I really have a lot of fun flying tier 2 squads. Have been playing BBBBZ and 4xB with Advanced sensors a lot and had a blast playing 2x FCS B-wings, 2x Tracer Z95:s with some different stuff. I have also enjoyed playing some Tie Advanced PORC lately.

What squads that are perhaps not really top notch have the rest of you been flying?

Define Tier 2... I may actually fly Tier 3 and mistakenly believe it's Tier 2.

• 27 - Hobbie (25) : Targeting Astromech (2), Integrated Astromech (0)
• 26 - Tarn Mison (23): M9-G8 (3), Integrated Astromech (0)
• 24 - Red Sqdn (23): R2 astromech (1), Integrated Astromech (0)
• 23 - Gold Sqdn (18): R3-A2 (2), Dorsal Turret (3), BTL-A4 (0)

I've been testing out Snap/Juke Green A-Wings w/ Stress Braylen carrying Ops Specialist. Most people would probably consider it Tier 2, but it's been performing very well in my games with it so far. I look forward to trying it out in store championships in the future.

Its not that important I would say. There are a bunch of lists that have done well at worlds and other major tournaments and those are pretty much not the lists I am looking for. Tier 2 and below are fine and if anyone is worried if their list is Tier 1-1.5 dont let that stop you from posting.

My current go to squad is 3 Mindlink Scyks and Palob. I find it's really versatile, though it was better back in the pre-nerf meta because it matched up really well against triple Defenders.

• Tansarii Point Veteran - Attanni Mindlink, "Heavy Scyk", "Mangler" Cannon (24)
• Tansarii Point Veteran - Attanni Mindlink, "Heavy Scyk", "Mangler" Cannon (24)
• Tansarii Point Veteran - Attanni Mindlink, "Heavy Scyk", "Mangler" Cannon (24)
• Palob Godalhi - Attanni Mindlink, Autoblaster Turret, Cloaking Device, Stygium Particle Accelerator, Intelligence Agent

That's my favoured iteration that I've tested with, though I've had success with a TLT Palob and I'm playing with a build that downgrades one TPV to Inaldra so that I can up another to Genesis Red. It's a huge benefit having all my ships at PS 5 though, so I don't think the named Scyks are going to stick around. When Guns for Hire drops I'll have the option of running a super slimmed down Guri (Starviper Mk 2 and Attanni Mindlink) in place of Palob, which is interesting enough but I don't think will usurp him for long.

I love any list with some Rebel HWKs. Especially Roark. This is a super fun list that hasn't been super competitive but is a blast to fly.

Brobots. I enjoy it and still get it to tabe occasionally.

Any squad that's Imperial, especially Interceptor squads; they're fun on beer nights!

I usually win with this but I don't really think it is top tier. But it can be so much fun, slooping the falcon with no stress and then boosting is AMAZING!!

Poe Dameron — T-70 X-Wing, R2-D2, Sensor Cluster, Integrated Astromech, Black One, Ship Total: 38

Rey — YT-1300, Expertise, Finn, Kanan Jarrus, Engine Upgrade, Millennium Falcon (TFA), Ship Total: 62

Norra, PtL, Title, Tail Gunner, BB-8, Engine Upgrade
Tycho, Title, PtL, Rage, Chimps, Prockets

Jake, Title, Adapt Up, S2S, Chimps, Prockets

Great fun

I have love a whole squad (or since it only six, is it a half-squad ? demi-squad? hemi-squad? squadette?) of Scyks for years.

Squints are also a favorite, although I find Baron of the Empire to be more practical for Epic builds.

And anything with Kath Scarlet. She's my sweety.

Yeah, Interceptors are the most fun to fly and the +4 generics do well in a lot of Epic setups. TIE Advanced Prototypes at the same generic level with a missile on board are also quite a blast in Epic and might just be the best Imperial all-around ship in those setups. I once played an Epic game where I threw in Valen Rudor with a homing missile because I had just enough points and I kept the missile to the bitter end and it won the day against the CR-90; as it also made the other ships avoid his arc up to that point too.

Anything with a Warden Squadron K-Wing bomber. Triple K is probably the strongest of those lists, but I've taken stuff like two Wardens and a U-Wing to tournaments and done alright.

I'd consider my main competitive list right now a sold tier 2. I'm 21-12 with it currently.

Bossk, K4, DTF - 39

Mando Merc, S1 Title, LRS, Dengar, Stims, Fearlessness - 41

Kaato, Concussion, Deadeye, Chips - 20

I have been looking for the best tier 2 TIE and settled on the TAP. I also like the missile option, and tend to favor prockets for the big boom. I flew the Defender x7 for quite a while because I had been tired of losing, but now just want to use something else. I also like the TIE/sf for Epic, but I'm not sure that ship is really Tier 2. I am mildly interested in the TIE Aggressor as another option (we have a healthy respect for TLTs but don't consider them broken--OTOH, we would never fly only TLT ships; they are added for support).

Is it legal to 3 slight and use title to change to sloop then use Kansan to remove stress?

Yep.

I play tier 3. The Empire.

Hum. That's pretty decent. I wonder if you really need vet instincts in top meta

2 Omega Specialists with Snapshot and Major Rhymer with Snapshot, Tactician, and Op Spec. Ton of fun. Can beat other Tier 2's, but not anything Tier 1 or Tier S.

I, too, enjoy playing networked murderbots.

Dont know if its Tier 2 or 3 but i really like this:

Wedge Antilles — X-Wing 29
Expertise 4
R5-P9 3
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 36

Biggs Darklighter — X-Wing 25
R2-F2 3
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 28

Luke Skywalker — X-Wing 28
Expertise 4
R2-D2 4
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 36

I Think this is Tier 3 but...

Fenn Rau:

• Autothrusters
• Concord Dawn Protector
• Push the limit (Yeahhh no Mindlink!)

Boba Fett:

• Guidance Chips
• Fearlesness
• 4-LOM
• Homing Missiles
• Slave I
• Extra Munitions.

Jakku Gunrunner:

• Spacetug Tractor Array
• Ketsu Onyo

That Jakku Gunrunner may Work as a Little Biggs in order to attract enemy fire. That boba is awesome, you just have to deal with the dial of the Firespray without Engine Upgrade. And Fenn Rau with PTL is amazing.

Brobots. I really wish they'd have gotten some kind of useful upgrade in the past 4 waves to keep them interesting/competitive.
