Feeling Heroic?

By Ryuneke, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I never played the Resistance but after a couple of tournaments I now have some ships.

Here is what I’m tinkering with:

Poe Dameron (68)
Heroic (1)
R4 Astromech (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Black One (2)

Tallissan Lintra (36)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

Greer Sonnel (36)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

L’ulo L’ampar (43)
Heroic (1)
Crack Shot (1)
Total: 200

XAAA saw lots of play with decent success. With the new points you need to rethink the list.

Trick Shot is to expensive for the A’s imo. Advanced Optics combined with Heroic feels pretty strong instead. No AO on Lulo because he already has good damage potential.

I’m struggling with not having a bid...

heroic so is strong, but so crack is too I'd try both across multiple games, otherwise looks good. If you need a bid talli to zari frees points, as does dropping so for crack instead

Played five games with this list and won 4 games which surprised me because the list suffered a significant points increase. Still not sure about it. Has anyone of you had any experience since the points update?

Not yet.

Been experimenting with Resistance Control Lists myself.

I'm not sure skinny Poe is where I'd go right now, but the title does help.

My Poe builds lately have been using a lot of regen, mostly R5 with a Hull upgrade, but that's just my push-back against Plasma Torp N1s and runaway Hyenas.

I want to come back to one of my favourite Resistance lists of all time. With some time passed I came up with two lists and want to ask you guys which one might be better.

1) Poe's A's

Poe Dameron (68)
Heroic (1)
R4 Astromech (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Black One (2)
Jamming Beam (0)

Tallissan Lintra (36)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

Greer Sonnel (36)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

Zari Bangel (35)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)
Total: 195

I really like Poe. Having an I6 in the list that can punch really hard is nice. The A's all got Heroic and AO for consistent damage output. The 5 point bid helps against Aces. An option is to put Crack Shot on the A-Wings and keeping a 2 point bid.

2) Nien's A's

Nien Nunb (55)
Crack Shot (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Black One (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (4)

Tallissan Lintra (36)
Crack Shot (1)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

Greer Sonnel (36)
Crack Shot (1)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

L’ulo L’ampar (43)
Crack Shot (1)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)
Total: 200

This list has Nien Nunb with HLC instead of Poe. Building it showed me how expensive Poe is compared to the other T-70 pilots. This allowed me to put Lulo in the list (for Zari). No bid here. Every A-Wing got Heroic, Crack Shot und AO. Again the option is to drop Crack Shot or Heroic for a bid or predator on Nien.

What's your opinion comparing these two lists?

If you drop the Hlc, list 2 seems super solid

Or turn it into r2 or something

@Ryuneke - The first one has Poe and LEGOs, so....that's going to be my clear pick. I don't think there's a picture of Zari, but Greer is kind of dark-skinned, so that's my most useful critique. ;)

Really, though, I think that's a super solid squad. I would prefer to have an I6 over the shenanigans of Nien. The biggest problem will likely be stuff with lots of green dice. If you felt comfortable dropping a lot of your bid, you could still get L'ulo in place of Zari...

Why do you prefer Nien?
