Between barrel rolling and evading when would you be taking the tl to tap Han?

I know that sable ran a chewy list with Han during the alpha event. I'll let him post the particulars but it did not include expert handling. Not sure about c3po. I did face one chewy build with c3po and he negated one damage. But I focused chewy down really quick.

If I were to put Solo in a list, I was thinking something like this:

Lando + Solo + Falcon title + Nien

Dutch + R7-T1 + ICT

GSP + Refit + Title + PtL + VI

yeah i c ur point - bit action hvy now i look at it again. expert handling is more for the endgame but chewie needs to get there 1st eh?

how about...

Chewbacca + Push the Limit + Han Solo + C3-P0 + Falcon Title (51)

Dagger Squadron (24)

Dagger Squadron (24)

Total=99pts.

could even go...

Chewbacca + Push the Limit + Han Solo + C3-P0 + Falcon Title + Engine Upgrade (55)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)

I like it. Maybe drop engine and give the blues fcs. I really like fcs as tl+f usually results in 2-4 hits depending on the range.

I've had a LOT of fun (and got to finals in two Imdaar tournaments) with:

Chewbacca (42)
Opportunist (4)
Han Solo (2)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Sensor Jammer (4)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Sensor Jammer (4)

Total: 100

The Blues be jammin'. The tanky assault fighter become super tanky. This can cause quite the heartache as they start losing hits or being forced to use focus. Meanwhile, Chewy has Han Solo, with really does increase you damage output, and Opportunist, which does the same (and encourages higher PS ships not to use focus against the B-Wings). 100 points of heavy damage, heavy armor craft which is highly resistant to criticals. Yes please. :)

How did it fare against lower-PS pilots?

A little bit of difficulty in getting Opportunist off, but anyone lower PS that chewy I could kill and prevent them from getting a shot. Not really a tactic so much as a fundamental mechanic of the game of course. :) Still, there's not a lot of synergy here. It's not a list perfectly crafted to maximize opportunist. But it's a decently solid list and the lack of synergy means that there's not a keystone to the list. Many lists, if a certain ship dies, the whole list starts to break down. Here, the B-Wings are solid alone, as is Chewy. I've lost twice with it, one through bad piloting on my part and the other due to dice. Most games I had a rather sound victory.

How did it fare against lower-PS pilots?

I'm guessing it would fare exceedingly well against a low-ps fleet. Its' toughest match-up is probably a Howlrunner Swarm, or possibly a Cluster-Jonus fleet.

It utterly crushed both. Howlrunner swarm just couldn't punch through the Sensor Jammers and Chewy was just picking off TIEs (I hit it from an angle so ranges/arcs were all weird for them, which is how you need to hit a TIE Swarm). It was one of my quickest matches. Jonus didn't do well either, because Chewy moves after the Bombers (other than Jonus), meaning that at most one of them had a target lock on Chewy and the TLs on the Blues started losing hits to Sensor Jammer. Both lists didn't do well. It was the PS4 Rebel lists that mostly gave me difficulty.

great intel. Thanks Sable G. think im gonna dust off my sensor jammers. :)

I've been play testing blues with sensor jammers against Han Shoots First with gunner and marksman. I think that will test the jammers to their extremes. Action denial on Han is pivotal. But those blues negating the x wing attack and I've been successful. It's been close. But I'm trying to break my list. I have on a couple of occasions but those jammers are nasty. Costly though.

I'd love to play test against a swarm and watch them not be able to get a howl runner reroll on one die. And force them to give up on evading unless they don't want to ever hit anything.
