Is it time for Lando's redemption?

By Scizzler, in X-Wing

No one can deny that with the release of the corvette, there are some AWESOME crew member cards and it has me thinking of new builds to try. I must confess, Lando has always sat neglected in my box, despite having one cool space cape. These are some lists I've come up with so far:

Lando: VI - Han Solo and Nunb - 48

Wedge - 29

Tarn - 23

This build gives you two PS9 and Tarn who can be a late game changer

Lando: Han - 46

Biggs -25

Wedge -29

Biggs will divert some damage the first few turns of combat, hopefully allowing you to take some dice away from your opponent.

Lando- EH C3P0 and Nunb - 50

Wedge - 29

Rookie - 21

Your opponent will focus down Wedge first, but the build gives Lando a little more resiliency for the end game.

If you have any feedback or if I'm missing anything let me know!

I forgot:

Lando - Han - 46pts

Garven - 26pts

Dutch - Ion - 28pts

For action shares all around!

I was actually considering a Lando/Cracken build for Imdaar, should I be so fortunate as to make it to the final table (not going to happen, but I can dream, can't I?)

Dream on! I believe in you :)

Dream until your dream comes true.

Fly with me, fly for the year. Fly with the laughter, and fly through the tears. Fly with me ; if it's just for today, maybe tomorrow the force will take you away....

I just got into the game so my combat experience is low but I've been doing a lot of research. I'm fielding Imperials but my brother wanted to use his X-Wing of the core set with the Falcon. I recommended grabbing another X-Wing. He's going to pick up the minis tomorrow, but what do you think of the following?

Lando

Biggs

Rookie

I feel like Lando and Biggs fit really well together, especially if you give Lando Draw your Fire. Lando feeds Biggs evade tokens and Biggs keeps the hate off Lando, who helps soak some of the hits that Biggs might suffer to keep the majority of fire focused on him.

Does that make sense? This is all in theory to me, I have no practical game experience yet.

How in the world does Lando give Biggs and Evade Token?

I'm gonna guess he meant Focus tokens.

Lando has always been good, so no redemption is necessary.

I totally agree Lando it's a good pilot, and give to your fleet a good support with the free action that could give, and also he has a Pilot skill upgrade, so it's a complete pilot, greettings.

I recently ran

Lando in Millenium Falcon with Recon Specialist and C-3P0

Dutch Vander

Jan Ors

This build made for some synergy as well as some options. Lando could go offensive with the recon specialist and get focus for both attack or defense, or he could go defensive with the Evade action and C-3P0

Ping Ponging with Dutch who would first focus, the target lock when Lando handed out a free action which then gave Lando a TL as well. Jan would just hand out bonus attack die to the one needing it while flying green to remove stress.

Unfortunaltey Jan got killed early, but the rest worked ok. I faced Vader, Kir Kanos, Carnor Jax and Dark Curse, so my opponent kind of messed with my focusing. But in the end it was Lando vs. Vader.

I just ran Evade + guessing 0 evades for C-3P0 which meant Vader only stood a chance of dammaging me on Range 1. I on the other hand could easily damage him and once he got to Range 1 I has 4 dice against his 3. Lando came out with a few shields still remaining.

Didn't make final table, but squeaked in at number 4 (out of 12, so not too shabby), and got a Z-95, so Lando/Cracken will happen

Ran the below list over the Weekend:

Lando

Marksmanship

Nien Nub (however you spell it)

Chewbaca

VI

C-3P0

R2-D2

Millennium Falcon

I didn't lose any of the regular matches (I lost the bonus round, so got second place but that round I had to make a new list using the wave 4 ships). Lando allowed Chewbaca to be offensive by allowing a Focus and a Target Lock. By time they get close (most times they never got close) to taking down Lando I have killed around 2 to 3 ships. I was surprised to find how well this worked and how hard it was to kill Chewy, also having them both at 7 PS allowed me to pretty much run the board and kill most ships before they even got a shot off.
