Thoughts on build.

By Caliber42, in X-Wing

I've been playing several months now and am looking to get involved in the Assault at Imdaar event. I'm throwing together some build ideas and have used this pretty extensively in home games and been pretty lucky with it, so here goes...

Han Solo

-Saboteur, Luke Skywalker, Millennium Falcon, Shield Upgrade, and Draw Their Fire*

Biggs Darklighter

-R2-D2, Proton Torps, and Shield Upgrade

I generally fly Biggs close to the Falcon and use him as a buffer. I spend the majority of my actions using Saboteur, and Evade when needed. Han and Luke give me plenty of dice options, Shields for a bit of added toughness, and Draw Their Fire if I want to keep Biggs around a little longer.

Am I missing something? Too many eggs in the basket?

This build is going to have a tough time beating 4+ ship builds. You're only throwing 6-8 dice each round, whereas a XXBB build will roll 12-16 dice against your low agility ships. If you get focus fired, you won't last very long.
