Firestorm Squadron

28 Wedges at Seattle, 14 of them had Swarm Tactics, 4 made cut (3 of which had ST).

9 Rebel Hans, 8 with Kanan+ID, 1 of which made cut.

21 Vaders, all 21 had Afterburners, 20 had FCS, only 2 had Hate. Only one in the cut, with FCS/Afterburners.

11 Soontirs, 8 in lists that also had Vader. One made cut (without Vader).

1 out of 7 Anakins, 0 out of 4 Fenn Raus made cut.

Yay! I finally saw Captain Marvel. It’s safe to be on the internet without spoilers again! What’s happening anyway?

...

Luke is Darth Vader’s Father.

Well, got 25th in seattle SOS. Then went 5-0 in hyperspace qualifier and got my ticket to worlds!

Same list: Wedge,Luke,Braylen,Jake, only difference was jake with crack instead of marksmanship

Last three games were two rebel beef and a vulture swarm. Won by 15pts,5pts,6pts. Crazy

After weeks of not finding a scum list I wanted to fly at the Grand Championships I said **** it and took Wedge, Thane, Luke and Jake instead. Went 4-2, lost one game narrowly to Echo/Vader and Palp and chucked a game against a droid swarm as needed a beer and a sit down. Turns out high I undercosted stuff is good.

Still, i'm now the 12th best Rebel player in the UK and have my Dutch Vander alt art to prove it....

thats a lot of init 6 pilots... Wedge is everywhereyou look right now. Vader doesnt leave the hangar without afterburners... ever.

Fenn is probably the glassiest cannon in the game right now... very few ways to protect him using upgrades of any kind... maybe he should be a few points cheaper than 68... Concordia dawn is amazing but if ur using it then ur already tempting the dice gods.

Bartosz beat Sam in the final.

Top 8 lists were

• 2 x Han/Jake

• 2 x Rebel beef

• 5A (5/5/3/1/1)

• Double Jedi double torrent

• Hatchet man (I think)

• Triple i4 Jedi w/sense

They got us all to sign GDPR forms in the morning, so hopefully Alex/Alec will do us a solid and put the top cut lists into list fortress in the next few days as they did for the UK System Open.

It's almost like the point differential of the highest initiative pilot to everything else below it is too small...

Is it possible to learn this power?

Top 8: Julian had Luminara not Mace. Was chatting with him about it briefly.

I'm not sure how Sam D had them kitted out, but a local has been running this which absolutely hunts ace lists. We struggled to find a good approach for rebel beef, though.

Luminara Unduli (44)
Heightened Perception (3)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (16)

Saesee Tiin (44)
Heightened Perception (3)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (16)

Mace Windu (46)
Sense (6)
R4 Astromech (2)
Delta-7B (16)
Total: 200

Some Kansas City guys had started adopting Lumi over Mace, which keeps those torrents alive a lot longer and allows for a deeper bid.

Why bid when you can have regen and still have dial knowledge like this ?

It was similar, but r2s over r4s and no heightened perception. The one change he mentioned he'd considered was improving the quad phantom match up by swapping saesee's r2 down to r4 for the 2pt bid, and the better reactions against decloaking.

Chatted with him briefly, nice fellow. Definitely an ace hunter list, but his ace-iest cut game was vs hatchetman,(the others being vultures, dreadloks, and selfless beef).

I've played that Hatchetman matchup and Vynder moving afterwards with long sweeping moves because of slam is extrememly hard to block and nail down. Trying to catch Vader with blocks is the best shot to win that game, but Vynder moving after and the crazy spike damage is very mean to those Jedi that I like to call the "Middling Jedi."

I don't disagree. I'm not sure why Sense isn't stapled to Mace. There is an argument to be made for the Lumi's ability saving a couple hits each match, though.

So the UK agrees that Han is dumb now, right? And all those people arguing the Han hate was some kind of strange personal attack on Jack Mooney take it back... right? 🤔

I'd compare the UK and Seattle top cuts but the forums are broken on desktop and typing it on mobile sounds like too much work

Is that just around here? I assumed Luminara was the go-to Republic Beef Jedi everywhere 😂

They meant in Anakin/Jedi/2xTorrential lists. Mace is by far the most common choice there (3 > 2).

Hi Thread, what is one ship/pilot that will be A-Tier in July thats irrelevant now?

Hope/Nightmare - Cassian Pilot. [Unsure this happens, but he's a major culprit].


Actual Predictions:

Phantoms across the board (this is hardly a unique thought).
