Check out this latest Champion list cooked up by recently crowned X-Wing World Champion, Nand Torfs. Will it be the next list to be seen at your local gaming store?
This next list brings back the fabled 2 ship build:
Han Solo – Trick Shot, Rey, Finn, Smuggling Compartment, Burnout Slam, Millennium Falcon
Poe Dameron – R2-D2, Plasma Torpedoes, Pattern Analyzer, Trick Shot, Integrated Astromech, Black One
This list feels like it blasts right out of The Force Awakens. Han Solo pilots, while Finn and Rey act as supporting crew members. Han’s pilot ability is nice, but it is not the focus of this build. With Rey as a crew, you want to go slow and bank as many Focus tokens as you can. 
The Smuggling Compartment upgrade allows you to have the Burnout Slam Illicit, which can help you get out of tight spots in an emergency. Us it wisely though, for its a one-use-only!
The real power of this list is with Poe Dameron, the Resistance’s best pilot! His Black One title gives him a defesnsive boost by getting rid of any enemy Target Locks whenever he boosts or does a barrel roll. He can help Han shed an enemy Target Lock too if he is within Rnage 1.
Integrated Astromech is another great defensive upgrade that allows you to discard your Astromech to discard a dmage card.Great for your little droid to tkae the hit rather than your ship.
R2-D2 is the ultimate healer Astromech. All you have to do is perform a green maneuver and you recover one shield. So blast into battle, then retreat to heal your shields. It’s that simple. 
Use a Pattern Analyzer on Poe to never lose an action. Since it allows you to receive a Stress token after you get an action, you can pull off Red maneuvers without worry.
That’s it for a Bro Dameron and Han list! Will this 2 ship list bring back the old days of 2 beefy ships on the X-Wing table? You be the judge!
