The results are in from the latest big name Fantasy Flight event for the X-Wing miniatures game: the Jakku Open. Come take a look at the top lists!
These lists are pantheons of the current meta and show that certain builds have a firm grip upon the top echelons of competitive X-Wing play.
1st Place List
The Inquisitor – TIE v/1 + Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Proton Rockets
Soontir Fel – Royal Guard TIE + Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Stealth Device
Omicron Group Pilot – Emperor Palpatine
Imperial might makes right! The Emperor is on top and is there to stay. This list features 2 incredibly dodgey aces that can dodge all but the strongest attacks from the enemy. If any do get through, the Emperor is there to ensure that his vengeance will be swift!
2nd Place List
Contracted Scout – Deadeye + Extra Munitions + Proton Torpedoes + Guidance Chips + R4 Agromech + 4‑LOM
Contracted Scout – Deadeye + Extra Munitions + Plasma Torpedoes + Guidance Chips + Overclocked R4
Contracted Scout – Deadeye + Extra Munitions + Plasma Torpedoes + Guidance Chips + Overclocked R4
The dreaded and much feared triple U-Boat list. This list has a twist on it in the choice of Astromech slots that reflect a different style of play. Overclocked R4 allows you to gain a focus token after spending a focus token for the price of one stress token. This allows you to spend a focus for munitions, grab another focus and a stress, and use it to modify your munitions rolls. Seem legit and 4-LOM is a coup de grace on any weakened enemy ship.
3rd Place List
Black Squadron Pilot – Crack Shot
Black Squadron Pilot – Crack Shot
Black Squadron Pilot – Crack Shot
Black Squadron Pilot – Crack Shot
Black Squadron Pilot – Crack Shot
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot
Whoa that’s a lot of ships! This is the ultimate swarm list that features 7 ships! This list would require massive amounts of practice and concentration. More power to the player that fielded this list, because tournament fatigue is a real thing! Believe me when I say it. This list has 5 Crack Shots that could burn down any ship in the game. Just ask the A-Wing Crack Swarm.
4th Place List
Dengar – Engine Upgrade + Predator + Tactician + Glitterstim + R5‑P8 + Punishing One
Guri – Sensor Jammer + Lone Wolf + Autothrusters + Virago + Cloaking Device
A list more to my liking! Guri is an amazing ship, but suffers from a low pilot skill. This is the new Super Guri build that is incredibly difficult to take down. Lone Wolf, Autothrusters, and Sensor Jammer makes her super tanky, and Cloaking Device is there to use when you get into a tight spot. Best to just turtle up and weather the storm. Dengar is an amazing ship, and becomes more maneuverable with an Engine Upgrade aboard. Tactician offers a control element to the list, and R5-P8 is the icing on the cake that just dares ships to shoot at Dengar.
Well that’s the results of the Jakku Open! Are you up to the challenge to try your luck at one of Fantasy Flight’s premier event?
Keep practicing , fly casual, and remember to always have fun!
