Supernatty Ani

By Amc879, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This list is super tanky and can points fortress really well. Only problem is it lacks some damage output. What 2 delta list would you fly instead? I do like the CLT and 7B flexibility though...

(62) Anakin Skywalker [Delta-7 Aethersprite]
(9) R2 Astromech
(24) Delta-7B
(32) Supernatural Reflexes
(8) Shield Upgrade
Points: 135

(43) Luminara Unduli [Delta-7 Aethersprite]
(7) C1-10P
(3) Calibrated Laser Targeting
(3) Brilliant Evasion
Points: 56

Total points: 191

I just flew this tonight and I had 2 thoughts. The first was that lumi is really good with chopper. Incredibly tanky and great when she gets behind an enemy squad.

The second is that anakin is tricky. He is sooo expensive and always one wrong move from being very sad. He almost never turned into a fight unless he could init kill something. He died in a big fiery death a little too quickly.

I gotta say, I haven’t ever had the balls to put either 7B OR Supernatural Reflexes on Anakin. Each one of them is practically a ship’s worth of points in itself, and I have a really bad habit of rolling blank green dice with Force-users; the idea of using BOTH, and giving up FIVE V-19’s worth of points on one or two bad defensive rolls seems insane to me. So I guess all I have to say is, “Kudos. You got a lotta guts playing a list like this.”

Also: I’m not an expert on these sorts of two-ship Jedi lists, but wouldn’t you rather have Sense than Brilliant Evasion? Anything to give you a better chance of correctly positioning Anakin seems wise. He IS your list. He dies, you lose.

Maybe? Sense only helps if I don't win the bid and against other i6 since lumi didn't need to be a true ace. With a 9pt bidv that isn't super common. I totally agree about the fear of losing anakin being so intense and lumi actually helps with her ability and with the jam from chopper. It's not perfect. Maybe not even that good. But I'd encourage it be flown just to feel the power
