Better Republic list

By Thatdash, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello there, I am a huge fan or the Jedi and Naboo Starfighters, along with the Arc of course. But, im finding it difficult to create a strong list and keep it practical and cheap.

The current ships available in the other factions have so many cheap but useful automatic upgrades included on their ship cards, either the pilot or the pilot and ship itself.

Things like you must boost or perform a white 1 maneuver, or crazy barrel rolling without having to spend anything often make a list of Jedi with only CTL a soft hitting ship, and they must spend their force token so even if their within bullseye the force is spent.

So if its a cheap jedi, they only have 1 to begin with. Meaning its less practical. But the Delta upgrade is so expensive that amount of ships that can be flown is greatly reduced.

I love these ships and would love to be able to field them more often.

Does anyone have any great list suggestions?

Out of curiosity, how much of what ships do you have? It can help with list suggestions.

As for CLT Deltas, the best advice I've ever come across is to save the force tokens for repositioning and defense. Maybe the odd upgrade. Other wise you're need to lean hard of focus tokens for offensive mods. Another suggestion (not currently HS legal) is to take a Y-Wing with a turret and seventh fleet gunner. Just accept that it'll likely have a weapons disabled token more often than not. But that can bump any Jedi's red dice to a minimum of three, four plus a free eyeball for short range and bullseye

And if you're looking for cheap and practical don't get me started on Torrents.

I like to give my CLT Deltas R4 Astromech for SLooping then hard 1 banks to clear stress. You have the force to help defense on the turn you’re stressed and R4 means you can go into a lot more places to get that bullseye arc off.

This what I play around with for HS

+1 to this. Currently my favourite Republic list.

Otherwise, Plo, Obi, N-1 Anakin/Ric plus 1 is a good list. Upgrades should be fairly light, CLT on the Jedi. Anakin benefits from Intimidation and/or Torps- mostly Plasma. He likes a Sensor as well, there's several combos. Spend as little as possible on Ric. 4th ship is mostly best as Ion Broadside or another Jedi.

Couple of very acey classics are Delta Ani with CLT Plo and Obi or Delta Ani, CLT Obi and 2 Torrents. R2 price hikes have slowed it down a bit recently.

With generic CLT, treat your force token mostly as a reposition, and just focus all the time. Unless pulling a red ofc, in which case it's simply insurance.
