I guess I’m a sucker for Rebel Juke

By SpiderMana, in X-Wing Squad Lists

No clue how viable it all is, but after playing Wullffwarro with a Jyn/Juke combo I wanted to try it in more places.

ARC-170 Starfighter - •Norra Wexley - 69
•Norra Wexley - Gold Nine (55)
Juke (4)
Perceptive Copilot (10)

ARC-170 Starfighter - •Shara Bey - 70
•Shara Bey - Green Four (53)
Juke (4)
Perceptive Copilot (10)
R3 Astromech (3)

UT-60D U-wing - •Saw Gerrera - 61
•Saw Gerrera - Obsessive Outlaw (52)
Tactical Officer (2)
•Jyn Erso (2)
Contraband Cybernetics (5)
Pivot Wing (Closed) (0)

Total: 200/200

Norra and Shara both want to focus, trading their second tokens for evades so they can Juuuuuke. Saw can coordinate Shara for her TL, and if his pilot ability comes into play allows her a reroll so she’s got better odds when spending the TL for her pilot ability.

Probably fly Shara in front of Saw, map edge on one side, Norra flanking the other.

My main concern is Shara NEEDS both mods and without Saw she can't reliably get them...

That was something I was wondering about... but nothing much else is coming to mind for her? In 1e you could just fly Shara for Norra to use her TL...

Magva is my go-to

I'm trying to figure out what is hitting me as wrong about this list, and I guess it comes down to playstyle. The ARC-170 cries bank and blast to me and to gain the benefit of Juke they're leashed tightly to Saw. I can see this working but I can also see a well timed Ionization, Tractor beam boost, or a Jamming Beam royally screwing with this list and neutering it in a single attack. I'd be interested to hear how it flew. :)

That’s a valid point. I haven’t managed to fly ARCs with much luck in 2.0 yet? Can you elaborate on what you mean by bank and blast?

You have a U in the list and you didn't give it jUke!?!?

It is, and I'm being ABSOLUTELY serious here, the juke platform for rebels. How? Sensors, perceptive, jyn. You become basically a wonky defender, and those boys LOVE juke

Pulling this as a VERY rough draft:

jUke

(52) Saw Gerrera
(0) Pivot Wing
(8) Advanced Sensors
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(2) Jyn Erso
(4) Juke
Points 76

(48) Biggs Darklighter
Points 48

(48) Thane Kyrell
Points 48

(28) Sabine Wren TIE
Points 28

Total points: 200

Ey, I think it was you who suggested doing it on a U-Wing in the first place. I have a list in the Auzituck thread based off of when you said that.

I do love U-Wings, but ARCs and Auzitucks are my first loves. I want to make everything work on them ?
