Squad Stress

By Spinland, in X-Wing Squad Lists

First time poster, total n00b to the game—I don't even own it yet, going to be getting some sets as a gift next week but have been reading up and watching videos. Of course, also doing some shopping for items I may (will probably) want to add later.

I like B-wings from a fan perspective, and I like what I've read about the Saw's Rebellion expansion so those are high on my list for Rebel scum—er, faction. It seems stress tokens play a large role in activities unique to B-wings in the game, and the Leia-as-crew card (Rebel Beef archetype, right?) factors into making them more dangerous. I started noodling around with card combos that seem to either mitigate stress counters or turn them into assets, and ended up with the following list. The Y-wing is basically because I ran out of points to use and the U-wing seems like it'd be a good anchor for the squad.

I'm more than open to critiques and ideas.

UT-60D U-wing - •K-2SO - 56
•K-2SO - Cassian Said I Had To (46)
Elusive (3)
•Leia Organa (7)
Pivot Wing (Open) (0)

BTL-A4 Y-wing - •“Dutch” Vander - 45
•“Dutch” Vander - Gold Leader (40)

A/SF-01 B-wing - •Ten Numb - 48
