Max 50 points any ship/pilot

By Khsofsso, in X-Wing

I think Corran is a strong choice - you could even try a VI version for maximum arc-dodging capability:

Corran (50)
R2-D2
FCS
Engine
VI
Proton Torpedoes

The absolute strongest choice, though, is clearly Omega Leader:

Omega Leader (30)
Shield Upgrade
Comm Relay
Juke

You'll win every engagement there is, except possibly a Kylo Upsilon with Gunner, VI and HotCop. Every other match up is easily won.

OL can still be arc dodged, a TLT will still wear him down, and he's still super vulnerable to bombs. Not to mention Black One and Countermeasures.

An unmodified TLT has a very low chance to hit a target with focus+evade (you pretty much need 3 natural hits to even have a chance).

Bombs are a good point, and both Miranda and Nym have a good chance.

Black One and countermeasures are both fairly rare cards these days, and Poetensity has some very obvious weak match ups over Regenerating Poe, so it's unlikely you'd face it. II you did, it'd be game over though.

Wait, you were serious about Omega Leader? Assuming pilots of decent skill or better on both sides, there's no scenario in which OL beats the Miranda I posted.

For the hilarious option, the most expensive Capture TIE possible:

Just hope to goodness everyone else is PS6 or below, then fly around in circles hoping they;re worth less points.

I'll see your Ashoka with one of my own...

This could actually be hilarious. I'm gonna try it in regular play!

If every game is going to be 1vs1....

  • Kath Scarlet
    • Slave 1
    • A Score To Settle
    • Mangler Cannon
    • Ion Pulse Missiles
    • Extra Munitions
    • Agent Kallus
    • Long Range Scanners

A Score To Settle is a nice pairing with (Imperial) Kath's ability - you can dodge the missile and be stressed or not dodge it and be ionized...

I would play Ig88c with lone wolf, hlc, autothusters and advanced sensors. Make sure to always have the evade and boost away from primary arcs and try to set up R2-3 shots as much as possible.

No idea if it's any good, but Tel Trevura gets full attack mods:

Tel Trevura (30)
Expertise (4)
Dengar (3)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Punishing One (12)

Total: 50

I would go with Poe+BB-8+PTL+AT+Black One+Primed Thrusters+APT.

Captain Oicunn + Determination + Rebel Captive + Ysanne Isard

Ramming for damage, determination and Isard for some mitigation, rebel captive to always stress and force green maneuvers every turn.

Lone Wolf should probably be banned in a single-ship-only format.

What about Wes or anything with Black One

I don't think Wes is likely to come up when Poe is so much better in a single ship format since you can actually put 50 points on him. Poetensity would probably rip Omega leader to shreds, yet be annihilated by a lot of the remaining good options, such as Miranda and Nym.

You've convinced me it's not the best choice, but I think it would be one of the funniest.

From personal experience, yes, it should.

The chance is 1 out of 5 AND you have a 1 out of 3 chance to create a tokenless defender. Meaning that a single TLT will slowly get past the defense of OL. Something like Kanan should be real trouble for OL. Poe with Black One Title, etc
And two dice mean trouble as well in the offense, a lot of ships will not mind getting shot by that.

That pretty much qualifies as a "very low chance". If you estimate that Omega leader will lose a damage every 2 turns to a TLT (accounting for a bit of token loss) then it'd take 7-8 turns to kill him. Not many ships can survive that long. Miranda might, but it's iffy.

If Kanan doesn't have Engine Upgrade than Omega Leader's already won, since staying at range 1 is easy for multiple turns in a row given the ghost's dial.

I think the 2 dice are less of a concern when Juke + TL is brought into play. It's reliable damage, which I think is better than spike damage in this format.

Just saying 50 points

Yup (50)
