'Murica

By Hazack, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to make a Triple T-70 squad. Only later did I realize such a good name for the squad since i had Red Ace, Blue Ace, and Poe.

'Murica ( 100 )

Poe Dameron — T-70 X-Wing 31
Veteran Instincts 1
BB-8 2
Advanced Optics 2
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 36
"Red Ace" — T-70 X-Wing 29
R2-D2 4
Primed Thrusters 1
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 34
"Blue Ace" — T-70 X-Wing 27
R3 Astromech 2
Primed Thrusters 1
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 30

R3 Astromech is just bad. Possibly the worst card in the game. Swap for, well, literally anything . Flight Assist Astromech is probably the best there. I feel like Primed Thtrusters isn't that important on Red Ace, so that'd free up a grand total of 2 points. If you dropped Poe to Trick Shot or Adaptability, that'd be Comm Relay on Red Ace, which is great there.

Poe ([Trick Shot or Adaptability], BB-8, Advanced Optics, IA) 35

Red Ace (R2-D2, Comm Relay, IA) 36

Blue Ace (FAA, Primed Thrusters, IA) 29

Poe lost a little PS (and maybe gained an attack die in some situations, which BB-8 is pretty reasonable at setting up), but Red Ace got a lot tankier, and Blue Ace got more nimble.

@theBitterFig 's suggestions are pretty sound.

  • Red Ace is expensive because an ability which spawns evade tokens is very powerful, but you really, really want comm relay to make the most of it.
  • Blue Ace wants either an action free boost or action-free dice modification. That 90' boost is incredibly powerful with Flight Assist astromech, because you can turn away from your target then use a free boost to line up again and still focus.
  • I'd take Adaptability on Poe. PS9 could make a huge difference, and Poe-with-BB8 is basically being bought for the manoeuvrability.
