Rebel Prep for Hyperspace System Open

By Glattyator, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am making the hard switch from Extended Empire to Hyperspace Rebels. Based from List Fortress as well as this forum here are a couple lists I need to optimize to get the feel goods going into next months tourney.

I am really excited that X-wings have comeback as a viable option so you may see the trend, feedback welcome!

Idea around List 1 is to take the heat off of wedge whilst using the cheap Ys to protect flanks/set up with Ions and having spike damage with torps. U wing provides supp.

List 2 is X-wing mania, considering switching our Garvin for Biggs to protect Luke.

List 3: I miss competitively tabling the Falcon, hope Lando with plenty of support can take the mantel

I like list 3 the most, hands down. But I'd be really tempted to make that Renegade Saw himself... Lose TacOff, the droid, and Afterburners, and you can get those punishing rerolls

I see your point with the droid and after burners, may fall back on two-tubes to save $$$. Not a huge fan of needing to be damaged already since you have to have shields gone as well as having a damage card on you for Saw to take effect. With beefy ships it may just work, however I do like having a solid Wedge as a late game ace

Best rebel combination currently is giving Wedge proton torps (guaranteed crit going through) and something with coordinate to give him focus for double mod. So a mix of list 1 and 3. My idea would go around this

UT-60D U-wing - •Magva Yarro - 54
•Magva Yarro - Cavern Angels Spotter (50)
Tactical Officer (2)
•Leia Organa (2)
Pivot Wing (Open) (0)

BTL-A4 Y-wing - Gray Squadron Bomber - 41
Gray Squadron Bomber - (31)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

BTL-A4 Y-wing - Gray Squadron Bomber - 41
Gray Squadron Bomber - (31)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

T-65 X-wing - •Wedge Antilles - 64
•Wedge Antilles - Red Two (52)
Proton Torpedoes (12)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

Total: 200/200
