Drea Swarm - Better than I Thought

By Hugeman, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I tried this for fun at casual night.

It was way stronger than I thought 3-1 with it and I am a but clueless with swarms.

200pts

Drea - Protorps, R4, Dorsal, Han, Shield

Goon - Protorps

4 x Pirates

Just generally lead out with the Pirates and kept range with the Y-Wings.

Two things I learned;

Drea is awesome with this kind of list BUT absolutely essential to keep alive as long as possible (I wish it had 2 mod slots - I would look at dropping solo to get a hull upgrade).

Protorps erase a lot of stuff.

Edited by Hugeman

Drea is really all about support, not self-function - I'd lose the torps and Han, maybe R4, and the Protorps from the goon. MOAR SHOTS. Though I confess, I prefer Drea with VetTurGun Ys lol

A skeleton like this has 7 shots a round, 4 double modded, 3 single modded:

Drea (ICT, Han, R4, SU)

3x Goons (ICT, VetTurGun)

That's not really a swarm and I reckon you would be lucky to get 2 of the 4 ships shooting in any one turn.

And I only own 2 y-wings so not really an option.

Put 2 quadjumpers in list.
