If Worlds 2020 (ish) were Quickbuild, what's your list?

By theBitterFig, in X-Wing

Worlds 2020. Presume you've got a ticket, you've got a buddy who's paying for your flight and hotel and stuff, so you're going to be there. Presume it's happening at all.

Now presume it's not Extended. It's not Hyperspace.

It's Quickbuild.

What's your list to win Worlds? 8 QB points. Go.

First off, anybody know why they haven't updated the quick builds in over a year? Kinda sad that this fell to the wayside so soon.

Quad Upsilons is a thing.

Guri Fenn + Old T? Yes please.

Got to feature a certain U-Wing with his Door Gunner...

4x Black Sun Enforcer with Collision Detector.

Or maybe something out of left field, like Dengar, Guri, Kad Solus. (I want to try Dengar with R4 astromech).

now this is truly the answer in a civilized age.

Maybe not the best, but I've always wanted to fly angry chewie. This build is the antithesis of @Boom Owl 's existence.

Hi @Npmartian ! Happy Friday.

I really like the Rebel YT1300 and Arvel. The falcon in particular is a fun ship when upgrades don't ruin whats interesting about it.

At first I though "Eh, hard to argue with 6/6/5." However, the real kicker is that R4 Astromech. Dengar can't normally take one of those, and getting white right turns, and blue left ones, would be pretty solid. Ships like that which can do something they normally can't are among the most fun in Quickbuild.

Yeah and Fenn Rau with Afterburners lets him do dumb things he couldn't otherwise do - he can pull a Vader and run over a gas cloud, Boost > Focus. Or opt out of a fight while stressed (dial in a 3 bank/5 straight + boost to bail instead of being locked into a predictable 2 speed turn/3 straight). Also each of these ships is like 6 points over the points threshold for that level of threat, so the overall list is like 218 points?

8 Snapshot Colossus Station Mechanics. 40 Hull, 16-32 Red Dice, all with Disarm-removable SLAM sounds like a winner to me.

If not that, then probably Viper spam or Drea + Mooks spam.
