What Extended squads do you expect to do well now Wave3 has hit?

By Greedo_Sharpshooter, in X-Wing

7 factions. Pick at least one squad from any faction you expect to see be competitive now Wave 3 is here.

Unfair question, I know. Separatists and Republic have just arrived.

my Extended picks?

Rebel. 3 aces including Wedge and U-Wing or XYYU.

Galactic Empire. 6 ship swarm or barrage bombers.

Scum. Drea swarm (Mining Guilds & Z-95's).

FO. 3 aces including Kylo.

Resistance. 3-4 aces including Poe.

Republic. 2 Arc-170s plus one Jedi ace.

Separatist. 7 ship droid swarm with Kraken.

Rebels. Arc-170 could replace the U-Wing in rebel 3/4 ships squad.

Seconded.

I can't fit 4 Black Squad Ace, even without Heroic, but I can fit 4 I4 Phantoms with Juke (almost)?

It's not like every genetic got the same amount of love 💞

Yeah, forgot about them. FFG should hit Juke with a points increase or limit it to one per list.

Juke is whatever, just make Sigmas more expensive.

Sigmas should just cost either 49 or 50 pts.

disagree with this. but a bump in generic Phantom prices, I could get behind.

+5pts for Sigmas should do it. u can still play 4 in a list but only one will get Juke.

My preference is 48, so that I've got an excuse to try 4x Trick Shot Sigmas.

Bizarrely enough, given that the Wave 3 premier-illegality timer hasn't expired yet, Extended will feature fewer things than Hyperspace for Adepticon. If Wave 3 were legal for the event, I'd be tempted to fly 2 I5 Silencers + Midnight. Denying mods through abilities in attacking through gas clouds, yet using them for cover especially for Kylo running to make another attack, looks very good.
