Hi all, i have my first ever store championship in 2 weeks. I have played a few competive tourns before but nothing bigger then 12 players so be a first time with a tourn so big.

I am kind of tourn between 3 lists. Kind of want peoples opinion on which may do the best. Or any changes they would make.

I feel comftable flying defenders so they will be part of all 3 lists in some way.

1st.

Ryad- ptl, twin ion, x7 title - 36

Vessery- VI, stealth d, x7 title- 37

Omega leader- juke, comms relay - 26

-99

2nd

Ryad- ptl, twin ion, x7 title - 36

Vessery- VI, twin ion, x7 title- 35

Omega leader- juke, comms relay, hull upgrade - 29

- 100

3rd

RAC- Vi, engine upgrade, darth vader, rebel captive, gunner- 62

Ryad- lone wolf, stealth d , x7 title.- 37

-99

Any advice on which list to fly any changes you would make or any tips for a first store championship would be great

Thank you in advance.

List 1 is better than list 2. You could also exchange the hull uograde on the second list to a stealth device. Thats better in my opinion, but both are good solid builds.
I do not like your RAC build. Canibalizing your most expensive ship with Darth Vader is not a good idea. Another thing I do not like about this build is Lone Wolf on Ryad. Often you do not get to use it or very seldom. Below is an alternative RAC build based on the devastating Kylo Ren upgrade. I has three triggers for Kylo Ren: RACs Pilot ability, A Score to Settle, Proximity Mines. Should secure some nasty crits like Blinded Pilot or Damaged Cockpit. This is a very nasty list to play against.

Ryad, A Score to Settle, TIE/x7, Stealth Device (35)
RAC, VI, Kylo Ren, Rebel Captive, Gunner, Proximity Mines, EU (65)

I would recommend the second lists, but switch Omega Leader's Hull Upgrade with Stealth Device. She already forces one opponent's ship to not modify dice against her. The added stealth device lets you have a little more defence against other as you take them out. On average, stealth device should avoid two damage compared to Omega Leader's Hull Upgrade can still suffer from a critical damage.

I just came back from a store championship yesterday. I am not sure if you have three defenders, but I fought an opponent who had an amazing lists that did well overall.

Delta Squadron Pilot (X7 Title)

Countess Ryad (X7, Push the Limit, Twin Ion Engine)

Colonel Vessery (X7, Juke)

99 points

Delta Squadron was a tough blocker and another way to get a target lock to use for Colonel Vessery.

Of the three, the second list with the hull upgrade on Omega Leader replaced with stealth device seems more synergistic to me.

This is all conjecture to me, I've never been to a tournament, and nobody has offered feedback in my similar thread.

Thank you for the replies,

I was on the fence about the hull upgrade or stealth device on OL but I think I may change it to stealth device on OL

I think I am leaning to list 2 now. I am a little worried about the amount of points put in to a 2 attack ship, with only 1 shield 3 hull. but hey whats the worst that could happen.

in reply to every day ace the reason I put darth vader on RAC was at the last few store championships there were a few fenn rau, soonti and low hull aces so darth was there to cripple them. the reasons for lone wolf was it is one of the few EPT that can help on defence rolls. my theory was a focus+evade+ stealth device+ lone wolf would give me a high chance to out grind the last one or two ships after RAC killed the biggest threats and been removed him self.

but I guess in theory that list would bleed MOV like no ones business.
