Favourite Poe Build?

By Blast Tundra, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What is everyone's favourite Poe build at the moment, and why?

For me its:

Poe Dameron (73 points total)
Black One
Heroic
R4

The way I play Poe is to get him in close, quickly, and utilise the double action and clear the stress with blue manoeuvres. Heroic is there in case I really balls up my rolls and Black One is there as a 2 point, "Well played, you've got me... cya!"

I'm always open to trying new things in X-Wing, so would love to know why you fly Poe the way you do.

Cheers

I love Poe with such:

Heroic, Integrated, Primed, Black One, Static Discharge. (total 85).

You can totally toss more stuff in there to taste, but the static discharge makes him so much more fun and tactical to fly. Now, rather than just using it as an escape tool, you can use it to offensively ion an enemy ship, and get extra utility if they have jams in their squad. Fun stuff.

Best,

R4 is enough for me! Though I'd never turn down Heroic

For 1 point you might as well, especially if you run them on everything you're flying.

I was listening to Mynock Squadron last night and they were discussing a really interesting "anti-Poe" Poe build:

Poe Dameron (89 points total)
Black One
Trick Shot
BB8
Ferrosphere Paint
Heavy Laser Canon

If you stick to range 2-3 you're rolling 4 attack dice per turn, 5 if obstructed, all before dice mods! You will have unmatchable manoeuvrability. Enemy target locks have to be in the bullseye arc otherwise they gain stress. And to top it off, it leaves you with 111 points to fly other ships and afford a bid. Killer.
