Poe / Wookie / Fenn

By dsul413, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Good morning everyone,

I'm getting ready to pick a list for regionals, and I've had some practice with Poe/Fenn and would like to carry that over, unless something else really piques my interest. Looking at an addition to the list, I thought a wookie would be the easiest relevant wingman to fit into the list, and came up with the options below. I had a crimson specialist in as the wingman previously, but I'm not comfortable enough with bombs to take it to a tournament right now. I'm open for non-wookie wingmen though, if you have an idea for a list change that isn't based on these wingmen.

List 1: Normal-ish

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Veteran Instincts (1)
R2-D2 (4)
Advanced Optics (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Lowhhrick (28)
Selflessness (1)
Wookiee Commandos (1)

Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Weapons Engineer (3)
M9-G8 (3)

Total: 100

Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks!

I’ve replaced rage with wired on Ezra, but otherwise I feel like this is the best version of Poe with any shuttle.

I like my U-wing has a wingman and had a fair success against my friend scum aces and was thinking to go to my first store tournament with this:

Poe Dameron 11 (33)

VI

Advanced Optics

BB8

Auto Thrusters

(40)

Fen Rau 9 (20)

Decoy

M9-G8

(25)

Cassian Andor 6 (27)

SnapShot

Maul

Ezra

Pivot Wing

(35)

Here with a target lock on the enemy ship you wish to fire upon you almost always get every dice a hit, spend the target lock to reroll blanks, if you got any blanks reroll again with maul while getting a stress, if you have a focus you can then change into a crit with ezra and thats, a 3/4 damage on the ennemy ship if it has bad rolls

Poe do Poe things

Nathan Eide is currently playing in a T16 match in chicago with this list:

You could split the difference and take a Rage Lowhhrick. Rage, Inspiring Recruit x2, Experimental Interface. It's the same 34 points as the Selflessness/Rey/C-3PO version, and could easily slot into List #2, but I might then I might swap Fenn's crew a bit (maybe not!). You'll still be able to toss an evade result with Lowhh's reinforce, but he'll also hit like a truck, so will probably hold more aggro. Wookiees and Poe both match greens, too.

I should add, stacking lots of Inspiring Recruits is a strong counterplay to stress mechanics. You might have to stop Raging, but you can easily clear 3 stress from Poe each turn...

On the last list you can change Poe to PS8 base with VI and save a point for the same PS. You could then take that point and turn Fenn up to 11 with VI.

So, I like the list focus, especially with Low.

I think that your Poe is best at PS 11, though if you need the points, you could use PS 8 Poe with VI for PS 10 cheap.

I think Fenn is at his strongest with M9/WE, and Wired, by my choice. That leaves you room for Low with Rey, DTF, and your choice of crew/mods. I think Tactician would be best.

That's a list with some nice control, some respectable damage, and a lot of toughness to eat through.
