3 B Wings

By Slater44, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking for pointers on this list as I'm switching over to rebels and love the classic ships. I've read a lot on how the three B wing list isn't so meta friendly right now, especially expensive ones... I thought i'd still give it a shot. Anything you'd change? Was wondering if you'd switch out Hera Syndulla on the Blue for "Chopper"?

I like your idea! I'm playing with one B-wing in my list at the moment. Having trouble with the stress movability, so I would definitely recommend to go for Hera.

I'm flying Keyan w/ E2, Hera, and Rage (32 points). Check the FAQ; you can remove 1 stress even if you don't roll focus results. Hera keeps him maneuverable.

I support Keyan with Nera, equipped w/ VI, FCS, Plasma torps, EM, and chips (35 points). 77/100.

Yeah Hera seems the way to go for sure. I dig C3PO for the extra defence so I think I'd just throw Hera in the Blue for extra maneuverability on that list.

Alekzanter - have you found that Keyan build is effective? Does he or Nera become the bigger target? I'd just be worried about the two stress but faq is saying either way you clear one?

Using your build I threw this one together for 100 pts... I'm intrigued now :P.

I've used Nera with Adv Protons, Extra Munitions, B-wing E2, Han, and FCS. its 39 points but when you get the torps in then it really can hurt, on the few occasions I've used her then I've generally landed 5 hits with both shots which can be really useful whittling down the big ships, or one shotting ties!

Nera is the "juicy" target. ISYTDS is popular as ****, here, and she gets blinded A LOT. Keyan works well unless he rolls blanks during the second round of stress...

I fly them in formation, then K-turn with one or the other to pincer a target. I've recently swapped Intensity Jake out for Rebel Nym with Bomblet, Bombardier, and Adaptability (-1) so everyone in my squadron is the same PS (7).

It's 15 shields, 11 hull. Pretty durable, enough to get both torps off, most games.
