[HPS & EXT] Looking for Republic list advice

By Schanez, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello there! Again... I've mostly found something, that is fun to fly for the Rebels and am looking at the Republic right now. So far I am the proud owner of two Aethersprites, four Torrents, an Arc and a Naboo Starfighter. Sadly I only own the Guardians of the Republic pilots, but am working on acquiring the ones from the standalone expansion as well.

So for now I have this, mostly...

  • Obi-Wan: CLT
  • Plo Koon: CLT
  • Ric Olié: Predator
  • Blue Squadron Protector: Dedicated
  • Blue Squadron Protector: Dedicated

Or for HPS...

  • Obi-Wan: CLT
  • Plo Koon: CLT
  • Ric Olié: naked
  • Wolfe: C-3PO

This can do nice things. I would leave Wolffe naked and just let him do Wolffe things. He'll probably die regardless of what he's carrying. So then you have some points to up Rics time on target/damage output.

I didn't get a lot of mileage out of C-3P0 when placed on various ARCs. And named clones have been feeling like sort of a "trap" for Republic. Changing Wolffe/3P0 for a naked Squad Seven Veteran leaves you at 186 with more blocking options for the ARC. Maybe give it Dedicated or Intimdation. I think you want Adv. Proton Torps on Ric. Maybe more like:

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Plo Koon - 48
•Plo Koon - Serene Mentor (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Obi-Wan Kenobi - 52
•Obi-Wan Kenobi - Guardian of the Republic (48)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter - •Ric Olié - 50
•Ric Olié - Bravo Leader (42)
Fire-Control System (2)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)

ARC-170 Starfighter - Squad Seven Veteran - 47
Squad Seven Veteran - (44)
Intimidation (3)

Total: 197/200

With 3x PS5 pilots you need a bid (too many other PS5 aces flying etc. Boba, Kylo, Jedi, Luke...). I would drop the Adv. Protons and add Predictive shots on Obi & Plo. Daredevil is a nice idea on Ric. As the 4th ship, I like Ashoka + Foresight, but other options are Young Ani + Intimidation or ARC+Dedicated.

2nd list. C-3PO is nice but pricey on Wolffe. The double calculates help greatly. I like Daredevil on Ric.

New Squadron

(48) Obi-Wan Kenobi [Delta-7 Aethersprite]
(4) Calibrated Laser Targeting
Points: 52

(44) Plo Koon [Delta-7 Aethersprite]
(4) Calibrated Laser Targeting
Points: 48

(42) Ric Olié [Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter]
(2) Daredevil
Points: 44

(50) "Wolffe" [ARC-170 Starfighter]
Points: 50

Total points: 194

And anything with some torrents? Or are they useless? (I also have 4 of them but I'm not sure how to use them... Or if I should!)

I have been flying this atm, it's a list that got to the top 4 in the UK system open.

Ahsoka Tano (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (2)

Plo Koon (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Obi-Wan Kenobi (48)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ric Olié (42)
Outmaneuver (6)

Not sure which Jedi you would swap out as the list has a 6 point bid and any one of them could be replaced by Wolf.

That was my idea for a squadron. Mostly to make the Torrents less of a blocker meatshields and actually give them some fangs. You get some double mods on some of the missiles. Best case scenario on all. Idea is, you move and grab focuses, then Obi can either grab a focus or Coordinate the Torrents into Locks. Tucker gets a focus if a friendly attacks, so he should be fine. You get three attempts at passing a Lock to the fourth Torrent for double mods everywhere. Two if Tucker was unable to grab a Lock himself. Your Torrents also shoot before most Separatist Swarms.

I'm not sure if it's worthy to upgrade those gold squadron troopers into Blue Squadron Protectors, just to give them the Dedicated talent, so they can protect each other and ObiWan... but mayte GSTs with concussion missiles and Tucker is an interesting list to test... thanks for the advice!

I love CLT Obi

I love CLT Plo

I love Wolffe

I think those 3 are a strong core to a list for HS or EXT

To round it out in a HS legal way, I would suggest ShenAnigans - Ani with whatever other upgrades float your boat lol

An interesting option might be:

  • Obi-Wan: CLT
  • Luminara Unduli: CLT
  • Wolfe: Veteran Tail Gunner
  • Padme Amidala: Passive Sensors

Luminara can make Padme's ability actually trigger more often.
