Shara Bey with Missile Z-95s

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

Who here has tried something like this idea before? It seems like it could actually work really well - and you get to fly FIVE Rebels ships!

WOW! The idea must be pretty sound.

So:

1) Trick Shot instead of VI .

2) Bodhi Rook instead of Weapons Engineer.

3) PS 2 Bandits instead of Ps 4 Talas

4) Scaled-Down Fenn Rau instead of Captain Rex.

Why don’t you post this in the squad building section?

@Javelin has a thread going for his process of refining his HARCpoon list. Made a great showing at the Portland system open!

Sorry guys, I forgot the main forum is only for whining, wacky ideas, and podcast ads.

Effing A. Exactly.

Black One Poe and Countermeasures say hi. The idea was sound, but now there are too many anti-TL ships in the meta. You're looking at auto-wins and auto-losses, sadly. Add to that the fact that most lists that can't strip your TL can kill 1 or 2 of your Bandits before they shoot, rendering your list awkwardly worthless.

I think Poetensity with Targeting synchroniser, paired with 2 harpoon Z-95s and a stressbot is the best option for this kind of list in 100/6. If they attack Poe in the long range joust he laughs. If they attack the Z-95s the Y-wing ruins them for several turns. If they attack the Y-wing then the Z-95s launch a very painful pair of missiles. When all is said and done, in the endgame you have a 43 point fortress moving at PS 9 with double repositioning, rather than single action Shara.

Poetensity, as in BB-8? Because that's the only way I can get a Focus and TL with Intensity? Would PTL + R2D2 be nuts?

That's the one.I think PTL + R2D2 throws you to the slaughter against stress-dealing lists like Asajj.

I know that with so much HotShot Co-Pilot flying around these days this might not be the best time for a list like this, but barring that what do you think of this? Norra + Rey and Shara means Norra can have two TLs per turn and two focus tokens, all stress-free (@ficklegreendice). That's some nice offense and defense. Also, the flexibility for the Z's to use Shara's PS 8 TL as an alternative (or for initial engagement preferably) is nice.

PS 2 Harpoons sucks, but if it draws agro off of Norra and helps her survive to endgame that's fantastic.
