Just like the movie

By iwantbatteries, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking at this surprisingly thematic list, it seems shockingly consistent on some early testing, and uses some parts that basically nobody uses. Please tear it apart. Is it too weak to aces?

Rey (73)
Chewbacca (Resistance) (5)
Rose Tico (9)
Finn (10)
Contraband Cybernetics (3)

Ship total: 100 Half Points: 50 Threshold: 6

Finch Dallow (64)
GA-97 (8)
Paige Tico (7)
Proton Bombs (5)
Electro-Proton Bomb (14)

Ship total: 98 Half Points: 49 Threshold: 6


Total: 198

Suicide Finch+Ga97 and power-closer is an EXCELLENT squad.

There are a lot of subtleties with teching Finch for the meta and optimizing his run before your closer jumps-in.

I like your 100pt. Falcon.

Here mine with Poe:

I lost to a Poe+Rey list at a HST last month that was both strong and thematic. This is the variant of it I'm currently having a lot of fun with:

Poe Dameron (68)
Heroic (1)
R4 Astromech (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Black One (2)

Ship total: 78 Half Points: 39 Threshold: 4

Rey (73)
Korr Sella (6)
Rose Tico (9)
Finn (10)
Stealth Device (4)
Rey's Millennium Falcon (5)

Ship total: 107 Half Points: 54 Threshold: 6


Total: 185

Rey+Rose+Finn is great of course, and Korr Sella + Rey's title makes it easier to keep things in front of Rey (where you can take full advantage of Rey+Finn) or boost out of arcs (the bid gives Rey a good chance to move after most enemy I5's). You can put pretty much whatever you want on Poe, these are just the upgrades that I enjoy and keep him alive a bit longer (so I can keep shooting things with Rey).

I like the squad, i’d just drop PA for ferrosphere paint. You almost never do a red maneuver with poe, as you’re usually stressed, and the paint is awesome, as people usually forget you have it until it’s too late. I’ve used it a lot on Poe, and I’ve double stressed enemy Poes, E-Wings, and single stressed Missile SFs who were counting on rotating the turret... Vader doesn’t like being stressed either...
