Flying Carpet 2.0

By Flybywiresystem, in X-Wing Squad Lists

It used to be a very powerful (and maybe quite too easy) list in the days of old XWing.

Now let's try to rebuild it.

Kashyyyk Defender (46)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Kashyyyk Defender (46)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Kashyyyk Defender (46)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Kashyyyk Defender (46)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Total: 200

What do you think? Is this still viable nowadays?

The biggest issue could be the limited options to modify dice during an attack, since you'd probably want to Reinforce most of the time.

How could you improve this list? Do people still play it somewhere in a competitive environment?

This list has no bite. I want to make the wookies win, but it is hard when they are all just tanking. I think this list would struggle against aces, who would arc dodge the giant arcs and attack from behind the ships.

Yeah it seems like they really need a crew to get mods as well. I prefer - on paper at least, since I haven't flown one in 2nd - to have Saw on there or something to get mods. But they don't have as many hit points as they used to.

You could try something like this:

Kashyyyk Defender (46)

Kashyyyk Defender (46)

Kashyyyk Defender (46)

Saw Gerrera (52)
Fire-Control System (2)
Leia Organa (2)
Tactical Officer (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Total: 196

That way you could have white stalls. But I agree, the list looks anemic, particularly since the gunships can't take locks.
