Kicking off republic hype

By Roller of blanks, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After finding out the points have dropped I hopped on my squad builder and made hopefully competitive squad.

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Anakin Skywalker - 70 •Anakin Skywalker - Hero of the Republic (60) Calibrated Laser Targeting (10) Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Ahsoka Tano - 62 •Ahsoka Tano - “Snips" (47) Delta-7B (15) V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Blue Squadron Protector - 32 Blue Squadron Protector - (29) Dedicated (3) V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Blue Squadron Protector - 32 Blue Squadron Protector - (29) Dedicated (3) Total: 196/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

The bid is there for anakin, so he has no trouble getting the bullseye he needs. Ashoka is there to help whoever needs an action most and because its fluffy. The generics are cheap firepower that protects the jedi.

Thoughts?

The abilities work really well together. I would be worried about firepower myself. 4 2 dice attacks isn't great especially if you lose a torrent before it can shoot against an aces list.

Ashoka has 3 here I believe, and Anakin has the bullseye bonus, although I do think this is still a little offense light imo

Ah you are correct.

Ahsoka has the Delta-7B configuration, so primary attack value 3. Anakin has Calibrated Laser Targeting so gets an added focus result if he can get bulls-eye.

All looks fun. I'm wondering whether Ahsoka may not be the best choice for Delta-7B. I think her primary function might be to support a couple of other hard hitting Jedi. How about this?

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Ahsoka Tano - 51
•Ahsoka Tano - “Snips" (47)
R2 Astromech (4)

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Anakin Skywalker - 82
•Anakin Skywalker - Hero of the Republic (60)
R2 Astromech (4)
Delta-7B (18)

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Luminara Unduli - 64
•Luminara Unduli - Wise Protector (44)
R2 Astromech (4)
Delta-7B (16)

Total: 197/200

I'd be tempted to roll with a third Aethersprite or an ARC rather than Vs. I don't like Vs, especially without missiles. They seem too underwhelming
