Resistance 15 Red Dice (ish)

By Rettere, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Extended. What do you think? Kaz is a mixed bag but if flown as a flanker can force some bad decisions possibly. Preserve lulo, joust with the low init folks and try to bait into chasing the fireball or shooting Finn.

Maximum Red

(29) Finn [Resistance Transport Pod]
(1) Heroic
Points: 30

(42) Blue Squadron Rookie [T-70 X-wing]
Points: 42

(40) Kazuda Xiono [Fireball]
(2) Kaz's Fireball
Points: 42

(42) Blue Squadron Rookie [T-70 X-wing]
Points: 42

(43) L'ulo L'ampar [RZ-2 A-wing]
(1) Heroic
Points: 44

Total points: 200

I'm playing with something similar. Little more beef.

Kaz's Rosy Baby blues

(44) Red Squadron Expert [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils (1) Heroic Points: 45

(44) Red Squadron Expert [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils (1) Heroic Points: 45

(42) Blue Squadron Rookie [T-70 X-wing] (0) Integrated S-foils Points: 42

(26) Rose Tico [Resistance Transport Pod] Points: 26

(40) Kazuda Xiono [Fireball] (2) R4 Astromech Points: 42

Total points: 200

Works for hyperspace where Finn and Lu'lo are out. Blue Rookie will serve as a fair blocker. Rose is underrated in a pack, free rerolls on attack and defence will keep her alive longer than Finn on most cases.

Use Kaz in the pack as a standard ship only using slam to get out of rough situations.

I see we are all on the same general path.

My version switched the Rookie for Zizi to have an end game ace so:

Heroic Expert

Heroic Expert

Rose

Heroic Zizi

Kaz with Title

Or if you want all named pilots and some more aces

Pava

Bastian

Rose

Heroic Zizi

Heroic Jaeger

Both Hyperspace legal

Heroic Zizi isn't a bad shout.

Heroic Zizi is awesome. But I would say beware taking too many 2-red ships. had a bad time running jaeger, zizi, talli, rookie, and Finn. Just can’t kill enough.

rose/zizi/jaeger feels like not enough red dice to me.

How attached are you to the 5th ship? Because Jess with M9 and PA, Bastian with PA, Finn with Heroic and PA, and Kaz with Heroic R4, AdSLAM, and ContaCybers seems like a really efficient list

Have looked at this list as an alternative to the XXXx list. Still not a hyper space legal because of m9, PA and Finn.

Plus PA is on Bastian and Jess is probably a waste of points. Those two are still quite efficient while stressed as they can still get mod from thier abilities.

The OP list is extended, so that's what I worked with!

I think PA is hardly a waste, even on already efficient ships. Having their focus or roll is still significant, and even more so if they end up alone in the late game

Hmm I'm pretty attached to the idea of 5 ships. I feel like if I want to run 4 efficient jousty ships I can just go with Rebels and do it better there.

I got a couple games in with this list yesterday. After the first game I swapped in advanced slam and r4 on kaz. This is definitely the way to run him - getting a focus or barrel roll can turn him into a heavier hitter or into a double-reposition ship. Adv Slam all the way!

Not saying it isn't more efficient. PA is good on most Resistance ships but for the cost you can replace Finn with another Red squadron Expert with Heroic. I think the extra T-70 might be more worthwhile than Finn.

But Finn is a Big Deal!

Was a big deal. Now just and under developed character =o

I flew the following in my LGS and got routed:

Kazuda Xiono with R1-J5, Targeting Computer, Heroic, and Kaz's Fireball

2x Red Squadron Experts with Integrated S-Foils, Heroic, and Pattern Analyzer

Greer Sonnel with Heroic, Crack Shot, and Advanced Optics

The X-Wings died very quickly leaving the A-Wing and Fireball to take on four Rebel ships including K-2SO, which was very troublesome.

Kaz with R1-J5 and Kaz's Fireball could be a potent force with the right support ships. I'm thinking three A-Wings.
