It's already a thing.

out of interest, how did the defenders win and what was the list? I've spent some time thinking on that matchup, and I don't see a real way for the defenders.

Fenn had trouble keeping arc and range of the Ghost and in most instances, I preferred to coordinate help to the Ghost than using Fenn to deny dice mods.

His dice were decent on attack and he burns his focus with not a care in the world, so he just wore the Ghost down while I did 0-3 hits a turn on his Defenders, because of decent green dice and all those tokens. Don't get me wrong, everything was burning at the end, but it works. @Mynock Delta's son's version is probably better in this matchup (Predator Ryad and Maarek and a Delta), but my son refuses to drop crackshot, though he did try to branch out from Glaives and did Glaive/Ryad/Maarek.

He also went 2-2 with that list in a tournament yesterday, with his 2 losses being very, very close matches. In some matches, not being PS6 across the board actually hindered him.

I've been testing 2 x7s + a third ship against Ghost/Fenn recently, and I can say that the extra HP and time on target is awfully useful in that matchup. Focus/Evade is not as good as Autothrusters in the long run, but with six hit points and more shots back at the Ghost over time, you just take it and stay on target. Not having to be in a perfect position to be in a defensible position while taking a shot is pretty nice.

So, did anyone happen to see the final salvo in R6 of the Winnipeg regional?

10 vs 5

The young man rolling 10 dice got a single hit and lost. Incredible.

From a certain perspective your right, Ghost/Fenn makes Miranda/Low feel fun, fair, and balanced.

Thanks harpoons.

Pretty sure all Miranda and Palpatine lists are basically jank at this point.

I’m pretty sure I’m never going to a store champs or higher without multiple flight assist Astromechs at this point.

Edit: the quad y wing list on stream this weekend looked perfect, but I keep trying to unwholesome list build in bombs and stress.

I'll never stop using Darth Vader and Pure Sabacc, but I keep trying to unwholesome list build in ways to do 16 damage round 1.

Meta-Wing can't take the sky from me. Despite how much it keeps changing the definition of freedom itself.

*Edit: also we should probably keep gradually increasing font sizes.

So I tested FAA bombs with jank, three gray squad with TLT, BTL, extra munitions, two had clusters and one had Connor nets.

It was a pickup game against a guy with an imperial firespray and a couple /fo. I shot the firespray once (missing on the primary and one of the TLT shots) and clustered it to death, and got one off a primary and both TLTs on an fo before netting it off the board.

My opponent said he hates TLT at the end of the game. I did 3 damage with TLT (out the front arc), about that much with y wing primaries, and the rest was all bombs. Am I the bad guy? Does no one get it? Should I just wear a hat with a skull on it and be done?

are..are..are we the baddies?

Seriously, I would way if anything made you "the bad guy" it was bombs. TLT BTL Y-wings are stil BTL Y-wings, and have the maneuverability of small houses. Especially at PS 4, that can be arc dodged - and if you are below that, you can dodge the bombs - its a win/win. Seems balanced and fun to me, but that may just be in the context of ghost/fenn existing.

That’s why you used to put R4-D6 on Biggs. So the X-wing could live another round.

No, that droid cancels hits not TLT damage.
