First order Bizzy Edtion

By IgotTargetlocked, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Having been struggeling allot with Fo over thesy last few mounths, trying a variety of lists with Major von reg and friends with littel to no wins.

A friend in my group and i talked it trough, and he got me hoked on "Holo"

So we started with a list with Holo,Proud. paired with Lehouse, fanatical and Spec fo gunner, Scorch, longshot and revias.

It was allot of fun, but after a few games i fellt like the FOs wernt pulling their weight, so i got rid of loongshot, and scorch, Due to scorchs stress mecanic not working so well , becuse it makes him predictebel, And loongshot is a bit harder to pull off,

I added Blackout , with fanatical, And more actions and repo worked like a charm.

But then after a few games i came to the conclusion that Lehouse was dying allot, Not gaing his poits back. And the need for other ships to look for him is not a good strategy,

So i droped him and now the list looks like this

Lieutenant Rivas — TIE/FO Fighter27

Ship Total: 27

Half Points: 14 Threshold: 2

"Holo" — TIE/Ba Interceptor54

Proud Tradition2

Ship Total: 56

Half Points: 28 Threshold: 2

“Blackout” — TIE/vn Silencer63

Fanatical2

Ship Total: 65

Half Points: 33 Threshold: 3

Sienar-Jaemus Engineer — TIE/vn Silencer51

Ship Total: 51

Half Points: 26 Threshold: 3

The silencer works rly well, with a 3 dice gun, 3 evades , it keeps its points and deals out more dps

I kept rivas, the ability is just to good. And a fully modded 2 dice gun can do some heavy lifting.

My opponent has been playing jedis / arcs and baby anni, or boba dengar

Thanks for any feedback, And im so glad i got TTS

I'm a big fan of Engineers. They move so well, with a good gun, green dice that let them highroll well, 6 health for when they don't highroll. Blackout and Holo are solid, and Rivas is a nice little filler. Using one instead of LeHuse actually makes a lot of sense. For 2 more points, you get a 3rd green die, plus an amazing dial and Autothrusters, at the cost of initiative (5 down to 1 does hurt) and a turret that'll almost surely never leave the forward position.

I guess the list to compare it to is Kylo, Blackout, Engineer, which just top 4'd at a large online tourney. Here, instead of Kylo, you've got Holo and Rivas. Holo is also a potential double-mods ship, with Rivas as a blocker and filler who often punches above his low price due to his free Locks.

I don't think there's a way to tweak or improve the list. No one has extra upgrades, and cutting Rivas for another TIE doesn't give you enough points to add a useful upgrade or improve a pilot. Doesn't mean that there's not a better FO list, but it'd be so entirely different list that it'd belong in a different thread. I guess Blackout and the SJ Engineer could both be Fanatical FOTP, but I'm not sure that's better. 5+1 seems about as good as 4+4 most of the time.

Thanks for the feedback

Just faced boba / Koskha

Flew in to agressilvy with Blackout, got a blinded and then died,

My opponent flew rly well with boba, a bit off with koskha, so when time was called i had rivas, (who tock the most out of boba with focus lock evry turn) And a 2 hull sinar , Holo died the same turn due to a barrelroll that was 1 mm away from keeping boba in my arc, but gave boba a range 1 shot with focus and force with 3 ships at range 1 for rerolls, so yeah, she died,

But all in all i like this list and will continue to fly it , hopefully it wont get very affected in the new points

Drop proud traditions for daredevil every time, the barron can already move incredibly well and with daredevil it's amazing. I'd also suggest this list:

"Holo" (54)
Daredevil (2)

Ship total: 56 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 2

Zeta Squadron Survivor (32)
Ship total: 32 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3

Zeta Squadron Survivor (32)
Ship total: 32 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3

Epsilon Squadron Cadet (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 2

Epsilon Squadron Cadet (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 2

Epsilon Squadron Cadet (25)
Ship total: 25 Half Points: 13 Threshold: 2


Total: 195

I wasn’t a fan of Holo because I used him in the wrong list. I have tried him in this list and it’s great. Well IMO. You are very consistently putting out damage
