Double Wookie w/ Braylen

By RittsMJ, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Below is a list that looks fun that I found in the batrep forum. But I'm not quite sold on the gunner on Low. Surely 3 (4 if Braylen misses his 1st) shots will be able to double stress a target most if the time. My thoughts are to drop that gunner for either:

1. breach specialist, Jan Ors, or inspiring and up his ept to expertise (since he'll always be reinforcing.

Or

2. Same crew choices as 1, but a torp on Braylen for initial engage (less stressing I know)

Or

3. What else?

Auzituck Gunship: · Lowhhrick (28)
Lightning Reflexes (1)
Tactician (2)
Gunner (5)
Auzituck Gunship: Wookie Liberator (26)
Lightning Reflexes (1)
Operations Specialist (3)
Tactician (2)
ARC-170: · Braylen Stramm (25)
· R3-A2 (2)
Gunner (5)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Rey crew is awesome with op spec. Last ship misses, the focus doesnt go unused, just stock it. Replace gunner with rey, then you have 3pts leftover. Can do Luke on braylen, or upgrade lowhrick to predator. Increase the offense output.

Edit: 1pt init bid could be nice for mirror matches against expertise auzitucks, so you can shoot first and turn off their expertise.

It's a nice list for sure and I fear it more than the triple wookie list. You can't get behind it without being punished and if your list likes actions or expertise.. well..

I'm fascinated. Not convinced, but intrigued. Braylen is one of my favorite builds, so that's excellent. Lightning reflexes is an effective trick to fix the Auzis main weakness, but given that it is only 1 use, I'd still be worried that they can be outmaneuvered too easily. That being said, the initial joust might stress the opponent so much that it wouldn't matter. You could probably afford to drop Loh to a Liberator to free up some points.

So, I think it could very well succeed; practice and see!

I play with the same list at my local meet ups and my opponents dislike all the stress that builds on up them :)

The synergy between Operations Specialist and Gunner can be a killer as you get to use that focus with the second attack.

Also, the fact that you can use OS more than once in a round, it makes this list a wrecking force.

It is a fun list to fly, but just be careful with Braylen as he will be targeted and can be fragile if he is not near Lowhhrick.

Expertise, Breach and Tactician on borh Lowhhrick and the Liberator is imo the way to go - I lost against that nasty list which went undefeated around here.

There is basically nothing to do and they hit like the trucks they are
