Thanks so much for the reply both,
So in the meantime I have searching for other Rey builds and found one that did really well at Space Jam Rome (4-2)
RESISTANCE (192)
Rey
Scavenged YT-1300
(104)
Rose Tico + Korr Sella + Finn + Engine Upgrade + Rey's Millennium Falcon
Zizi Tlo
RZ-2 A-wing
(46)
Heroic + Crack Shot + Advanced Optics
Tallissan Lintra
RZ-2 A-wing
(42)
Heroic + Crack Shot + Advanced Optics
I also have been watching a ton of Hexiled gaming vids using xwing battle archive to search for Rey builds and found Rey, Talli and Zizo crop up a lot. The Rey is much fatter with Heightened Perception and Contraband Cybernetics and having Tallie allows that. The games have been great to watch and I have been predicting moves.
Responding to @Torches idea I really like some of the additions to Zizi and adding Cova. My personal thought is that I just cannot fly Cova well enough or get the best out of her. I wish I would of started with Cova and moved across as I fly Rey in such a way now that I will find it hard to add Cova back in. Cova is awesome and definitely seems to be the most successful build at the moment but I love the Awings so much! Zizi for sure is a no-brainer and I love the addition of the Concussion missiles- I heard some great ideas about snapshot and then proton rockets - so you become the attacker with snapshot and grab a focus, then you move as normal and take a focus as your action and then you have the double focus to use. I really like this idea and it is something I would to try - also happens with the dreaded blank, focus result or as I have had it coined "The troll roll!".
Totally agree about the flying of Rey - I have spent a ton of time perfecting opening moves and obstacle placement so I have options at start of game. I am going on record to say that she doesn't have any terrible matchups nor any good match ups - I think it's flying her effectively. I have found that you are better off front arcing as much as possible just for the autoevade of Finn if you have the force. Kiting at range 1 side arc is also great and the ability to boost is awesome!
I ended up 3-3 in the Sith taker League and I feel that 4-2 would of been easily attainable with better decision making on my part!
My next Rey list is as follows -
Rey (70)
Korr Sella (6)
Rose Tico (9)
Finn (10)
Contraband Cybernetics (2)
Stealth Device (4)
Rey's Millennium Falcon (2)
Ship total: 103 Half Points: 52 Threshold: 6
Zizi Tlo (40)
Heroic (1)
Crack Shot (1)
Advanced Optics (4)
Ship total: 46 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2
Tallissan Lintra (36)
Heroic (1)
Crack Shot (1)
Advanced Optics (4)
Ship total: 42 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 2
Total: 191
Yes I know 9pt bid but this will be my base build and I will add stuff at appropriate - we all know Zizi is going up next points adjustement! Gives me space for missiles if needed and Contraband on Rey will help smooth out those bad decisions I hope! Crackshots should help get some extra damage through!
Sith taker League here I come! We can change lists every week so can't wait!
Keep me updated everyone!
