Snips' squad

By Amc879, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I am new to republic, but have been playing rebels for over a year. I only have these four republic ships and am missing the pilots from the guardians pack so my real life options are limited, but Ahsoka is so cool in me head and her ability to focus/lock +7th fleet gunner and a bullseye is such a big hit when it works. Far from optimal but kinda fun. Any optimizations people can provide would be appreciated. I was eying anakin as well and Lumi but not sure if they are good without 7B. Also Wolffe seems fun and I need to give him a try

Who’s Wilfred?

Whoops, autocorrected from Wolfe.

If you're playing extended I'd drop the bombs and fuses to up the SSV to Sinker. I'm also not generally that crazy about Seventh Fleet Gunner and Cody.

Seventh Fleet Gunner is great but I find it's best used on a Red Squadron Y-Wing with a turret. Better arc coverage and it's the cheapest Republic ship with a Gunner slot. That way I don't feel as bad constantly giving the ship a weapon disabled token. But if you're only going to use one Y-Wing it's hard to go wrong with Broadside. I do like to throw seismics or proton bombs on him if I have the points.

So an oh so slightly optimized version of your list might be...

“Wolffe” (50)

Squad Seven Veteran (44)
Dedicated (1)

"Broadside" (36)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Proton Bombs (5)

Ahsoka Tano (44)
Sense (5)
C1-10P (7)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (2)
Total: 199

Wolffe is a arguably the best ARC and he works very well without any upgrades. The only downside is that it mucks with the entire list having the same initiative. The generic ARC flies a loose formation with Wolffe and utilizes Dedicated to (hopefully) keep him alive longer. You could replace it with a 104th Battalion ARC mounting Tactical Scrambler. It's becoming all the rage on some podcast circuit as a blocker extraordinaire. Finally, it's not a Snips squad without Ahsoka. I love this particular build both for the theme (Rebels) and it just brings so much utility to the table.
