How good are those Han/jan lists?

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

Saw a couple of those in top 32 at worlds. 2 ships no 3po on han? Seems so fragile. How do they play and how strong are they?

Not so good against swarms.

They are most strong in timed games where they can survive and pick apart a few ships for a victory. They shine with engine upgrades on both and forcing the enemy to take bad lines in an attempt to chase them. You need to be good at asteroid placement and forcing your enemy to take a bad approach on your ships.

Not so good against swarms.

That really depends... they can handle swarms if you can keep them separated with asteroids. But yes Swarms are certainly a counter, but I'd say tough firepower good enough to kill Jan while surviving Han is a better Counter.
