Hello fellow pilots!

So my two favourite pilots in the game are Poe and Wedge, and I’m always trying to put the two of them together in a list. I came up with this recently, and thought I’d ask the community for their input/suggestions.

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)

Veteran Instincts (1)

R2-D2 (4)

Black One (1)

Advanced Optics (2)

Autothrusters (2)

Wedge Antilles (29)

Veteran Instincts (1)

BB-8 (2)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Fenn Rau (20)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Flight assisted Astromech (1)

Rey (2)

Total: 99 Points

my thinking was that if they are all at PS11 they should be moving last, and can all use their barrel rolls or boosts to get into good position. Fenn can feed them actions if need be, and use his ability to help them defensively. Poe is very tanky with R2 and BB8 gives Wedge some much needed maneuverability. Rey is there to help give Fenn mods when he’s using his action to co-ordinate.

Would love to hear some feedback and suggestions! Thanks everyone!

If you are just looking for mobility for wedge you could save a point for Flight Assist if you want it. I played a game this week at my FLGS, and found myself totally wishing I had that on Janson. As soon as those release, I am going to be playing so much more T-65. The opportunity to get a free barrel roll or boost after you move and hopefully hit something is amazing. I had probably 4 or 5 situations in one game where I would have had a crushing shot with that ability.

BB-8 of course is awesome and always a super choice, just tossing the idea out there! List looks pretty cool!

Best,

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with FAA on Wedge rather than BB-8. Much stronger given his limited greens.

In fact, I like the idea of putting FAA on Poe too; gives him some **** of action economy.

With Fenn, I like the idea of supporting the other 2, but I have a suggestion for a way to increase that:

Give him Weapons Engineer and M9-G8 so he can provide rerolls to the other 2. They would basically be completely free to move and focus and they please, while Fenn can still do his thing, and draws fire effectively. He can then also equip the Ray Shield for a bit of regen.

A light went "ding" in my head when I read this. I already have a Wes/Wedge/Poe list, but this might be better. I would encourage people to go with BB-8 instead of R2-D2 to keep Poe on target and hitting hard. I'm coming around to dancing Poe being better. I don't know if Poe needs to be PS11, but there are points to make happen and can give Black One use insurance. I want to put Pulsed Ray Shield on Fenn, but that actively combats his ability, since the white 1-forward from being Ioned won't clear the stress.

I see a bunch of potential crew for Fenn:

Weapons Engineer - Buff Poe/Wedge, debuff two incoming attacks, one of which can be robbed of token mods. Oh, I'm sorry, Quickdraw, but your revenge shot isn't very scary now.
Chewbacca - It's been shown on a HWK that Chewie can make an otherwise weak HP ship pretty tanky
Operations Specialist - Fenn is going to miss a lot, which can lead to focus token stacks on Poe or Wedge, depending on who is drawing fire
Hotshot Co-Pilot - Strip the focus from one ship on the attack, freeze the tokens on another ship in arc with Fenn's ability
Kyle Katarn - Use your ability with the knowledge that you'll get a free focus next turn

I think I like the Weapons Engineer most, since that will likely have the most positive impact, especially as a debuff on incoming shots. No tokens and re-roll 1 hit/crit? Niiiice. Good luck getting your target locks to do anything against this list.

Thanks guys, these suggestions are awesome! Definitely looking forward for the phantom to come out so I can get it on the table!

I’ve been very succesfull with QD,Vader, Kestal. When I saw this thread, I figured Rebells can do it to. But with more tricks upp their sleeves.
