Resistance Salad

By Andyf1702, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am looking into playing these 4 ships, mainly just for fun.

Cova Nell (38)
Leia Organa (Resistance) (17)
R4 Astromech (2)

Black Squadron Ace (T-70) (47)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Kazuda Xiono (40)
Heroic (1)
R5 Astromech (4)
Advanced SLAM (3)

Zizi Tlo (40)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

I'm not sure if I can make the list better or how I should be using the Fireball

Good individual pieces, should be fun to fly. I like R5 on Kaz, repair the initial damage on the first turn to maximize the lifespan of his pilot ability.

Unless you're set on being all I4+, you might consider Bastian instead of the BSA. He's been a crucial piece of many wins for me.

In terms of a totally different type of salad, I put 2 generic Fireballs and 4 As (Zizi, Talli, Greer, Blue) on the table this week. A lot of fun!

Cova really neither needs nor wants an R4. You lose 2 reds for her ability, and she doesn't need extra greens...

I am, however, a big proponent of R4s on Kaz...Heroic, R4, AdSLAM, ContraCybers, Title, is a 50 point beast!

Cova's ability triggers based on the difficult revealed on the physical dial; she loses nothing from R4; the 1-turns still count as red for the purposes of her ability (Its a neat little FAQ that also makes her bonkers with Leia crew! Stop/reverse for eternity and still get those bonus dice.)

Don't get me wrong, Cova and Leia is great! But adding R4 on doesn't work...R4 "changes your dial," as it were - you can see that effect on, say, the YASB interface. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it goes

R4 is specifically mentioned in the FAQ alongside Leia in Cova's FAQ entry

Okay cool!

Bastian is a good call

4 A-Wings and 2 Fireballs does sound good to fly

Not to mention how broken having both Leia and R4 on her is. Dial in Red Hard 1 > R4 makes it execute as White > Leia moves the White to Blue. Blue hard 1 that procs Cova's extra dice...

That is very similar to what I plan to fly on Sunday at the UK System Open, either in the World's Qualifier or a Hangar Bay (there's no way I'll make cut!):
