Resistance Alpha

By theBitterFig, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just looking at a PhilGC article, there's a pretty nifty combo of Cova-Leia doing coordinate to give Zizi Tlo a huge opening punch with Proton Rockets. Seems kinda cool. Would it make sense to pair this with a Torpedo Poe for some?

  • Poe (Heroic, [R4], Black One, [Proton or Plasma Torpedoes]) 80-82-84-86
    • Is R4 needed with Leia in the list? Seems like it's probably worth buying, but could go either way.
    • Proton vs Plasma is a choice. Plasma is a lot cheaper, but I don't know what I'd do with the points. Protons are good against all opponents, while Plasma fails against Droids and some opponents.
  • Zizi Tlo (Heroic, Proton Rocket, [Advanced Optics]) 48-52
    • Optics is good, probably one of the last things to cut.
  • Cova (Heroic, Leia, [R4 Astromech]) 56-58
  • Total 184-196, 4 to 16 points to play with.
    • Bid seems at least a little important. Being able to get bullseye with Zizi is going to matter.
    • Yeah, saying that out loud kinda dooms the thought for me. Bullseye is hard enough to pull off with double mods that the list probably isn't really worthwhile. Rather, it probably can't elevate the historically-mediocre Poe. I think PRockets Zizi seems like it might have some legs.
