Michiel's Let's Discuss: Rexler Brath #13

By MichielR, in X-Wing

Yea Rexler probably can't flip splash damage, based on his wording.

Has anyone run Rexler with ptl eu and Yorr?

Hmmm....interesting. What about adding fleet officer when Wave 5 hits to Yorr....

I've pretty much been waiting for wave 5 to play brarh for just that purpose

Wow, I have to theorycraft on that but that seems like a terrible amount of fun.

The only downside right now is that Fleet Officer does require an action and gives a stress, so there's a bit of juggling to do between a PTL Brath and a Fleet Officer Yorr.

But still, the range on the ability is pretty okay, so it should only be a hassle of getting the order down right.

Well, if you are using Yorr to take the PTL stress from Brath, you aren't going to be using Fleet Officer. So you won't be using both in the same turn since Brath has the higher PS.

How not?

- Yorr moves first and 'Fleet-offices' Brath

- Brath then moves and Pushes the limit

- Yorr Absorbs Brath's stress from pushing.

- Yorr ends the round with 2 stress.

Add a cheap Black-Squadron 'Wingman' or two to act as stressinks for Yorr and there we go.

I don't know if i would be running the PTL variant, my plan was originally go shutte with fleet officer and Brath. I was spending the extra points on yorr just to make sure Brath doesn't get screwed over by stress and can always use his ability.

You know.. I never thought of using wingman to be a stress valve for Yorr, that's pretty crafty.
