Bring your Poe builds here!

By gennataos, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I feel like Advance Optics is going to open up so many possibilities. I can't decide if I like this PS9 one or go with VI and shift between PS10 or PS11, depending on points available in the squad and PS meta.

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Lone Wolf (2)

I know people are going to **** on Outmaneuver, but...maybe?

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Outmaneuver (3)
BB-8 (2)
Advanced Optics (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Total: 43

This is some dumb kind of maneuverability.

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Daredevil (3)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)
Advanced Optics (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Poe version (PS9 version)

Adaptability

R5P9

Weapons guidance

auto thr

2 x Green Sqd awing---, w/ptl, auto thr, cardan rf

awing proto--- w/cardan rf

99 pts

Black one on Poe for 100 pts

Looks like it might be fun...

I still like him with black one, bb8, Intensity and auto-thrusters. I save a point on the com relay version to do the same stuff.

edit, to save points, trick shot is also cool - just park behind rocks for four target locked Dice with Pocus and bb8 out of the way after.

I think it should have Primed Thrusters or Pattern Analyzer (sounds like you meant it to).

I kind of like the sounds of just super-cheap

And you're done.

Or maybe Predator instead of Lone Wolf.

Some of the new cards open up some interesting possibilities, but I really can't look past the classic Poe set-up:

Poe Dameron (PS8)

  • Push the Limit
  • BB-8
  • Integrated Astromech
  • Primed Thrusters
  • Black One

Total: 38

If you have the points spare you can upgrade to PS9 or swap Integrated Astromech for Autothrusters but as long as you are able to set up a consistent barrel-roll action each turn he's a very versatile pilot in this set-up, whilst still being cheap enough to include a couple of other decent ships or a fat Han/Rey build.

So my 2 peak builds for Poe are now:

PS9 Poe

Intensity

BB-8

Primed Thrusters

AT

Black One

and

PS9 Poe

VI

Flight-Assist Astro

Advanced Optics

AT

Black One

But honestly, I can't decide which would be stronger.

Poetensity can pull reds or whites with repositioning and his focus, while on a green he can get his focus, and either double reposition or reposition/TL.

Poeptics (Poptics?) will ALWAYS have his focus, even if he can't pull a boost/barrel roll. He will not have repositioning on reds, but he can get double reposition or reposition/TL on greens AND whites. Plus he can stymie the highest PS alpha strikes.

Now that I think about it, Poptics is probably my preferred option. Though switching VI for that Daredevil build would be a whirlwind of fun!
