2017 Nationals Championships

By MajorJuggler, in X-Wing

Corran is good because he attacks twice, effectively doubling his offensive value. Same reason we see so much of Dengar, Quickdraw, and Kanan, as well, since they all "double-tap" in their own ways. Bossk + Cluster Missiles + Crane is about the only YV-666 build that's close to competively viable, and he's double-tapping with those missile shots. All of this bodes well for the new Khirakkadkalsdf PS4 who can double-tap when folks get bombed, though being Scum he's competing with quite a few A-listers.

Makes you realize just how darn bad the Falcon has been in the current meta since the Resistance "double-tap" Chewie is nowhere to be seen.

Are there some videos of the games anywhere?

I'm not sure there were any attacks performed by that list.

A copy pasted mistake, it's how FSR (any version involving Biggs/Rex/Lowrick) is called by who compiled the info

So Nym is 4 for 4 at national and continental championships so far?

3 Rebel and 1 Scum so far

Commonwealth defenders and a TFA Chewacca on TOP8... Sure South African meta is interesting...

That's the best thing I've read on these forums.

I like the TFA Chewy list. Suboptimal but brave one. Thumbs up!

Huge surprise. Undercosted, can get to PS10, amazing dial, amazing upgrade bar, minimal counterplay, infinite bombs, doesn't take damage from own bombs, can drop bombs after maneuver, and can fly like a drunk and still bomb you. God I hate this wave.

Commonwealth is a fine list that isn't really flown for the fact that it is double the nerf.

I think TFA Chewie is a sleeping giant. His ability is way better than he is given credit for. ANYTHING that offers extra shots is good. I mean, how many extra attacks do you get with QuickDraw anyways? 1, often 2, sometimes 3? Chewie gets about the same with his Zs.

Weird I would have never known until you said that.

Boy, wouldn't it have been a real interesting set of Nationals if Imps also got a Nym in the Scurrg Expansion with all these wonderful bells and whistles? It would be like, all Scurrg, all the time; they could have sold the ship for $40 each and still sold lots and made lots more cash. Oh, and look, a bonus whether FFG wants it or not: an absolutely balanced meta at the top.

.....weird to even think that, huh?

Footnote: Oh, and you Star Wars purists who want to throw poo; don't start spouting any of that defense of cannon stuff cause this game doesn't hold that line. Say hello Advanced Slam, Arc Caster, etc.

Sounds like someone hasn't discovered VI, Cruise missiles, Vader and Quickdraw yet... Run 'em and see how quickly Nym goes down...

Yeah! And look at all the Alpha Strike PS11 Cruise Missile Imp lists that made it into top cuts at major events! SIGN ME UP!

Represents half the top 4 of French nationals, one of them was a UK player so there's an archetype that's being tested across Europe. Cruise is a growing theme in general. PS Wars are a thing.

We are going to be seeing more of these guys.
