Hey all!

Took some time away from the game and I've lost my grasp on what lists are performing well. I fly imperial only, and I'm approaching a likely SC tourney in the next month or two. Is there a thread, or a place where there's a list of successful (like top 4's in SC) squads that I could look through? In xwing, they have threads for SC's. Destiny has Meta counting websites, etc. Just would like to take a birds eye view at what people are playing in tourneys to be able to find something that might work for me.

Thanks!

Sunny

Your best bet is digging through @shmitty 's tournament data. @Baltanok might also be able to help with that analysis.

My list(2nd on Regionals)

Arquitenes + Needa + TRC

Arquitenes + TRC

Arquitenes + TRC

Gozanti + Comms Net

Gozanti + Comms Net + Jarrjerrod

Morna

Bossk

Decimator

Dengar

Jendon

Zertrik

Be warned. In modern FAQ this list illegal since Admiral cannot travel on board of Flotilla

Most of these tournament lists were pre-faq, so take it with a grain of salt.

Generally, have at least 4 ships and a plan to deal with squadrons. That usually means squads of your own. There are many successful lists with 1 or 2 ISDs, but if you only take ISDs, or VSDs, you will probably have a hard time reacting to your opponents movement.

Before I left, I tried hard to get an ISD list together, but it just wasn't happening. I'm reading those store championship threads and it looks like ISD's are pretty rare at the top.

I won a tournament with an ISD just this past weekend it was not a SC, but it still performed very well I think

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)

- Darth Vader ( 36 points)
- Avenger ( 5 points)
- Gunnery Team ( 7 points)
- Spinal Armament ( 9 points)

Arquitens-class Light Cruiser (54 points)
- Slaved Turrets ( 6 points)
= 60 total ship cost

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)
- Suppressor ( 4 points)

Gozanti-class Cruisers (23 points)

= 25 total ship cost

1 Valen Rudor ( 13 points)
4 TIE Fighter Squadrons ( 32 points)
1 "Howlrunner" ( 16 points)

Best advice I can give you is find a play style that works for you (big ships, MSU, Squadron based) and stick with it. Its hard to net list in this game and its best to tweak a list to make it work.

It really depends on the store. Look at @BRIKHOUS 's results in the 6/24 championships. 5 isd or VSDs in the top 4 lists. Then look at @Drasnighta 'so results that same week. 0 in the top 4.

ISDS aren't overpowered the way some cards are, but they are solid performers when supported by small ships and fighters.
