Hey there,

I am thinking about fielding a Fat Han list for my first tournament. After thinking about for a while I came up with a decent setup but later figured out, that the Paul Heaver set up from worlds is very similar but would probably be stronger: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/188549/fathanwithtalas

However, a friend of mine came up with this: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/191390/tripleevadefathan

I think the second variant might be stronger. I feel the predator reroll from the first variant is a little counter synergetic with Han's pilot ability since you can't reroll a die more than once. Moreover, tanking hits with R2D2 starts working once you have no more shields and may cost you a bad crit damage. The second variant can take 3 guaranteed evades each turn. You can use evade action, push the limit focus and take another evade with Jan Ors and finally use C3P0 to get a third evade. If you are not shot at by too many foes you can even keep the focus and still get 2 evades. The drawback obviously would be the stress.

What do you guys think is better? Am I missing something?

Kind regards,

Depends on how stressfull your meta is - PTL fat han is going to be more predictable than the predator variant, and in a world of tactician, mara jade, rebel captive, flechette cannon/torpedo PTL gets shut down pretty hard.

Hm, thx for the input. I honestly have no idea how stressful the local meta is since I usually just play with friends. My friends at least tend to not have much stressing things in their lists. What do you guys think how are the chances of getting wrecked by stressy stuff?

i ran ptl on fat cheewie with leebo as his side kick and it worked out well vs stress lists in my tourney i faced 2 what you have to remember is only use ptl when there isnt going to be an oppratunity for them to stress you or when having the extra action that round is worth being double stressed and having no action the next round. i ran c3p0 and kyle on cheewie and i ran jan on leebo. kyle is really strong against the current stress meta especially if you run ptl because your guaranteed that focus.
