Ethan Ten build

By Neos472, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello guys i am new to the game and have picked up Rebel aces a B-wing, E-Wing, X-Wing and core set and have designed the following build and i would like some feedback on what i have designed.

Ethan A'Baht with R7-T1

Keyan Farlander with Advanced Sensors

and Ten Numb with Fleshette Torps

could you please give me some feedback on it i think i could trade those out for things like Marksman or something thank you very much.

I don't see a reason to add Marksmanship since you already have Etahn. Doubling up on the critical hit rolls doesn't do you any extra good.

I'd probably put Fire Control System on someone over the torpedoes.

Who would benefit more from Fire Control System since Farlander already has Advanced Sensors? i feel Ten would be good but I am not sure.

I'm thinking you probably should have a stress inducing mechanic on Farlander to utilize his ability although the B-Wing does have a lot of Red maneuvers where AS would allow him an Action before performing.

You need a way to stress Keyan, PTL(best choice), opportunist, which seems tailor-made for him, especially when paired with Wes, or elusiveness are all good picks. I know the Ten+Etahn combo looks good on paper, but it's expensive and Ten dies very quickly.

Alternatively, try this:

Hits very, very hard, just need to keep your enemy in arc, excellent against large ships.

If you're pairing Ten Numb with Etahn I would recommend you give him an Ion Cannon. Vs small based ships the tandem have Auto-Ion providing you don't roll all blanks.

Don't forget what the guy has, he is just starting out. So no Predator, no HLC, no Push the Limit and only one FCS.

How about this:

Etahn A'baht (32)
Keyan Farlander (29)
Kyle Katarn (3)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Ten Numb (31)
Ion Cannon (3)
Total: 99
Keyan can always remove a stress to change his <eye> results to <hit>, even if he didn't roll any <eye> so you will always have a focus due to Kyle triggering off of the stress removal.

my mate plays keyan with e2/jan so that his focus becomes an evade, effectively doubles his life span
