Wedge and Friends

By AlecKumbier, in X-Wing Battle Reports

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this list. I'm going to a tourney soon and thought I would try to get some feedback, what do you think?

Wedge Antilles

-Proton Torpedoes

-R5-K6

-Swarm Tactics

Dutch Vander

-Ion Cannon Turret

-R5 Astromech

Garven Dreis

-Proton Torpedoes

-R2-D2

Thanks for your time!

Wouldn't R5-K6 on Dutch make more sense?

Dutch get's TL, and gives to Wedge.

Dutch rolls die for R5-K6's ability, and gets a TL. Dutch's ability kicks in again, and he gives away another TL.

I don't usually play Rebel, but would that work?

That probably would work better, not how I envisioned it I'm my head, but thanks. I guess my main concern is if it's too fragile? I don't want to get wiped out too early.

I've had success with Wedge using Expose. Hook him up with a stealth device so he doesn't lose the agility (unless he gets hit). The key is good flying and trying to get him into range one of enemy ships.

I also prefer more ships on the battlefield and have done well with 3 xwings and 1 awing, but build differently.

I have a 5 ship rebel build im going to try tomorrow

2 x rookie pilots

2 x prototype pilots

1 x gold squadron / r2 and turret

Wookie hunter, That is a slick list.

Set Wedge up with Push the Limit and an R2 unit. It makes him independently nasty. (33)

Drop Garven and get Luke with an R2 unit and Push the Limit. (32)

Drop the Y-Wing and get Biggs with R2-f2 and Stealth device (31)

Add a proton torp or shield upgrade to Luke or Wedge as you see fit.

This is a versatile and deadly squad.

I was just trying to field as many ships as possible, it has 26 hp and 13 attack, only 11 defense

oh and the hopes is to break the swarm apart and fight me in 2 different locations. One with an x-wing and an a-wing and the other bigger fight with the rest.

I have been running a Wedge and pals list since I started playing. Initially it was:

Wedge, Luke, and Dutch, with a variety of upgrades, I know ion turret and shield, dont remember what else.

Then came

Wedge with PTL, shield, R2

Luke with shield, R2

Biggs with shield, R2D2.

I had some really good success with this list. Generally ran Wedge and Biggs around together, and Luke would split off to act as a lone wolf type guy. But I am enjoying the following variant:

Wedge with PTL, shield, R2

Biggs with R2, R2D2

Tycho with PTL, Stealth

Tycho is overall harder to kill than Luke I think, and with his maneuvering and stress options, plays lone wolf a lot better. I have mostly been playing against an A-wing/Han solo list with this, to limited success, but I feel against other builds I could do better.
