Oh no, I just became one of the guys to name his squad. Oh well, I think its pretty decent for a 100 point game, pretty good for focus generating an sharing. Thoughts?

It works fine until somebody dies... then it kinda breaks down.

You can say that about LOTS of lists. Ibi would likely be the best one to lose as far as efficiency goes, but she's the best fighter. Garvin passing his focus to Ibi so she can constantly be TL + F or sending back to the Crow to just stay on the board might be the least desirable, but the X-Wing may not be the first target in this squad. It would do pretty solid damage all along the way so I think I'd take a ship or two with me before I lost one.

I like that build for Ibtisam. Looks like a really good endgame dogfighter. I would try to keep her alive. I'm just not sold on the Proton Torpedoes for Garven. Even though she's already loaded up, I think Ibtisam could make better use of them: TL + focus + 1 reroll! But I'm not wild about a 42 point B-wing, so maybe Garven could take R2-D2 for survivability. Or give him an Engine Upgrade, too because Kyle can throw a Focus his way and get it back the same turn.

Just some things to think about.

P.S. I used to swear by Proton Torpedoes, but they are really fickle when used without rerolls.

4-of-a-kind beats trips

Garven Dreis 26

Dutch vander 23

Arvel crynyd 23

Ibtisam 28

No upgrades, 4 ps6 pilots. The synergy of free TLs from Dutch and free focus from Garven makes up for the lack of upgrades. Move in any order fire in any order. Fun stuff

Not to mention the fact it uses one of each type of wing.

It's hard to imagine Ibtisam being effective without some efficient way to stress her out like Elusiveness or Push the Limit. Basically, she's only gonna be stressed if you forgo her action for the turn, which makes her ability lackluster. Sure, she's already TL'd and Focused, but a regular B-Wing would be as well.

i agree, how about...

Garven Dreis 26

Dutch vander 23

Arvel crynyd 23 Green Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts 20

Ibtisam + PTL 31

ur A-Wing goes from 6 to 5 PS which is close enough to not really matter and Ibtisam gets Push the Limit.

I like the 4 ships, but a naked A and Y wing aren't very heavy hitters.

I'd consider swapping Kyle out for Dutch, giving him a turret and torps before going to that 4 ship list. Good suggestion though, having all ships at the same PS is pretty fun, and 6 is fairly high at that.

I'd run that list! But now it's Trip 6's with a 5 kicker....

Garven Dreis 26
Dutch vander 23 + Gold Squadron Pilot + ion cannon 23?
Arvel crynyd 23 Green Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts 20
Ibtisam + PTL 31

Garven Dreis 26
Dutch vander + ion Cannon 28
Ibtisam + PTL 31

15pts for upgrades?

3x shield upgrade + R2 astromechs on the X+Y?

Let's go back to that 38 point Ibtisam build. I really think she could pull some cool stunts. What could you bring to support her? Unfortunately you can't quite fit 3 Rookies.

I like this build with Dutch Vander helping with the target locks, but I have no experience with Ion cannons. Is it worth losing the target locks?

Kind of with you on this one. I think Ibi is a beat, very mobile, can take actions before a red, can always be stressed entering combat. 38 points is a lot, but not crazy considering she can last a while. The theme of this list was mainly PS 6 and synergy, but I'm open to hearing other builds

Actually I think this list will be amazing when Opportunist is out.

Ibtisam + Opportunist + Advanced Sensors + Engine Upgrade

Kyle Katarn + Blaster Turret + Recon Specialist + Moldy Crow

Garvin Dreis + Engine Upgrade

With 2 models firing at PS6, chances are all focus and evade tokens will be spent by the time Ibtisam is up to bat.

All 3 are PS6, actually.

I know, but 2 models at PS6 are firing before Ibtisam (who is also PS6) but with Opportunity wants to fire at like PS5.9. Opportunity is one of the cards that will see a giant shift in the meta to PS4 generics with EPT. Black Squadron Pilots, Saber Squadron and Royal Guards will all be rocking Opportunity. Its totally the cleanup batter card.

I caught your drift, very clever considering the 6's go in any order the player choses

6,6,6,5 build should just be called squad 23

Given that all the best moves on a Bwing's dial are red I don't think it would be too hard to stress her out. Recently watched the world finals again and at the end of the game the guy is basically doing a 2 K everysingle turn. Doesnt really mater that she loses her action as she is likely to get either a target lock or a focus, or both! I really like the look of that 4 ships squad, really interesting to fly I'd imagine. Sure the Y has no ion but he is solid support and with Arvel doing the blocking up front it could be very effective.
