Between a Rock and a hard place

By Bennewbon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello all,

I am in need of some help with a list that I am running at the moment with very mixed success. I took the following list to a tournament in the very south of Western Australia and came third, my only loss against one of the best players in Western Australia, who came 4th over all. I was very lucky as I came up against a lot of low agility ships and brought them down fast, however against agile lists, my current list really struggles. With out further a do, here is the list:

Luke (X-Wing)
R2 droid
S-foils

Garven Dreis (ARC 170)
Perceptive co-pilot
Elusive

Shara Bey (ARC 170)
R3 Droid
Saw Gerrera
Elusive

Total of 199 points.

I use Luke and Garven to strip shields while Shara clears up with a few crits. Fairly simple stuff, but against maneuverable ships, I am just completely at a loss. I try and get the blocks, but even if I do, I rarely have enough firepower to make it count. Admittedly I am playing against, Marek, Rexler and shuttle or Boba and Guri mainly but even so I should be able to get some damage off. Because of this, I am thinking of using this list instead.


Luke (X-Wing)
Instinctive aim
R2 Droid
S-Foils
Proton torpedos

Shara Bey (ARC 170)
Intimidation
Saw Gerrara
R3 Droid
Shield upgrade

Garven Dreis (X-Wing)
R3 Droid
S-Foils

I am thinking this list gives me a little more maneuverability as well as making people think twice about blocking Shara/Making the blocks I get with her better. The extra shield means she can Saw once more in the game too.

Thoughts? I have only been playing since v2.0 release so all help would be massively appreciated!!

I can't help but think that regen on a list that is struggling against aces is not a great choice. You want to keep the heat on, turn after turn. I don't mind the rest of it though!

drop everything on the x-wings except for the torpredoes, shara is not fast enough to make sure you are blocking with her being a ps4, with the remaining points get a 40 or less points 4th ship like arvyl or sabine on shuttle so they help you block and focus fire with everyone else
