Can you kill Biggs?

By kellyj, in X-Wing

Fought against this one tonight:

Biggs + R2F2

Garvan Dries (X Wing)

Cracken (Z95)

Blue Sqd (B Wing) + B-Wing/E2 + Jan Ors.

Simple enough: Biggs uses R2 to get an extra Agility.

Cracken shoots and gives Biggs an action. Biggs takes Focus. Jan Ors turns it into an Evade.

Garvan shoots hoping to use Focus to then give Biggs Focus.

Biggs sits their with 3 Agility (4 at R3) plus an Evade token and possibly a Focus token.

I ended up killing Biggs with my PS 9 and 10 pilots (veteran on PS7 and 8)...shooting before the token exchange could start...but still ended up losing in the end when he was able to focus down 2 of my 4 ships before I killed Biggs.

Still, against lower or equal PS ratings this "Super-Biggs" could be a huge PITA.

Man this sounds really familiar...

A very cool list actually, a little dependant on formation flying, flankers might hurt it, but there's enough redundancy to fight through action denial. Not sure how it would handle a phantom or Soontir though.

Yesssssss....verrrry familiar....

hhmmmmmmmmm

Whats up bud! That was an epic match.

Add Kyle Hwk for third focus and you are set :D

The ultimate synergy list has to be:

Kyle

- Blaster Turret

- Recon Specialist

Garven

Dutch

- Blaster Turret

Cracken

Everyone focuses besides Garven who TLs. Kyle gives Garven one focus, Cracken shoots and gives an action to Dutch who TLs and gives a TL to Kyle. Garven shoots and gives focus to Kyle or Dutch.

One Blaster turret with TL focus, one X-wing with TL focus, one blaster turret with TL and one Z-95 with either focus or TL (depending on preferences).

Real pain to fly after two rounds, but otherwise it's a tennis match with actions. ^^

Sounds like a job for Carnor Jax.

Biggs Darklighter (25)

R2-F2 (3)

Stealth Device (3)


Airen Cracken (19)

Veteran Instincts (1)


Garven Dreis (26)


Rebel Operative (16)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Jan Ors (2)


Total: 100




5 green dice, 2 focus, 1 evade.


11 attack dice (though 3 are ion).


1 PS 10 fighter, and 1 ion turret. Chances against Phantom: 4/10.


Overall strength of list: Meh. But not terrible.

Interesting idea with Cracken. I flew something similar tonight using biggs w r2d2, roark, b-wing with jan, and an awing. Went against a squad that completely beat me in pilot skill, but roark helped mitigate that.

I will have to try that list with cracken and see if it works

Kyle+Blaster turret is the opposite of synergy. Always has been.

I'm looking forward to a bunch of Black squadron all running ruthlessness.

Laugh that off Biggs!

In regards to the question on can you kill Biggs?

Are the pyramids a mistake?

Not necessarily, since he gets to fire it with TL, while the other focus benefits Garven first, and then Garven can give it back to Kyle or give it to Dutch. So Kyle will fire his Blaster Turret with at least a TL, and perhaps a focus as well, depending on who gets Garven's focus. So no, I would disagree with you, BT does not negate Kyle's synergy here.
