3A+X

By Glyph, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys! I've been playing about with the idea of 5 RZ-2 A-wing s and I was curious to see what I could fit in if I removed the 2 I1 generics. At first I went with Kaz in the Fireball , but then I thought, "Does a T-70 X-wing fit in?". I do have another version of this list, but replacing Nien Nunb with Poe Dameron with only the S-foils, Heroid, and Advanced Optics, which comes at 200 pts. I'm not sure which of the two is better? As always, comments and suggestions are always welcome!

I5 Nien Nunb (55) OOOO OOO
- Heroic (1)
- R3 Astromech (3)
- Integrated S-Foils (0)
- Advanced Optics (4)
- Plasma Torpedoes (9)
Ship total : 72 Half Points : 36 Threshold : 4

I5 Zizi Tlo (40) OO OO
- Heroic (1)
- Advanced Optics (4)
Ship total : 41 Half Points : 21 Threshold : 2

I5 Tallissan Lintra (36) OO OO
- Heroic (1)
- Advanced Optics (4)
Ship total : 41 Half Points : 21 Threshold : 2

I4 Greer Sonnel (36) OO OO
- Heroic (1)
- Advanced Optics (4)
Ship total : 41 Half Points : 21 Threshold : 2

Total : 199

If you're playing Nien you definetely want pattern analyzer instead of optics

Alas, Pattern Analyzer isn't in Hyperspace, but the rest of the list is (no Crack Shot on the A-Wings, for example).

Is Nien without PA worth it? Maybe; he's still an Init 5 able to shed stress sometimes, which is nice.

I feel like the Nien Build does clash. With Advanced Optics relying on a Focus action, but R3 and Plasma Torpedoes relying on a Lock action, Nien's single action kind of gets pulled in several directions. It does seem to be a bit awkward to fill the rest of the points, so I'm perhaps a bit worried about the direction of the ship.

What about this, however: Instead of Plasma Torpedoes (an opening weapon), what about Tractor Beam? I guess Poe can run Tractor Beam, too, but Nien can get a bunch of toys, like Hull Upgrade and R1-J5, or Optics, etc etc.

Naw, I don't really like it.

Was it ever mentioned that it was supposed to be a Hyperspace list?

In that case, i woulddo this:

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

Ship total: 73 Half Points: 37 Threshold: 4

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

Ship total: 45 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 2

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

Ship total: 41 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 2

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

Ship total: 41 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 2


Total: 200

My mistake! Yes it's meant to be Hyperspace legal!

That's actually VERY interesting! I like it!

No, but I think it's probably a safer assumption.

Wouldn't Greer be better than Tallie?

They're both in there

Poe 3A has been a thing for several waves, so you're definitely on the right track.

It's a meta call for Hyperspace right now whether 200Poe 3A is the best choice over, say, a thick Nien or a MagPulse Poe with generics instead of Greer and Tallie (Keep Zizi).

Good luck!
