breaking away from my usual

By Wiredin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm hitting a slump, so changing up my play style (A-Wings!) but having issues building lists I find I'd enjoy...

I have never flown an ARC or a Wookie... but I feel like this maybe have decent? Problem is Harpoon missiles as this squad will want to for sure stay at R1 of itself at all times.

I'm a huge fan of the U-Wing...even tho it sucks. I flew this last week for 2 reps and I did pretty good with it. This Cassian is not a build I created, but it's actually really, really good. Probably the best build I've seen for him. Often I was ending the activation phase with 0 stress, and 2-3 focus tokens depending on if I need to take a target lock or not. I really want to fit in Scavanager crane for Rey however as missiles are a thing and shredding locks are important. I'm just not sure if it's worth loosing Expertise for....

I'm not an imperial player. I've dabbled a bit, but really I fly rebels more than anything... but since my main rebel fighter is the A-wing I thought why not give them a shot. Does this seem good? Or am I out to lunch?

and every-time I build a scum list I feel like I'm copying everyone in the local group, so I just pass.

Looks good, do it

I might drop PTL to VI on Vynder, and throw in Prockets to close the hole.

I think that is definitely the strongest list you put up. While that Cassian is fun AF, I don't know how competitive he is.

The first rebels list is interesting. I am not a fan of the Auzi, I admit. However, with Expertise and M9 Reroll, it becomes more appealing. I might alter Norra though:

Title, R2-D2, Rey, VI/PTL, maybe VT. Really frees up her actions/dial.

the theory between PTL is that I can get 3 actions a turn with slam/focus/TL allowing me to keep the disabled token for the extra green die, and still get missiles off every turn. That being said, I do agree, VI could really be useful. Then with prockets still need focus/target lock as you need the TL to shoot with the weapons disabled token, and you need focus to actually fire them. So I don't think Prockets will work...

The Cassian list is fun AF, I took down an Assaj/Guri/Thweak with it, but he flew like crap. I almost had a Talonbane/Fenn/Guri list with it, but I misjudged with Rey, didn't get the bump I wanted, and got annihilated with fully modded R1 shots from Fenn/Talon. but I had 1 hull left on each of them. So it's okay... but I need to trial it more.
