Rebel List

By uscsmurf, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The idea is to make several ships initiative 5 to either get in attacks early, or not get initiative killed. Also, Leia is there to have the U wings be able to sit for two rounds, and avoid stress the first time and let Norra K turn in behind someone.

I have flown Norra and Bandit in various lists, and usually fly Cassian and Braylen but flew against several opponents with multiple U-Wings and got lit up. With their base 2 agility they are slightly better than B's if they haven't closed their wings.

Norra in Arc
Swarm Tactics
Hull Upgrade

Magva
Swarm Tactics
Pivot Wing
Tac Officer

Heff
Leia
Pivot Wing
Tac Officer

Bandit Z
Cluster Missiles

What do you guys think of this? I'm open to any suggestions and comments. I am trying to stick with a 4 ship list though

Dont see much use for Swarm tactics here. You have a lot of beef, so being alpha killed will be difficult. Norra + Magva crew is great as it creates an anti aggro letting her get in close. Cassian' ability is money, and helps a lot for rebels allowing them to kturn. Would also allow the second Uwing in the list to do multiple stops in a row which would be super sneaky.

Hmmm, a two Uwing list with Norra. I would probably want a HWK over a Uwing.

Norra Wexley (55)
Magva Yarro (7)

Cassian Andor (47)
Selfless (3)

Jan Ors (42)
Trick Shot (1)
Engine Upgrade (3)
Moldy Crow (12)

Lieutenant Blount (30)

Total: 200

Norra i s threatening as anyone who attacks her gets a 4 dice full modded shot back. Cassian relieves Jans stress to open her dial, as well as Norras, leting her b-roll and kturn to her hearts delight. Blount is no slouch, as three medium bases ensure his ability is triggering.

If you are dead set on a double Uwing List:

Norra Wexley (55)

Heff Tobber (45) or naked Cassian
Tactical Officer (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Benthic Two Tubes (47)
Pivot Wing (0)

Kyle Katarn (38)
Trick Shot (1)
Moldy Crow (12)

Total: 200

Its a lot of focus bouncing. Kyle can toss focuses, Benthic can transfer focuses, and Heff gets bumped can coordinate a focus/lock,etc. Allows the optimal shot in the list to have mods. Jan + two Blues probably good too, has a 4 dice + focus attack is 3 expected hits.

I flew a 3 ship version of the first one with luke instead of norra recently and it was very good. I wanted to roll norra but I still don't own an Arc yet since the prices keep going up wtf.

Thanks for the feedback. I like the second list a lot as it actually allows you to spread focused wand use them. And I know the hawk is getting a lot of love from both rebels and scum, but does it hold up very well with its health?

I’m glad you thought of the multiple turns of 0 stops too. I don’t think it will be too viable to constantly do 0 stops but it would be a **** of a lot of fun and worth it to see my opponents face when I just park a u wing and turn as needed.

That 0 stop turn is very effective. I played against a cassian, luke, wedge list and every round I had to think about that stop and turn cuz you dont wanna land range 1. Not many ships are capable of boosting AND barrel rolling out of that arc. You just token up and eat it.

I’m having a lot of fun and success with this list. Can replace Thane with your choice. Some options is Wedge for more offensive but he dies quickly. Or Biggs to protect Jan. I’d keep at lest a 3 natural attack dice ship though. I like having three I5’s with a bid. I’m not sold on r3 but it helps Norra k turn or have a target lock and focus going into the second round of combat. I’d also consider adding Jyn Eros to Jan so you can have 2 focus and an evade going into combat.
