what to run with this

By Anatak12, in X-Wing Squad Lists

E wing

Etahn

Push the limit

Stealth device

R2F2

sensor Jammer

the idea is move, action R2F2 to add one agi bringing up to 5 agi with stealth device ,and push for an evade use sensor jammer to flip any hits. not sure what to run with it though.

I'm going to be as tactful as I can, but tact is not my strong suit.

Never trust green dice.

45 points; you're spending almost half your list on something most players would call a lost cause. Conventional X-wing wisdom says any E-wing that isn't Corran Horn is garbage. You're also spending 13 points on defensive upgrades at the expense of having any offense. That is a recipe for self-loathing and disappointment.

I really recommend you try the build yourself. Don't just take my word for it. Sometimes players do amazing things with ships and upgrades that have been written off as a lost cause. Just understand that some things in X-wing really are a lost cause.

If you're going through with this, then fly with Biggs and whatever else you can fit. Biggs might give your E-wing another round or two. Your build will be annoyingly difficult to hit, but not impossible. Maybe it will be enough for an unexpected victory, but it's more likely that Biggs is just delaying your inevitable defeat.

already tried it with Norra R2D2 build won a local tournament 3 games wiped the board each time , I keep hearing the green dice comment a lot.

the problem is I run Nora with almost every build Han Mill Falcon build I win most every time ( swarms still kill me though, never won a game against them) So I'm looking for someone other than Norra. but she is such a solid build

that she finds her way in my list almost every time, it's gotten to the point when people see me place her on the table I get the "dude not her again" comment it's all in good fun but I can tell they are not looking forward to playing.

the Ewing was a spur of the moment replacement for the Falcon cause I had loaned it out, and I pretty much got the same comments you gave, and then it worked,....so I'm looking for something else to run it with.

It sounds silly but it works 5 dice for defense, the ability to flip a hit and an evade as last resort, hide behind rocks or at range 3 thats 6/7 dice when most ship are tossing 3 dice at you the odds work, that being said I have not played it against a swarm list.

so any second ship idea would be great

I'm curious about your local player pool and the lists you typically run against. In my local scene I see too much auto-damage to make a 45-point investment in a defensive build. It's too bad to, because about six months ago I had a hot streak with a defensive Corran.

I'm recommending Biggs again. I personally hate playing Biggs, but sometimes he really is the best option. With Biggs, you should have enough points left for Ahsoka. She can feed your other ships actions at start of combat, which should help you overcome the disadvantages of your list's low PS.

If you want to keep it a 2-ship list, then Miranda is always an option. Maybe a light Dash with Lone Wolf, Rey, Mangler and Outrider. Chewbacca has some good builds for 55 points.

we have a pool of 30 ish players and travel to other towns from time to time, I've only been playing for about 6 months. I was looking at a Chewy build, I didn't think of Ahsoka though. Dash sounds cool bought the Expac for cards but have yet to play him.

thanks for the ideas
