So, what's the NEW Falcon Meta list??

By Papamambo, in X-Wing

Just wondering, as I don't currently have a Corvette, but what is the newest tough nut to crack?

I've heard a lot lately about pairing Chewie with 3PO, but I must have missed the list, and how people are flying it..

Anyone have suggestions? (I'll be picking up a Corvette soon, but until then, I can proxy a 3PO card)

Chicago Regionals had more then 5 people running Han with C3po, Pred, Engine upgrade, falcon title, and Luke. flew it with 3 Z's. 2 made the top 8.

The guts of the YT defensive build is C3PO and falcon title. Evade for the 1, always choose '0' with C3PO and you're guaranteed 2 evades which really make the already impressive YT's shields and hull last even longer.

Some folks run with Chewie for the crit-teflon and add R2-D2 for repairs.

This build, but I think it's potentially worth changing luke to gunner, and playing tarn mison + r7 in place of 2 zs, and having 99 so you can control the engine boosting war against another han. There was some success with that at the GA regional.

I can't see why it's a guarantee. Am I missing something?

the evade token guarantees one. Choosing zero evades with C-3PO with your 1 agility dice roll means you either roll an evade (that's the 2) or you roll a blank or focus which means you rolled zero evades and thus get a free evade (that's also the 2). So either way, 2 evades.

I ran Chewie, falcon, engine upgrade, predator, luke, 3po + 3 tala z's on saturday. The last time i had played there in may, i got my ass kicked by a lot of tie fighters and thought this was going to work well for that with predator but i ended up facing off against one guy with two bounty hunters and a omicron shuttle with vader (i got the shuttle and almost got one of the BH but he got everything else) and the second squad was luke + r2d2, etan with some stuff(sorry :T) and ten nub with flight control. I got luke but he managed to get my falcon in the last round before time which was worth a heck of a lot more than luke. I didn't do a very good job of blocking with my z's on that one and rolled terribly so it took way too long to catch luke.

I liked it but a lot of other guys there were flying named rebel pilots and ewings or all large ships so dont know if that's a good squad to keep running or not. I know i could definitely have flown way better. I've never fought against BH, let alone two. had a hard time keeping my talas in a position to contribute and its hella hard to punch through an ewing with vanilla z's when they are getting lit up by high PS pilots
