Dream Wedge

By TheHumanHydra, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So my dream Wedge was always able to double-reposition like Soontir. Now he can. What do you think of this list to surround that build?

Saw's ability seems good with that Wedge build. I put a sort of buzzsaw package on Saw. Kullbee's all I had points for. Arc-dodging isn't so effective on a PS 7, though. I'm open to suggestions as to Saw's build and the third ship (a non-Transport X-wing would be in keeping with what I hope to have access to).

I poked around my squad builder trying to find something comparable for 27/26 points and I'm stumped. Given the stipulation of no pilots from the transport pack I think Kulbee is an excellent choice, doubly so if looking for self stress to go with Saw. I would really want to get one more point for an Operation Specialist instead of Rex though...

The stress-bot builds for so nicely in that 26-point slot, but rebel transport -_-

Strategy wise I think the high mobility means that Saw's bonus is going to be more of a take-it-when-you-can benefit rather than something you want to count on getting. But large base boost and r1-2 does cover a lot of mat so it might be more reliable than I think!

Thanks, good advice. I'll keep the stress Y in mind in case I ever pick up (or borrow) a Y-wing. I'll already have to proxy the R2s, so I could always proxy R3-A2. It does indeed make far too much sense in this list!

I see what you mean about Ops Spec ...

Buy the transport

If only! It's not in the works at the moment.

Is this Kullbee better or worse than before?

Wouldn’t this be more reasonable for Wedge? It’s still double reposition if you have no ship in arc and dor a tad cheaper too.

Yeah, it's definitely more reasonable. I've just always really wanted to do a build like this one!

Here is a suggestion:

Saw

Wired

Hera

Ezra

Collision Detector

Refit

Title

Hull and Shield Upgrade

Wedge and Kulbee

PTL

R2 Astro

Refit

S-Foils

EU

They both can reposition as they need, Saw providing rerolls. Saw hits hard AF if he can bank the stress tokens by castling at the start.
