Chewie the droidsitter

By Chris R, in X-Wing

Looks like Chewie with C-3PO and R2 as crew and the Falcon title can make for a powerful defensive YT-1300. Won't pack the punch Han does, but it will sure last a while. What kind of list would you guys build around it?

Hmm...what about the classic double YTs that's very popular in the meta?

Chewie and the two droids, how are we not naming this "Let the Wookiee win"?

And of course, let's add another droid into the mix:

Give Leebo the Outrider and an HLC and Chewie DTF and see where that takes you. Especially if you give Leebo Lone Wolf as well and keep the two seperate.

Doesn't R2-D2 crew work against Chewie's ability? I think he has to take any crits that R2 dishes out.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Chewie's not R2proof.

Yes R2 does give Chewie crits. The thing is chewie ensures that all damage cards are initially received fave down so that R2 can use them. It also makes sure you don't take ant crits before using R2. If it is between risking a few crits and keeping your YT-1300 on the field for an extra 6HP in damage I would say it is worth it. Some dispute whether or not you can even use R2 if you don't have a face down damage card so if you go with Han and you take some critical hits those are a few less damage cards for R2 to use.
