What would you hope to be flying?

What would you not want to be flying?

Trying to tune up lists for store champs and this is an option!

(98)

Partisan Renegade (25) - U-Wing
Thrust Corrector (1), Renegade Refit (-2), Courier Droid (0), •Saw Gerrera (1), Pivot Wing (0), Tactical Jammer (1), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Partisan Renegade (25) - U-Wing
Thrust Corrector (1), Renegade Refit (-2), Courier Droid (0), Rey (2), Pivot Wing (0), Ion Projector (2)

•Poe Dameron (48) - T-70 X-Wing
Veteran Instincts (1), Ion Torpedoes (5), •R2-D2 (4), Advanced Optics (2), •Black One (1), Autothrusters (2)

With all the reapers, i wouldnt risk Poe if you want to do better then 2-2. You will probably face a reaper in 2 of your 4 or 5 swiss matches.

Maybe a BB8 intensity Poe so you can be jammed, then barrel roll for an evade, remove the jam token, then move and focus. Then poe can pay off intensity with his focus.

So yeah, i would like reapers across from this list.

I would want to be flying Dash, which I do a lot. Those U-wings are going to have to go around the rocks, and Dash will Whittle Poe down to nothing alongside his Wingman before the U-wings even have a chance.

It's really not possible anymore to rely on tokens at all for anything, so it's best to pay for the cards that stop you needing them.

I do think dash is better than even odds, but not auto win. These U-wings look like they are meant mainly to block, and if I was flying them I wouldn't hesitate to throw one over a rock to block 60%-80% of Dash's available moves while setting up the other U and Poe to take advantage, probably at r1.

To be fair in my objection I would also want what I'm most comfortable with, which is Leebo ?

As far as changes I would make to this list, I'd go alpha-blocker on both U's by dropping off their crew, tac Jammer, Thrust Corrector to get Enhanced Scopes, APL, and Ion Projector on both of them.

Tactically (whether you make those changes or not) I would not hesitate to dial a bump or over a rock if it has a good chance of blocking a maneuver, then dial Poe to where he can shoot at the blocked position or boost to shoot at the most likely unblocked positions (which are pretty limited when talking large base blocking)

Dash's wingman in this meta is a beefy large base ship, namely a VCX-100 or a YT-1300, probably with Maul/Ezra. Either of them are more than capable of running guard for Dash, guaranteeing him his actions and R2-3 shots. In addition, any Dash player worth his salt will have two turns of shots on the U-wings before you can get in any kind of blocking position, which means shields down at the bare minimum.

Reapers are a LOT scarier than U-wings to Dash because of their speed and ability to easily move through rock clusters, along with ISB slicer jam shenanigans. Two Reapers and Kylo as the imperial equivalent of the OP's list is just all round better.
