The best "run right at them" list,what is it?

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

Is it swarm leader vessery and a pair of other x 7 defenders?

10 dice with target locks seems good.

I'll need a little bit of clarification on what you mean by "run right at them"

If you're talking just dice/power alone 4 Harpoon Gunboats can pack one heck of a punch and potentially come out with minor cuts and bruises.

Triple X7 Defenders are and always will be a good simple list that has good survivability and respectable damage output. 3 TIE/D defenders can throw a ton of dice on one target but melt extremely quickly.

And of course, you can't deny a good ol Crackswarm, while it may not have a super huge place in the meta today, it is still a lot of dice being thrown and a lot of bodies on the board that just want to charge the enemy.

2 Ghosts and a Y wing?

What do you have to fear, you're flying a darn brick. Three to be precise.

Asajj and Sabine in shadowcasters? They have about 2 turns of total immunity to attacks. Maybe Asajj and Ketsu for the tractor fun.

4 BTL Y-wings with TLTs can put out more dice than pretty much anything else.

3 Punishers with Proton Bombs and trajectory simulator (or rebel bomber equivalents) are pretty much unjoustable, given their extreme firepower.

Resistance Bombers x3
- Accuracy Corrector
- Proximity Mines
- Bomb tubes
33p each 36hp minimum 6 damage a turn and 9 proximity mines on the board.

5x Cruise Missile Taps

+

Keanu Reeves level matrix vision

5x TIE Strikers. 15 dice FTW.

4x Concord Dawn Ace + Concord Dawn Protector + Fearlessness.

Bbbbz, as always.

Oh wait, what, it's 2018 already? Then i have no idea!

Miranda + Lowhrick + Fenn(or Jess).

Any Rebel list with Lowhrick or Fenn to defend your heavy hitters.

Anything with Oicunn, Intimidate, title. Duh. If you’re flying right at them you better hit them!

Same with Arvyl and Zeb crew.

Your mistake: you asked the FFG message boards. To be safe, better ignore every answer.

While something like triple x7 Defenders is probably the best, my heart has a soft spot for a Rey and Lothal Rebel build. Run in with both and punch the enemy in the face. Either the enemy gets obliterated or you do.

I used to use

Jess w/swarm leader IA

GSP A-wings with Juke/Snap

Jan Ors with Dorsal/Nien Numb

there wasn't much I didn't kill on the first pass... including Dengar. Before Nym I had an 80% jousting win rate. :)

That list doesn’t sound like it’s very good.

why do you say that? it's actually pretty mean and very effective before the harpoons showed up. Jess throws 7 dice full y modded. A-wings chip away, and can get away with a few 3/4 die attacks with Jan as well. If I had a mantle... it would be full of one rounded dengars and one shot fens. :)

4 omicron lambdas and a scimitar squadron bomber. 46 total Hull

4 resistance bombers. 48 hp.

I've been loving triple Delta Squadron TIE/D with rainbow cannons (1 each Ion, Flechette, Tractor), with TIE Mk.II as well. Granted, it might be more of a fan out and killbox sort of list, but still.

I'm like 6-1 with them (first loss today in a tournament to a surprisingly effective AP-5 with Weapons Engineer/M9-G8, PS 1 Wookiee with C-3PO, Intensity Jake, and a nearly naked Riz Ahmed Bodhi Rook... his U-Wing was pretty much immune to my green dice... he took out 3 and 4 HP defenders *WITH FOCUS TOKENS*, last one with an exact-lethal Direct Hit after time expired to win on points...).

5 T-65 x-wings I hope hope I hope.

You know what...were afraid to run 8 tie fighters.

I'l bet they are actually fine.

4 black sun aces with glitterstim and fearlessness. There's literally no other strategy they should or could employ.

20 red dice, 4 of which are programmed hits, the rest with full mods.

Shame targeting scrambler is unique.

Well 8x2=16, that will Solo a ghost from range 2... assuming you hit.... and survive

Clearly it is 4× lambda shuttles with FCS and tacticians
