Gooooood Morning FFG Forums!

I am, at the moment, stuck between 2 potential hyperspace lists for competitive play, and I was hoping to get some opinions from you wise, beautiful people:

Option 1:

Luke

Lando (Nien, Leia)

Biggs

I split them up - Biggs and Luke, and Lando on his own - to force a choice on the part of my opponent. From the very start, Luke and Lando have consistent mods, and Biggs is quite okay. Both sub-squads are really quite beefy.

Option 2:

Saw (Leia)

Wedge

Biggs

Golden Y-Wing (Selfless, ICT, VTG)

This crew must fly together in a line, I think. Potentially, this list can throw 4 double modded attacks and 1 single modded. It has more HP than the last one. However, I find it harder to fly - last weekend at a tournament, I kept bumping myself.

list two makes much better use of Biggs. Saw seems out of place though, as his ability has little benefit to the x-wings. I might lean more on the generic side of things and fit in tac officer to maximize your action efficiency.

I like list 1, because its my playstyle. I ran Lando,Wedge,Thane in casual game and it just felt good. Havent gone back to it though. Not sure I would take it to hyperspace trials cuz I dont think it could win, but for Casual or Wave Kits, I just had a blast flying it. Luke is beefier, good for the ywing matchups.

Problem Lists (apart from ywing cheese):

Vaders, for instance the Tie Salad list. He moves after your three ships, and hits hard and lands crits. This can be brutal for Lando.

The Resistance 5's - The list usually has around a 5 point bid and all four move after your ships. The two awings can dance around your Xwings.

Boba + Fang - The bid is usually high and Boba with Slave I moving after all your ships will be tough. Luke is hard to bring down at range 2/3, but Fangs with Fearless will put the hurt on him. And if its like Heavers list with Boba Proxys, the force wont save him. Would be a really tough match.

I flew a similar list to your list 2 yesterday. Partisan Uwing with Leia, Wedge, Norra and Horton with VTG Ion. Was tough flying together. I used the Uwing and two Ys to do damage and kept Wedge as safe as possible, closing Sfoils almost all game and just boosting out of arcs, and circling around rocks. Wedge only got two shots all game, but they were the reason I won (full mod shot on Maarek from tallon roll with Leia, and got a Loose Stabilzer Crit into Dutchess early). My opponent saw Wedge was being dodgy, and then started shooting ywings and Uwings, which allowed Wedge to circle from behind. Good list when flown right, and cripples people who dont know how to fly against it. Just dont block yourself! Like first turn of engagment I had a "Ywings want to go this way, Wedge wants to criss cross their path" conundrum.

List #1 gets my vote. Spend time chewing through Lando or spend time getting through Luke/Biggs while Lando flies around.

List 1 I definitely prefer, but I'd swap out Biggs for Thane or Kullibree. Biggs is largely irrelevant because if I have shots on two x-wings and one of them is Luke, I'm going to shoot the one without free mods.

Thanks for the feedback, folks! Very helpful to hear your opinions
