Will this Bluebacca fly at Imdaar Alpha?

By thebilliam, in X-Wing

First - are cards from huge ship (Tantive IV) legal for the tourney?

Cause I'm thinking:

Chewie (50 pts)

Expert handling

Weapons Engineer

Han Solo

Falcon

2X Blue Squadron with AS. (25 pts each)

Will eat a lot of lasers, but strong hitting potential for downing ships.

Wish I could do the Blues as Daggers though...

Yes, those cards are tournament legal. Only cards with the epic symbol next to them are not legal for non-epic play.

Seems like a good list to me! I played the Chewie + WE + Han + Falcon + Expert Handling once and didn't do well, but I think it was more from bad flying than that build. One thing that surprised me was that Expert Handling really wasn't too useful for me - the stress really hurt! I think in the hands of a more skilled pilot it could work well, though.

IMO dump the falcon title and leave 1 point for init bid. With han + 2x TL and barrel roll, how many times will you be using an evade token? Blues vs daggers really only comes into play when flying against similar rebel mooks, and the choice of initiative can be worth a point.

Yeah three action options in a tourney fight, two from points, does not seem like a good use of pts.

But how would init benefit in a 5/2/2 PS list? Shoot first against other 2s... Good against rebels probably?

Say youre flying against blues w/ HLC and rookies, or HSF w/ rookies, you want to see where they go before you move your blues with AS.

What about Chewbacca with EH MF Tiltle and Luke and 2 Blues with FCS?
