Possible Falcon Builds for Regionals

By Outrageous, in X-Wing Battle Reports

I'm looking at a couple of possible builds for regionals, but wanted to get get some feedback. Keep in mind the local metagame at this point has one person running 2 Firesprays (with 2 TIE's) and one person running a Howlrunner swarm. Who who knows who else will show up.


Build 1:

Chewie
- Gunner
- Falcon title card

Wedge

Gold Squadron Pilot
- Ion Cannon Turret

Build 2:

Han Solo
- Gunner
- Chewie
- Falcon title card

Gold Squadron Pilot
- Ion Cannon Turret

Rookie X-Wing

I like this squad if I'm flying Chewie. Biggs will soak up a lot of hits before he goes down. Keep the other two ships in range 1 of him. Focus fire on the enemy ships and you should be killing them whilst they try and down Biggs.

Total Squad Points: 100

Pilot: Biggs Darklighter
X-Wing (25)
Upgrades:

  • R2-F2 (3)
  • Stealth (3)


Pilot: Rookie Pilot 1
X-Wing (21)
Upgrades:

  • No upgrades Selected


Pilot: Chewbacca
YT-1300 (42)
Upgrades:

  • Millenium Falcon (1)
  • Gunner (5)

If you know you are going to see some tie swarms why not go with an assault missile?

And if you have the one point for the falcon upgrade, why not spend it on Draw Their Fire to keep Biggs alive longer?

Because i think the utility of the Ion Canon would prove useful. But maybe I should go with an assault missile in case.

You want a Falcon build? Okay so lets try this:

Han Solo 46

- Gunner 5

- Millenium Falcon1

Chewbacca 42

- Gunner 5

- Draw their fire 1

Total 100 points.

Okay you need to bu 2 Falcons and 2 Slaves for the list you need to buy, but i kinda like it as far as i have tested it.

The double gunner makes up for the lack of firepower for only having 2 ships. And if you focus something that is not another falcon or slave, you might kill it right away. Well usually han shoots first too and chewie stillgoes before generic pilots…

-Chewie

-Biggs + R2D2

-Wedge

=100 points
