So our local meta has been completely invaded by wookies from what I've seen.

I've been out of the scene for the last 4 months unfortunately, but I'm jumping back in, finally done with a work assignment.

So at a local tournament with 8 players last night, there were 11 wookie gunships.

There's people flying 3 of them with tactician, 4 of them with commandos, or 2 and a heavy hitter.

I'm curious if this is the result of one player having a lot of success with them and it catching on, or if this is everywhere right now.

thanks,

Missile/gunboats and bombers are starting to outdo this Meta, but they're still floating around. They were the big thing at Regionals and pretty much before the most recent wave were in every tournament top 5 (usually mutiple).

Interesting. So the 3 gunboats with QD/something else seems to be taking them down?

I tried a gunboat for the first time last night. It was fun, but I flew it poorly.

Unfortunately, the harpoon kept hitting my own ships when the target died, which is costly when flying an imperial ace.

Yes 3 gun boats and QD, or 2 Rho Boats and Kylo (or another ace).....also sad to say it but it should be included. The rebel Nym and Miranda build is pretty stupid powerful.

The Nym Mirranda looks ridiculous. I haven't been able to fly against it yet, but I am wanting some practice. Inevitably, that will be all over the place.

Wookiees are going to be a presence for a long time, I think. However, if you stress them or otherwise deny them their reinforce, they can melt quickly.
