What is this list?

I want to be mad, but I don't know how yet.

• 5 rebel ships, the ultimate NPE
  • I mean... I still have fair ship rebel PTSD so the mere thought of 5air ship level does give me pause

Imagine being so triggered that the mere concept of similar looking ships in similar looking numbers makes you mad.
5 rebel ships if anything is just a throwback to 5X in the dying days of 1e, or really, 4BZ. No Synergies or stress hogs, Just raw health and dice

I don't have to imagine. J5k, triggered. Ghost, triggered. K-wing, triggered

That was the joke

Ok, I recall reading/skipping past hangar bat rules somewhere in an FFG document... anybody know where to find them

literally every resistance ship

5 rebel ships, the ultimate NPE

 tie swarm

tripsilon (up up up)

boba/fenn/seevor/whatever in scum

rebel falcons

 cheap vader

2.0 is the best

just order the list by the number of people who call it '2.0 ghost fenn' and we're set

TIE Swarms are also in the camp of both DOA and absolutely broken best list depending on who you ask.

I'm excited to see which absolutely broken best list is actually good, between all the things I've heard "top level xwing players" say is going to break the game:

Unironically, I agree.

From my testing, most lists seem to be good. So matchups feels really important now, as the lists aren't evenly good vs each other.

I havent felt that to much yet.

For me the conclusion was rather the opposite: matchups are less important and my approach has a much larger impact on the result.

Are two Ewings and an Xwing a thing in anybody else’s meta? I’m seriously wondering if I missed a memo. Third list person this week locally discussed their take on this. About all I’ve got so far is that it’s fun and people are seeing some success with it, but when it loses it burns fast.

Sounds like a "burns you alive" list if you wander into it without thinking.

Oh, duh, late night posting - Braylen's is clearly better. So, 6 points for pretty consistent two offensive rerolls. It also kinda doubles your agility, haha.

Gotta fight that instinct to dismiss me out of hand or argue something ajacent to what i said

haha, what's happening? I mean I was looking at the wrong Bwing like a moron. If braylen's ability was 6 points would you take it? It's definitely better than optics right? Maybe optics isn't worth 6?

Maybe upgrades aren't worth it on bwings?

Definitely seeing them pop, usually Rogues with Biggs.

Can be very effective, lots of modded dice, and 3 agility makes them potentially hard to kill.

Pro tip: do the team hanger bays. Find three people that just want to honorably joust and split the prizes. You played one game and are done and get 4.5 tickets per pod. It's how I managed to all of the clear plastic Alt arts.

But that’s beating the system! I will not confirm or deny that this has been discussed with the carpool of attending players.

I think I've put him on the table once since 2.0 and he did fine. But the games I've seen... they can't be unseen. Majority he either straps on his lance and jousts quite honorably because... 5 dice. Or he ends up at at R3 in 3 arcs without 1.0 autothrusters and takes a crit from each

Fpppt, real noobs like me manage to get him perfectly into range 2 every time ! All the disadvantages with none of the advantages 🤣

Those people need to have their Fenn license revoked.

Seeing how dropping Leia's points made her viable, how low would Krennic have to drop in order to be a solid choice in Imperial list building without becoming oppressive?
