I'm Ready To Rebel

By Greebwahn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone,

Are two rebels viable these days? For example, SuperDash or Fat Han and Norra, Bombing Miranda, or PTL Poe? It seems like there's just not enough dice to throw and too low agility, so they can't keep up with guys like Defenders or Fenn.

However, with 3 ships builds it seems like there's inevitably one obvious target for the opponent to focus down, ie Rex, Miranda, and StressBraylen or M9 Jess, you go for Rex, then Miranda melts, then Jess or Braylen are less effective late game.

Thoughts?

Not much to be said - a Miranda / Leebo squad is the standing Champion of Europe, with Miranda / Dash as a runner-up. Further down the table, you'll find a Kanan / Biggs / *Zeb* list in Top 8, which 90% of the time will function as a two ships list. A friend of mine works local wonders with a variations of Rey & companion lists, featuring Norra, Jan Ors, or Miranda from time to time. All things considered, it might be that a dominant type of a Rebel ship at the moment, big and not so agile body, might just work better in a two ships variant, featuring a large base ship.
