Bad List of the Week - Please wreck this Rebel 4 ship

By LagJanson, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, still trying to find something I like to fly that feels good in the current meta swing. I did very well with FSR2, and while it is still strong I don't feel particularly strong against certain match ups post FAQ. Reasons? After Biggs triggers, I no longer control the choices and killing stuff isn't exactly the strong point of half the ships in the list. I threw so many triple-miss with that wookie cruiser...

So, bad idea of the week.

  • Jess Pava: R3-A2, Integrated Astro
  • Lowhhrick: Draw their Fire, Chopper, C-3P0
  • Captain Rex
  • Garven Dreis: R2-D6, Integrated Astro, Adaptability
  • 100 points even

Dreis fires first, passing the focus to Lowhhrick (or Jess if she needs it.) So, Lowhhrick is support, but tankier with 3P0. The added focus token however helps so much to flip those blasted dice. R3-A2 is there to mess with people - it's not something to use every turn, but more waiting for the right moment (or if I know I'm taking a green or if it limits my opponent more than me...) I lose Selflessness... I lose that control element Biggs provides, but I pick up a bit of offense which I like.

Or... I just fly FSR2, believe that my opponent panics and flies into my guns, or they just shoot where I want them to anyway. Really, this will still work in more matches than it should.
