Rey's As (Extended Resistance)

By Spinland, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Logged into a work meeting where the principals are running late; hence, cooling my heels on their dime.

This came about when trying to implement an outline @gennataos suggested as a sort of "Verminator" bug-punching list on the Krayt thread. Loaded Rey with, again, a pair of wingies—but these are As instead of Xs. The Elusives were to soak up the leftover 6 points and maybe help the As live a little longer. Float like a butterfly, and so on. Probably several ways this could be re-jiggered, including putting Rey on a diet.

RZ-2 A-wing - •Tallissan Lintra - 50
•Tallissan Lintra - Deadly Approach (36)
Elusive (3)
Heroic (1)
Proton Rockets (6)
Advanced Optics (4)

Scavenged YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Rey - 95
•Rey - Resourceful Scavenger (68)
•Rose Tico (9)
•Korr Sella (6)
•Rey’s Millennium Falcon (2)
•Finn (10)

RZ-2 A-wing - •Zizi Tlo - 55
•Zizi Tlo - Committed to the Cause (41)
Elusive (3)
Heroic (1)
Proton Rockets (6)
Advanced Optics (4)

Total: 200/200

I would remove the two elusives. Your Awings won't do red maneuvers. I know because out of literally hundreds of games, I did around 3 red maneuvers with RZ2s.

Personally I'd add one crackshot on Zizi and keep a 4pt bid. You want to find a balance between out-acing other i5 aces, and between getting through strong defenses once prockets (and probably Rey... ) are gone. For me that's with a crackshot to squeeze out a bit more, but I also like Gennataos' 194pt list.

Crack on Zizi by the way because I expect her to live long enough to get a second bullseye shot.

Cool insights, thanks!

Yeah: these lists are just theorycrafting until I get more games under my belt—that aren't agains the AI in Fly Casual. Lots of fun what-iffing, though!
