I have been flying fenn rau and 2 vipers (Thweek and Guri), and was realy happy to see the three viper list do well, it gives me hope that my list has a chance against some of the current Meta (if i practice it enough)

In your list, who gets Virago?

Thweek it gives him FCS so i have the potential to get modded shots and reposition if i can get him hunting a target down.

Full list is

Fenn Rau (Push the limit, Concord Dawn Protector, Autothrusters) 34

Thweek (Starviper mkii, Autothrusters, Virago, Fire Control System, Glitterstim) 32

Guri (Push the limit, Starviper mkii, Autothrusters) 32

Gives me 2 point bid for thweek (though have been experimenting with dropping the glitterstim for a 4pt bid)

Okay, cool. When I've considered running more than one Starviper in a list I've always gotten caught up in who should get Virago. I may have to try this configuration, if you don't mind?

Go for it, i make no guarantee that its good ?

Its been ok for me and if i can get into range 1 can be hard to skake off as they are so good at staying onyou, while outputting some decent damage. Bombs are a worry but you need to burn down those bomb carriers fast.

I just wish i got more game time in... I generaly get one xwing night a month (2 games) and a Local game store kit event every other month.

Let me know how it goes......

Love that list! Came up with a similar one (without glitterstim) and I am looking forward to try it, hopefully tomorrow

Anything on the old stream-o-rama this weekend?

Copenhagen System Open is this weekend.
Firstearth on twitch should be streaming it.

As for Regionals, Finland Regionals this weekend, but no stream.

I don't have the rest of the lists yet, but this beauty has gone 6-0 to win Zaragoza's (Spain, 64 players) swiss.

Boba: Fearlessness, Cluster Missiles, Chips, K4, Glitterstim, Extra Ammo
Kathn: Fearlessness, Cluster Missiles, Chips, Dengar, Glitterstim

Then, he dropped because we are not worthy*.

*And he couldn't play tomorrow, family things.

I swear this always seem to happen.

Players who know they can’t make day 2 are more likely to take a go big or go home list I guess, so it makes sense.

Makes you wonder if he used the Boba Re-rolls and Fearlessness twice on those cluster missiles. :D

Since they're two separate attacks (that just happen to loop around the timing chart before hitting step 8), he should.

Almost that exact list with harpoons instead of cluster made Top 16 at the first system open. More people should try it. Its fun. Lots of ways to make Ghost/Fenn sad.

Double scum firesprays was the best list I ever made...back in wave 6. Possibly the funnest list as well at the time.

I would never run it again though. It's great in the right matchups, and horrible in the wrong ones.

I still love the firespray for all its flaws but I prefer to run a single one with 2-3 other ships with it.

RAC (VI, Kylo, Palp, EU, Ion?) and Inq (PTL, Prockets, Title, AT) beats a version of Kanaan Fenn in Fargo (50 players).

Rey/Nym won Tennessee regional. Faced Lothal/Fenn in semis and final, both matches ended in under 20 minutes.

Vancouver regionals checking in before the top 16 starts.

111 players total.

  • 1st - Calen Wong - Yorr, Inquisitor, Ryad
  • 2nd - Chris Norris - Fenn Rau, Lothal Rebel + Zeb
  • 3rd - JP Mawet - Nym, Miranda
  • 4th - Shaun White - Torani, Jostero, Nym
  • 5th - Matt Lee - PS9 Poe, Lowhhrik, Jess
  • 6th - Andrew Bunn - Yorr, Inquisitor, QD
  • 7th - Andrew Lauritzen - Vessery, QD, Nu
  • 8th - Matt Larose - Asajj, Thweek, Jakku Gunrunner

  • 14th - Carson Sawatsky - QD, Vessery, Delta
  • 15th - Brendan Rae - Inquisitor, Vessery, QD
  • 16th - David Tam - Lowhhrik, Wookiee Liberatorx2

Yep, a Kimogila and a Quadjumper made top 16.

This is incredible. After a quick look, it doesn’t look like there is a single repeat list.

At least Canada is still sane.

Kanan/Fenn seems to be proving beatable, no?

I think there were only a handful of Kanan/Fenn lists in the whole regional.

I think it was for some. There were those saying it simply replaced Nymiranda.

As a widely adopted NPE absolutely. Its not really on Nymiranda's power level though since it doesnt have the alpha strike, regen, and bomb potential in addition to the 4x TLT.

^That's what I'm getting at. It's not meta breaking. It is a horrendous play experience and to me represents everything wrong with the games design - 1 ship lists that excel by simplifying the game - BUT it hasn't broken things.

Vancouver seems to have a lot list build against Ghost-Fenn.

Let me guess: Andrew Bunn - Yorr, Inquisitor, QD was running with Expertise, right?
