Legendary Rebel Pilots

By Schu81, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello X-Wing Community!

I am thinking about a great list with iconic Rebel pilots. It should be fun to fly and still decent in combat.

What do you think about this? Could this be be any good? Do you think this might actually work? What would be the most dangerous counter list for this?

Han Solo (82)
Trick Shot (2)
Luke Skywalker (26)
Chewbacca (4)
R2-D2 (Crew) (8)
Engine Upgrade (7)

Wedge Antilles (52)
Predator (2)
R2 Astromech (4)
Afterburners (6)
Servomotor S-foils (0)

Total: 193

I've been toying with these two ever since the points dropped and I whole heartedly believe assigning them a third wheel support/wingman craft will bring more benefits than overinvestment in things like Luke Gunner.

Named A-wings, AP-1, ICT "Dutch", U-Wing Leia Carrier - these are all viable options.

On other news Chewie is so mediocre when compared to Lando or at least Leia.

Unless you really need to go for the fluff of it, ofc.

I have had Chewie only in one or two matches so far. I just think he might be useful because he can get rid of painful crits very easily ;) this can be lifesaving in certain circumstances, especially because the Falcon has got a lot of hull and might need to use it.

But Lando is an interesting idea, too. I'd have to do the Lando action a lot then, though, right? Thinking about that, because I need to boost quite a lot with the Falcon. 🧐

Flew that in a casual match last night. It worked surprisingly well.
