Unsure what to fly

By Biggsy_boy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Tomorrow I'm flying a store champs and I am very indecisive about what to fly. Looking for some opinions. below are some options on what I was thinking of running.

RAC in your face -

RAC - VI, Kylo, Saboteur, Moff Jerjerod, Dauntless, EU

Lieutenant dormitz - Palp, Collision Detector, Hyperwave Comm Scanner

Dash/Poe

Dash - Lone Wolf, HCL, Rey, title, smuggling compartment, anti-pursuit lasers

Poe- Intensity, BB-8, comm relay, Black one, Autothrusters

Nymgar

Dengar - expertise, EM, plasma torps, K4, Unhinged, title, G-chips

Nym - VI, autoblaster, bomblet generator, gavoc title, long range scanners, accuracy corrector, genius, cruise missiles.

I'm definitely open to list changes, except for the RAC list, if I run that, I'm not changing it, it's super fun to fly.

The RAC list won't stand up in the current meta (and I'm struggling to think of one where it would >.>). Note: not saying it can't win games.

Dash/Poe is going to require a lot of mental focus and outguessing your mostly higher PS opponents, OR trying to plink damage through FSR without getting too much in return.

Nymgar is competitive and significantly easier to run over an extended day of gaming. Out of the three you've listed, unless you have a large amount of experience behind the Dash/Poe build, Nymgar is your best bet.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree Nymgar is easiest to run. The RAC build is the most fun. and it's more competitive than you would expect. Except against the rebel junkyard list. The way it spreads out damage is crushing. But I've taking it against paratanni lists, and a couple other things, and it's worked out insanely well. People don't expect a decimator shooting at them 1st turn of the game. It's hard to prepare for.

Different strokes for different local metas. As a player who has done pretty well with RAClo & Quickdraw this season, I'm very confident the list you posted would get eaten alive around here.

But I was especially thinking about the Rebel Junkyard when I made my comment, and it's the reason I'm no longer running RAClo & Quickdraw.

Given your preference for 2 ships try Keyan/Rey or Boba/Whisper if your looking for a challenge.

R2D2 on Poe for tourneys. You need to save MOV. Either drop APL off Dash, or drop to PS8 Poe. No need to run a PS9 Poe without initiative as every other serious PS9 list will have at least a 1pt bid.

I use Geico.

Oh wait, I thought you said insure what you fly.
