Which Rebel squad would you pick?

By Shooter Mcgavin2, in X-Wing

Wedge with swarm

garvin

rookiesx2

Two separate powerful groups to hopefully spread out opponents

Naturally Wedge swarms rookie1 and Garvin gives focus to Rookie 2 giving two potent groups. Also a chance for initiative in which case swarm will provide an even greater advantage.

Or:

Luke with R2D2

Garvin

Rookiesx2

A much more defensive build to hopefully last long enough to do its damage and wear down opponents.

Just curious which you would pick and why?

Personally I like the Luke build. Luke with R2-D2 is solid and should last a good long time. I just love Luke for his defensive capabilites.

Of the two I'd go with choice one but I wouldn't play it the way you described. I'd use Swarm on Garvin whenever possible to give Wedge a Focus combined with a Target Lock to get some one shot kills.

What about this one:

Luke + Swarm

Garven

Rookie

Gold Sq. + Ion Cannon

i like wedge with swarm. keep the rookies close and pile up the kills. i agree that Garven + wedge with swarm is pretty nice synergy.

its hard not to play r2 tho. looks like in the 4 ship build u go with either Garven or rookie + r2 (equiped to Wedge most likely)
