Hey guys,

The only ships I don't have are Wookiee gunships and TLJ bombers (because I don't like either).

I want some fun builds to try over the next few weeks. No need to be top tier but I want to have a chance of winning!

Any suggestions welcome

If it's just casual, fun play, this is one of my favorites:

Resistance Sympathizer (38)
Luke Skywalker (7)
C-3PO (3)
Scavenger Crane (2)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
Countermeasures (3)
Millennium Falcon (TFA) (1)

Corran Horn (35)

"4x"

X-Wing: •Hobbie Klivian (27)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Targeting Astromech (2)

T-70 X-Wing: •Jess Pava (26)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Flight-Assist Astromech (1)

X-Wing: •Tarn Mison (25)

Integrated Astromech (0)

R7 Astromech (2)

X-Wing: Rookie Pilot (22)

Integrated Astromech (0)

R2 Astromech (1)

Total: 100/100

You get to bring 4 X-wings to the table and formation fly them. Jess is strong with rerolls from buddies. Tarn and Hobbie are paired with Astromechs that interact with their pilot abilities, and are really a lot of fun. Rookie just rounds out the list.

One of my favorite casual lists at the moment:

Luke Skywalker (28) w/ Veteran Instincts (1) , Flight-Assist Astromech (1) , Integrated Astromech (0)

Captain Rex (14)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) w/ Ion Cannon Turret (5) , Bomb Loadout (0) , Flight-Assist Astromech (1) , Proximity Mines (3) , Extra Munitions (2), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) w/ Ion Cannon Turret (5) , Bomb Loadout (0) , Flight-Assist Astromech (1) , Proximity Mines (3) , BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

I think I stole this Cassian from @wurms :

Cassian Andor (Advanced Sensors, Expert Handling, Experimental Interface, Kyle Katarn, Inspiring Recruit, title) 39 pts

I pair with Rey (Finn, Kanan Jarrus, HoR title, Expertise, Countermeasures), but if it's your style, a Dash can fit: Push the Limit, Kanan Jarrus, Heavy Laser Cannon, Outrider, Engine Upgrade. There'd be 3 points left for a Missile or Torpedo on someone (Seismic Torpedo sounds nice, actually...).

Be sure to play with Debris instead of Asteroids, since you really don't want to accidentally strand Cassian on a rock. Giving him extra stress isn't ideal, but you've got a lot of tools to work with it.

Anyhow, Cassian will use Advanced Sensors to Focus or TL into Expert Handling, then execute a green move and add two more focus tokens. If you use a White move and Kanan with Cassian, you'll clear stress but not get extra focus tokens. I think it's probably important to have Kanan as an option, however, for the flexibility. It's also worth being willing to dial in a red stall, and just focus before it. As strong as the combo can be, it's worth not using it sometimes.

I guess the Rey/Dash isn't super fun or creative, but you're also flying a U-Wing, so I think it balances out.

I ran this at a casual tourney and had some great fun with it. The ability to k-turn/1 hard turn with the b-wings while having focus from advanced sensors and reroll from linked battery makes them really fun and hit hard.

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Linked Battery (2)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

Red Squadron Veteran (33) - T-70 X-Wing
Intensity (2), Flight-Assist Astromech (1), Advanced Optics (2), Autothrusters (2)

•"Snap" Wexley (34) - T-70 X-Wing
Intensity (2), Flight-Assist Astromech (1), Primed Thrusters (1), Autothrusters (2)

I've been having fun using Ashoka's TIE with the EMP, and 2 K-Wings.

I think if you are looking for fun lists, I tend to find 3-4 ship ones are usually more interesting unless the 2 ship list has some unusual combinations or upgrades. Here are some of my favourites:

Braylen Stramm (25) - Tail Gunner (2), Flight Assist Astromech (1), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Tycho Celchu (26) – Rage (1), Daredevil (3), Proton Rockets (3), Experimental Interface (3), A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Keyan Farlander (29) - Stay On Target (2), Advanced Sensors (3), B-Wing/E2 (1), Intelligence Agent (1)

100pts

Three ships that can either clear their stress without relying on green moves or don't care about it very much, which means you can be a lot more flexible in how you fly them.

Sabine Wren (15) – Adaptability (0), Captured TIE (1) [OR: Captain Rex (14) – Sabine’s Masterpiece (1), Intelligence Agent (1)]

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) - Autoblaster Turret (2), Bomb Loadout (0), Extra Munitions (2), R5 Astromech (1), Proton Bombs (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) - Autoblaster Turret (2), Bomb Loadout (0), Extra Munitions (2), R5 Astromech (1), Proton Bombs (5)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18) - Autoblaster Turret (2), Bomb Loadout (0), Extra Munitions (2), R5 Astromech (1), Proton Bombs (5)

100pts

A bit more of a challenge to fly but lots of ways of inflicting auto-damage on the enemy balances it out. You can either take Sabine to make sure you can dodge your own bombs, or Rex (or Zeb) with Intelligence Agent to help you predict the best time to drop a bomb. R5 Astromech is there on all 3 Y-Wings so you don't have to worry so much about catching your own ships in the blast radius, allowing you to be a bit more aggressive with the bomb drops.

“Blue Ace” (27) - BB-8 (2), Primed Thrusters (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

“Snap” Wexley (28) - Intensity (2), Flight Assist Astromech (1), Primed Thrusters (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

“Red Ace” (29) - R2-D2 (4), Comm Relay (3), Autothrusters (2)

Total = 100pts

Three T-70's are amazingly fun to fly and @Estarriol 's list above is a good one. This is a slightly different variant as it trades tokens for more extreme manoeuvres (Blue Ace) and tankiness (Red Ace). I've used this Red Ace setup (or a similar one) a number of times and it has never come particularly close to being destroyed.

Finally, I know I said 3+ ship lists were more fun, but I think this is an interesting enough build to make it worth considering:

Ten Numb (31) - Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Sensors (3), Mangler Cannon (4), B-Wing/E2 (1), C-3PO (3)

Han Solo (original) (46) - Push the Limit (3), Kanan Jarrus (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Millennium Falcon (evade version) (1)

Total = 99pts

Han works almost as well using either version of him in this list. The Push/Kanan/Kyle combination means that one he gets going he can pick any white or green move on his dial and still end up with a focus token plus 2 other actions (as long as he doesn't bump or land on a rock), which again adds to his manoeuvrability a lot and makes the list more fun to use. Ten Numb would normally be a risky ship to use with him (and still is to a degree), but at least having C-3PO on board will mean he lasts a bit longer. If you wanted to, you could swap the Advanced Sensors for Sensor Jammer as the list has a point spare.

This is one of my all time favorites:

Shara Bey (28)
Trick Shot (0)
Weapons Engineer (3)
M9-G8 (3)

Esege Tuketu (28)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (1)
Recon Specialist (3)
Long-Range Scanners (0)

"Dutch" Vander (23)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
"Chopper" (Astromech) (1)
Guidance Chips (0)

Total: 100

Janky as **** with target locks fountaining all over the board and focus sharing. Your opponent's head will be spinning but so might yours. These PS 6 Rebels' rejects are greater than the some of their parts and pack a mean punch.
