[Rebel] Trading Focus

By LostScribe, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Posted at

I've been looking at action economy in Rebels squads as I'm primarily a Rebels pilot and only recently getting back into X-Wing. I put together this list and flew it at our local casual x-wing night, going 2-0 against a Boba/Guri/Serissu list and a Phantom Sloane/5 TIE swarm.

However, I'm not fully convinced with my upgrades and looking for any feedback on these lists.

I like it (esp the second list) but you really can drop a bunch of the upgrades and maybe upgrade blount to something else, like a sabine debris/juke shuttle. You dont really need R3 on Garven or the dorsal turret on dutch

Good point on the second list, the turret is a lot less useful without Veteran Turret Gunner. I’ll play around and see what I can add based on the ships I have. Thanks!

I have not had a chance to play this in person but it’s done very well in Fly Casual. Adding Jyn and Juke gives a lot of flexibility. I don’t have an attack shuttle so Sabine is out for now, and the A-wing options were okay (Jake for example added another way to get a free focus, but the limited range was more of a hindrance than expected).
