26 point Wingman for Rebels that doesn't have a moustache please

By Archangelspiv, in X-Wing

Hi Everyone,

As the title suggests, I need a wingman. My list is in the thread below, Is Poe and VI Wes, the idea being that No target lock will stick to these guys. Problem though is I have up to 26 points left and I have no idea what to add.

I come from an Imperial and Scum background, so thought I needed to expand my universe and see how the other third lives.

Cheers for your help.

Ahsoka is probably a good shout.

VI/Masterpiece/Captured TIE/Rey/Scavenger Crane. Letting Poe take actions in the combat phase will give you the ultimate in TL removal.

24 points

Pava is amazing in a formation. 25 point base cost plus a 1 pt droid for Integrated Astromech.

I have a very similar squad saved (Primed Thrusters not Sensor Cluster).

I have two solutions to test: VI Airen Cracken and a Torp on Wes (so two PS10 torpedo strikes, chips on Wes optional), or Jess Pava because it's Jess Pava. More unlikely suggestions that I discarded: Intensity Sabine in the Attack Shuttle, Ion Cannon B-Wing.

Tarn Mison - M9-G8, Integrated Astromech?

What does the crane do for you in this combination? She doesn't have any of those slots.

Captured TIE...

The other obvious 26 point classic is the Stresshog.

Dont forget about the good old tlt y-wing

I mostly play rebels and never use Biggs, out of principle. My go-to is the stresshog for 26. Fits very nicely with Poetensity and Jake

Another fun possibility is Tarn+M9G8, or Hobbie+TargetedAstro (27!), or Jess+R2D6+0pt EPT+IA

I was much the same with Palp, which is probably why I want to avoid Biggs. But not really having played Rebels, no idea where to go. Some awesome ideas here though, cheers a lot.

Tarn Mison is very much mustachioed, however maybe the full beard makes it acceptable?

Kashyyyk Defender (24) and 1-2pts worth of crew to taste. Commando's and have a 1pt bid or free up a pt elsewhere or Rey to bank focus for offense. Tactician for some stress control. (just me trying to find ways to use the new wave - 26pt stresshog or Jess are probably best. Could go Roark to boost another ship to 12 and shoot first (Rex or a stressbot).)

Cheapest Wingman in Rebels is probably Sabine, 17 points with "Wingman" EPT :D

Jess Pava with a 1 point Astromech and IA is the best 26 points you can spend in a 3 or more ship Rebel list IMO.

Agreed - as long as the rest of the list supports formation flying!

Jess Pava.

Ah ok, I missed that line of text. I was only looking at the upgrade icons.

Jess Pava
TLT Y Wing
Airen Cracken + Expertise, Cruise Missile, Guidance Chips
Various A Wings

Dude! I know, I know!

I have got the perfect Wingman :)

Biggs!

Tadaaa!

He comes in at 25 points. Just put anastromech on top and intregrated.

And guess what? The enemy can't even fire at your better ships as long as Biggs is close to them :D yehaaaw!

I'll add another recommendation for Jess Pava. She's a super solid member of the team when she has buddies near by. Like other have been saying, her with a 1 point Astromech and IA is an excellent fit for 26 points. While the R2 Astromech is a simple, good option, I would like to suggest R2-D6 as the 1 point Astromech to go with. With it giving you a EPT slot, you can put in one of the free EPTs, like Adaptability or A Score To Settle. With her build in rerolls, A Score To Settle should be a nice investment for her.

VI Ahsoka, Title, Captured TIE, Sabine, Seismics, Crane.

2x Z-95

It really depends what you want to do

25 Airen w/ VI, HomingM, Chips. - High PS alpha + action economy. His advantage is he can help you PS kill something early, and once he fires his missile (which he will) he become a much smaller target. He's good if you have munitions on Poe and/or Wes.
26 Tarn w/ G9M8, IA. - tanky-ish support ship. TL Wes or Poe turn 1 to give them rerolls, then later bounce your lock around to tank damage. Makes a decent anvil for your 2 aces.
26 Gold w/ TLT, R3A2. - tanky-ish control ship. similar to Tarn, except this guy gives you a control element instead. People will gun for him hard, which is a good thing as it helps the 2 aces.

Personally I like Tarn, but I'm biased towards the triple X-wing squad.
