Experimental List - To B ORS Not to B

By SableGryphon, in X-Wing

Is this the Star Wars Shakespeare?

Also, can you use Ibi's ability both on the offense and on the defense or just once a round?

If i was to read this in Magic legalese i see:

"When attacking or defending" - trigger for any of these events, and would say its used for all of her defending rolls AND her attacking roll.

You can use Ibti's ability on every attack or defense she makes as long as she has a stress. So if she gets attacked by Darth Vader, she can use Elusiveness to reroll an attack die. She gets a stress. Then she can use her ability to reroll her defense die on that attack. And the next one. And when she shoots she gets to reroll an attack die. Then any further attack against her that round allows her to reroll her defense die. It's like she has two evade dice when she has stress.

Is this a Dagger I see before me? Its blaster turned towards me? Come let me crit thee.

Alas poor Yoda, Well I knew him yeeesss? Hmmm.

Howl runner! And let slip the Academies of war.

I've been thinking a bit about this list.

If, come Rebel Aces, you upgrade the generic to Keyan with Elusiveness as well. You'd have 2 points left to give Keyan an FCS. I wouldn't drop something from the thorny shield you've made in the ORS.

Keyan isn't hard to stress, and if he ends in the sights of a higher PS you can trigger the elusiveness to stress him which fuels his attack making him an undesirable target for people like Wedge. Especially if you do decide to drop APL from the ORS to give Keyan a Sensor Jammer as well.

I too have been pondering Rebel Aces, but I'm more interested in the Crew slot. If it costs 0 points, as I hope it does, I will put two Tacticians in the list, one per B-Wing. Then, I can hover at Range 2 and not only attack, but stress my opponent, which will make things even harder for the poor pilots.

I just found out my FLGS will hold an AAIA event and I'm sorely tempted to take this list.

Maybe C-3PO on Ibby after Rebel Aces comes out?

This is what I've been thinking, but I need to know if there's an upcharge for the crew slot. I'm trying to have no more than 98 points for initiative. Still, I do love the idea that the stress generated by Elusiveness is not actually from that so much as C-3P0 complaining about how they are all going to die and the blue fish lady trying to fly the ship instead of tearing him apart.
