Not Renegades, Rogues

By Tailsgod, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Renegade R o g u e s (96)

Wedge Antilles ( 34)

  • X-Wing (T-65)
    • Expertise (4)
    • R7-T1 (3)
    • Renegade Refit (-2)
    • Integrated Astromech (0)
    • Servomotor S-foils (0)

Wes Janson (30)

  • X-Wing (T-65)
    • Veteran Instincts (1)
    • R3-A2 (2)
    • Renegade Refit (-2)
    • Integrated Astromech (0)
    • Servomotor S-foils (0)

Luke Skywalker (32)

  • X-Wing (T-65)
    • Lone Wolf (2)
    • R2-D2 (4)
    • Renegade Refit (-2)
    • Integrated Astromech (0)
    • Servomotor S-foils (0)

Alternatively I could also see a PTL Wedge with a BB-8 instead but I'm unsure, what do you guys think?? Expert Wedge or PTL Wedge?
I also may do a Predator Wes Instead. I chose Lone Wolf Luke because of the survivability that he has with that card and with Wedge and Wes sticking closer together whenever I fly with Luke flying off on his own

side note note I would really love if anyone can refit the renegade card to be a rouge refit card :P

You aren't applying the -1 to EPTs provided by Renegade Refit, so you're actually at 93 points.

Luke could switch out for Engine Boost + Autothrusters (putting you at 100 points) if you REALLY wanted Luke to be unkillable, but that costs you the initiative bid unless you reduce Wedge's cost (PTL+BB8 or something else). Alternatively going for PTL+BB8/FAA with EU+AT can work to give you a small initiative bid, keep the ability to boost + barrel roll, and trade Talon Rolls for extra survivability (especially vs. TLTs).

You lose integrated astromech as well, though, which is nasty as it's essentially -1 shield.

You could swap s-foils for a shield upgrade, which does make him tougher, but you lose talon rolls, and the 'oh, bugger, run!' option to do a 2-bank/boost and still recover a shield.

I might seriously consider a predator wedge. Yes, less modifiers but you can get modifiers after a talon roll or K-turn (or external stress). You'd then be doing focus actions rather than locking, so R5-P9 becomes an option for a second regen-capable X-wing....

Honestly it may just be worth it and I think I'm going to try flying it but a Predator Wedge and Predator Wes with a Lone Wolf Luke. That way both Luke and Wedge have regen and a bit more versatility in game than expert wedge because I don't need to take the target lock or focus to give him versatility. I think the only thing that may work better is a bb-8 ptl wedge but I'll try predator wedge first and see how that goes

Not meaning to do a double post, so while it definitely needs testing against real people, I've been using fly casual to test out the list and my god the best way is definitely
Luke with LW
Wedge with Predator and
Wes with VI.

Luke flies off on his own to take on tanks and then flies off and recharges when he gets hit too hard
Meanwhile Wedge and Wes deal with any aces on the board with insane consistency.
The servos really help Xs gain more board control and flee when necessary.
Being able to switch at beginning of activation helps better manage situations as they come up.
Multiple times did i retreat with them and close the wings to boost away or open them when flying by to use that ever amazing t-roll in tight spots

I'm not a big fan of LW in 3 ships lists - seems way too rare to proc. I would suggest:

Wes

Refit

S-Foils

Shield Upgrade

VI

FAA

Wedge

Refit

S-Foils

Shield Upgrade

Expertise

FAA

Luke

Refit

S-Foils

IA

Expertise

FAA

Someone could get R2-D2 or BB-8, but you'd be surprised just how reliable FAA can be
