Hey fellow pilots,

I am super excited for the Resistance to come out as I loved Poe and the T-70 in first edition and will be fully converting once they come out. I have a build for Poe and Talli I want to use but am having troubles finding a wingmate and thought I'd open it up for suggestions! Here's what I have so far:

Of those 2, I would STRONGLY support Nien.

Also worth considering: Ello Asty with just Heroic. More points for the bid, and he does at least part of what Nien does. Nien can do a K-Turn or T-Roll and discard the stress? Sure. But Ello just does a White Tallon Roll. Now, there are other cool things Nien can do (link a red barrel roll into Range 1 after a focus without stress), but Ello also seems decent, and he's cheaper.

Nien + PA is a monster. If we say that stress avoidance is equivalent to half an action, Nien is capable of up 4 actions per turn (red maneuver/focus/BR/TL), with 3 being typical. Talon + Boost/BR into R1 is easier than it seems. I don't understand how people think other options are even remotely close.

So I think the starting point for resistance aces is Poe/Nien/+1. Not sure Tallissan is the right 3rd ship, unless ofc you are just explicitly wanting to fly her.

There is a part of my that just explicitly wants to fly Talli, but I am also open to other options! She has a really good initiative and is relatively cheap which draws me to her but it’s not set in stone

Actually,

Poe+R4, Nien+PA, Tali, Zari fits

What about Poe, Tallie, and Han with Rey gunner?

If you're willing to take a second a wing over a t-70 you could do this:

(38) L'ulo L'ampar

(1) Heroic

(2) Predator

(8) Primed Thrusters

Points 49

(35) Tallissan Lintra

(1) Heroic

(2) Predator

(8) Primed Thrusters

(7) Proton Rockets

Points 53

(68) Poe Dameron

(1) Heroic

(0) Integrated S-foils

(8) BB-8

(8) Primed Thrusters

(2) Black One

(9) Proton Torpedoes

Points 96

Total points: 198

Poe gets an upgrade to proton torps (I love HLC as his go to but I think when you have the points, upping to Protons is always a better option), Tallie picks up Proton rockets (to give her some stopping power beyond just a two dice attack, and can be swapped out if you aren't finding it consistent enough), and you get Lulo as a whole, who also gets re-rolls, and can get a four dice modded range one attack as your flanker (and also has primed to keep his options open).

I think it can do well (poe is a monster as usual and if you want to play super aggressive and just charge foreward, Poe can keep up with the A wings with Black One. Tallie is the only one who would lack attack power but she gets the rockets so she can help obliterate something in the opening exchange, and your action economy and damage output across the three ships will be good throughout the entire game, especially with the extra dice from Tallie.

IN the end it comes down to whether you would prefer a second t70 or a wing, but its an option!

Best,

That is a fantastic list, I will definitely try it out!! 😊

I've also got a four ships that im burning to try (2 t70s and 2 A's, but no poe) if you want it, and Poe Han that looks super fun to play strategy wise. Resistance = fun.
