My Turn Zero Ship Setup

By BlastyMcBlasterFace, in X-Wing

I love this list and am flying it at Concord Dawn. I can't change the list, and I know how to setup my obstacles. However, in my limited time I've had to test it I haven't been able to nail down where to put Rexler.

Rhymer joustes and gets full mods from Sai who follows, hopefully they can kill some stuff. Rexler avoids getting half pointed and does his thing.

In setup A, Rex flies super fast up and around and tries to flank from the top down.

In setup B, Rex is cagey and tries to react to what the opponent is doing or even funnel them into Rhymers haymakers.

Major Rhymer is a Bad Man

(37) Major Rhymer [TIE/sa Bomber]
(6) Proton Rockets
(1) Marksmanship
(5) Adv. Proton Torpedoes
Points: 49

(47) Lieutenant Sai [Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle]
(11) Emperor Palpatine
(4) ST-321
Points: 62

(79) Rexler Brath [TIE/D Defender]
(6) Outmaneuver
Points: 85

Total points: 196

Suggestions?

Okay, well it won't let me upload a second one.....

Rex is on the far right corner, diagonally pointed in.

As a general rule, don't put your ace that far from the rest of your list. If the enemy closes fast, it either leaves the rest of the list alone to face the enemy, leaves the ace alone to face the enemy, or forces the ace to run from the enemy. Try to keep them around range 3 at the farthest. Some pilots can break this rule (Kylo comes to mind), but in general, a full board length is too much.

Also, unless you think you can win a joust, don't set them all up together. Sai and Rhymer together are fine, but use Rexy boi to make the opponent consider a flank.

I won an invite to Coruscant with this list!

Nice!!

I play a bunch of really great people and went 4-2. I only lost to bug swarms, and one of them I was a single hit away from winning. I wound up at 34th place, and was fortunate that 3 other people above me already had invites so I was able to get one.

I feel like my lists does well against large base ships, and in all four of my wins that's what I faced: Maul, Rey, IGs and Nom Lomb, and Dash.

Strategy is to kill over 111 points and not to let Rexler get half pointed. Gotta be super careful as everyone loves to block a defender and that's how they die. Gotta know when to be ballsey and when to disengage.

I've been developing this list for a long time and when Nantex became a thing I thought people might bring big ships to counter them, seems like it worked out.
