Rebel Snipers

By BanthaFather, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey everyone,

Here's my rebel sniper list. It's accurate and intentional--it might not be super tough, but these pilots make all of their shots count.

Horton Salm [BTL-A4 Y-Wing, R3-A2, Twin Laser Turret] (33)

Tycho Celchu [A-Wing Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Rage, Autothrusters, Wired] (28)

Luke Skywalker [R2-D2, Expertise, Vectored Thrusters] (38)

The idea is to cripple and focus down one target at a time. Horton and Tycho either deal or use stress to their advantage. The consistent damage of a BTL-A4 stressbot TLT Y Wing is made even better by Horton's re-rolls. Tycho does the rage thing, and uses Wired for defense--this loadout also keeps this fairly fragile ship pretty cheap, while ensuring that his shots are accurate. Luke does Luke things: regeneration and consistent damage mean that he's going to be in the game and laying down some hurt for a good amount of time.

Is this the best list? probably not. But it looks like fun, and I'm excited to try it out.

What lists do you use for hyper-accuracy and consistent damage? Do you have any suggestions for my list?

I have a similar concept on the go, but it’s not doing well so far. Goldie is for muddling target priority, luke locks Norra to give her more chance of rolling all paint and snipes around the edges, Ezra adds crits an r2 adds longevity. Problem is when Norra dies so does the damage dealing. I think Ezra needs to be traded for C-3p0 and I might trade Goldie for Biggs, but we shall see. I could then swap R2 for BB-8 and upgrade luke’s Thrusters to an engine upgrade.
