The mountain you die on

By Wiredin, in X-Wing

I always come back to T65 X-Wings, but (probably due to using them so much) I've actually had a lot of success with them, probably on about 2/3rds wins with treble T65 lists. My best success though was at an escalation tournament where I came 2nd, starting with Luke and Biggs at 60pts, then escalating with Wedge, Garven and finally Porkins when we got to 150.

However the ship I have tried the hardest with is Imperial Kath Scarlet. I've been using her with Slave 1, Extra Munitions, Ion Torpedoes, Guidance chips, Ion Bombs, Mangler Cannon and Rebel Captive, with only the EPT changing between games (so far used Snap Shot, Calculation and Adaptability). Took her to 2 small tournaments and won 3 out of 6 games pairing her with Kylo Ren (Upsilon) but it was always a struggle and when I lost it was usually badly. Tried her with Rexlar Brath in my last game and lost although my opponent was down to a single hit point on his last ship so couldn't have been closer, so I have a feeling Rexlar could become part of the mountain for a while!

For Scum its the Kihraxz, specifically Talonbane, but I haven't used them much yet so it's more of a small hill than a mountain at the stage. The YV666 is another one I haven't got the best out of yet.

My Mountain is Serissu and/or Scum Ion Warthog Y-wings. I did well at a tournament pre nerf with Serissu, Fen, and Manaroo. I try my best to put one of those two in a list.

Dash Rendar. Fell in love with the ship and pilot the first day I flew it alongside two Rookie pilots.

Turns out I picked a pretty good mountain.

3 Scum HWKs w/a full ion loadout.

Jake, A-Wings, Snap, Outmaneuver

Oh the good times when ps9 was enough to arc dodge!

The honorable mention goes to Kir Kanos, Tetran Cowell and Turr Phenir.

Generally: boost+roll is what I‘m here for.

Any way to remove the stress during the combat phase between shots?

Emon (and the other Firesprays to a lesser degree) is my spirit animal. No matter how's the meta, how big the tournament is (hello Opens and Euros) or what new toy I may be in love, sooner or later I'm always going back to him.

I love the U-Wing. I've gone 3/2 in a tournament with it and Rey. The Cassian build I fly is actually "concerning" to a lot of opponents, which is hilarious. Someone else posted it first... but it's expert handling, experimental interface, title, adv.sensors, kyle kartan, and inspiring recruit. Nothing says fun like a 3 focus barrel rolling U-Wing!

EDIT: got it! It's great!

...although, honestly, basically any generic Imperial. The TIE Interceptor was one of my favorites from way back as a kid (one of the few models I had), but 5 of those in a list? Nope. NopeNopeNopeNopeNope

It seems like any rebel list. I’ll get some traction, currently Snap/Jess/Nora, but they all have one thing in common: has to be precisely flown.

Also, Firespray.

I'll be Flying Carnor Jax till....well...Lets just say I don't plan on stopping anytime soon

Sadly no, as the list currently stands Dace is stuck doing his thing once per round.

4-LOM

Add me to the list of T65 X-Wings. They don’t allow you to make mistakes, and unfortunately I make many. Still, I keep flying them.

Pretty much all my lists; I suck and I don't play Meta Tourney so I just play new stuff, fun things, things I like that show off new repaints, etc...

Garven, Tarn, Hobbie, Airen.
Garven, Jake, Kyle, Bandit.
Kavil, Palob, Zx2.
Soontir, Royal, Deathrain.
Zuckuss, 4-LOM, Palob.
x2 Nu, x4 Academy.
Crimson Specialist, x2 Red Vets.
...and many more!

Maul

Man mine is fat sf backdraft with lwf, title, expertise, sensor cluster, and fcs or collision detector to taste. Surprisingly Tanky esp with Kylo Ren shuttle and hux providing focus all the time.

Sadly the list is 1 point short of fitting Maul.

I love my Y-Wings (without TLT).
