Rac and quickdraw for a system opend

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey folks

Going to a system opend with an old favorite of mine

Rac

Vi, Rebel captive, Gunner, Kylo , EU

Quickdraw

Vi, FCS, Titel, LWF, and Adv optics / Or Sensor cluster, What do you think is the best option in this meta? Its nice to have the focus for offece and defence , but beeing abel to get a blank to a evade via focus i allso a good choise.

and last but not least, Is a 2 point bid enough?

IMO Hotshot Copilot, Gunner and Kylo/Rebel Captive is better than Gunner/Kylo/rebel Captive.

And I run Pattern Analyzer in my Systems slot, in my RAC/Quickdraw list. But it is up to personal taste.

In the current meta RAC/Quickdraw has a tough fight against Kanan(Ghost)/Fenn - but is very strong a lot of other lists.

I second the HotCop/Gunner/Kylo/VI build. It is wild.

I would also run PA.

For RAC, mostly for Kylo's sake, I would absolutely run dauntless and plan to bump ships to minimize shots you're taking without losing any of your action economy. The tech slot on QD I believe depends more on her other upgrades and your personal playstyle. Sensor cluster is a great defensive tool and guarantees that you'll have at least 1 evade, hopefully protecting a shield token to get multiple uses out of her ability. Advanced optics is fine for general use, but with the increasing amount of HSCP most areas are seeing, having that focus token won't often last more than a single combat anyway and you're likely going to be taking a focus for your action most turns. PA is really only good when you plan on using the red on your dial, but can be great to give you the option to sloop into a close range shot and still get a focus token or barrel roll to safety. Personally, I'm used to flying expertise on QD lately and don't use the red maneuvers except in rare "gotcha" moments when I know it'll surprise my opponent, and I pair that with sensor cluster because I've got my offense covered and SC is the best defensive option. Ultimately, you just need to pick what fits your playstyle best and practice, practice, practice.

I'd honestly prefer Palp/Kylo to either of the above. One of the most crucial things with QD is keeping her shield loss minimal, Palp can help a lot with that. Plus, gives you one more point to spend.

Hotshot Gunner is awesome, but it goes better with other wingmates, in particular, if you can wangle someone with Juke - Vader or Rexler, perhaps.
