Double HWK + Swarm

By Replay, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi everyone, if in my squad have Jan Ors with swarm + Roark Garnet, can I treat both like 12 skill value?

I think this because both ability Roark Garnet and Swarm Tactics on Jan Ors say "at start of combat phase", so if I can choose which effect resolve before, I use Roark Garnet abilty to consider Jan Ors like a 12 Pilot skill, then I use Swarm Tactics to consider 12 Roark Garnet.

Yup, that is all correct.

Assuming a 4 ship build, you're probably better off bumping your 3rd ship to PS12, and your 4th to PS8, depending what their original PS was.

Then you'd shoot, 12, 8, 8, 4.

12, 12, 8, 8 surely?

Or take a bunch of Green Squadron A-Wings and put Swarm on all of them, and boost every ship in your fleet to PS12...

It doesn't have a ton of firepower, but when everything fires first...

That's extremely unlikely to get. Would only work if you had roark, jan, and two other PS8 ships.

In my example it would be something like this:

Ship 1 - Jan - PS 8

Ship 2 - Roark - PS 4

Ship 3 - Generic - PS1-4

Ship 4 - Generic - PS1-4

Roark gives PS 12 to one of the generics, then Jan gives PS 8 to the other generic (or possibly Roark if one of the generics is also PS 4).

Very interesting, think you to all. I see the squad with refit upgrade card, I know that this cards are inside rebel ace expansion. In Usa is just arrived? Here in Italy we are waiting tantive IV and all wave IV.

That has been a while getting to Italy. We have them here in New Zealand. :(

Rebel Aces is not yet out in North America. Sometime soon, by the end of August hopefully. Wave 4 was out several weeks ago, and the Tantive & Transport before that.

Still surprising that the Transport and Tantive haven't hit Italy though. Even here in NZ, we're only a couple of weeks after US release, sometimes only a week.

I was assuming you would be running multiple swam tactics... my bad!
