U hold them, We'll hit them.

By Avactus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Was fiddling around today and came up with a fun looking list I'll probably give a through shake once wave XIV hits. As I am coming back from a multi-year break (did waves 1-10ish got burnt hard by the Jump Master bs on release took a break till just now) would love some feedback as I'm still pretty rusty.

Wedge Antilles (30) PS - 11
X-Wing (29), Veteran Instincts (1)(-1 due to refit), Flight Assist Astromech (1), Renegade Refit (-2), Integrated Astromech (0), Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Corran Horn (40) PS - 8
E-Wing (35), Fire-Control System (2), Intensity (2), Flight Assist Astromech (1)

Heff Tobber (30) PS - 3 (Acts on 0)
U-Wing (24), Enhanced Scopes (1), Renegade Refit (-2), Saboteur (2), Intelligence Agent (1), Pivot Wing (0), Ion Projector (2), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

100 points

The plan is to have Heff bump for all he's worth, he'll activate the IP and APL's obviously and then when possible he'll also activate the Saboteur making more trouble. While Wedge and Corran go to town on the bumped ships. Wedge keeping up more sustained first while Corran bursts with his double attack intensity giving him focus for the first attack and FCS target lock for the second before having to reset.

Wedge is 28 (down to 27 from refit, VI is free, FAA is 1 = 28)

Scopes are basically necessary. How many Ps 1/2s are you planning to run into?

Saboteur is one of the worst upgrades in the same, tied with r3 astromech. Don't bother

Int agent is great, but it doesn't do anything with Heff. Knowing where your opponent is going is meaningless if you can't course-correct to respond.

So, Scopes + Int Agent = Cassian crew (always guess a maneuver that would allow your opponent to escape your block), Saboteur = Jyn (Heff's free action: feed mods to your friendlies, especially Corran's double-tap)

having both Apl and Ion Projector is over-indulgent. Despite your best efforts, blocking will always occur for a slim minority of all turns in the game. You'd be better off giving Wedge predator so you can more reliably kill things.

I'd change from Corran to Poe if I were you, or maybe Norra for another tank. I've always found Corran underwhelming. Heff, on the other hand, looks like a hoot, but I'd agree that Cassian is much better and IA, and Saboteur is terrible.
