Fire-Control System, and Autoblaster Turret at 42 points

My question for those reading is "Can anyone provide feedback on how this squadron has performed in testing/play?"

I ran Rey/Ghost for the last regional season and Endor as its a straightforward list and i was newer to larger venue tournaments. I went 10th at 2 regional and 4-3 at Endor, my downfall being Parattani. I ran Rey with EU and took the ABT and Han off the Lothal. I found that with Hera and placing all the debris i had on the side i was likely to engage on, i was K turning all day and didnt need the turret. Having EU on Rey allowed me to get into R1 and almost be able to end up in the same spot i started in with an s-loop and boost. Don't let Rey be the ship that they focus first or end game with just the Ghost is tough.

@Kabbal13 Appreciate the comments regarding your experience with Rey/"Can't Be Officially Called"Ghost. I tend to spend the SC season playing things that I haven't devoted much time to (in this case, I've never flown Rey since her release), and I tend to enjoy flying the VCX-100 as I have it setup (very similar to my build used to win a SC last season); and I'm not wanting to fall completely in line with the known squadron of Rey/Norra. I know to expect the many weaknesses to which this squadron has to be highlighted over the prolonged exposure of a multi-round SC, but I'm hoping that the inflated hit points additional potential damage output will offset those weaknesses. Again, appreciate the comments.
