Etahn numbs the pain - Advice/Changes

By JamieSpace, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi,

So I thought this up last night with my current cards

Etahn A'baht - 32

R7 Astromech -2

Ten Numb -31

Autoblaster -5

Advanced Sensors -3

Proto Pilot - 17

Chardaan refit - (-2)

Bandit -12

I would swap the A-Wing for another bandit and use the point save for more upgrades on Etahn but I don't currently have more than one Z

Anyway I like how Ten & Etahn link up. Anyone run something similar or better?

Autoblaster + E'tahn seem at cross-purposes....why not just go with mangler on Ten?

Also, FWIW, I would take a proto a-wing over a z-95 any day of the week. Such a better ship in every way. But ymmv of course. Lastly, I think advanced sensors is better than R7 on E'tahn. If you have 2 of that card, changing to mangler on Ten means you can just squeeze it in...

It wont trigger every time but say you roll 2-3 hits with the auto blaster, you can change one to an un-cancelled crit (E'tahn dependent) and the other 1-2 hits stay as un-cancelled hits (by dice) - That's what I believe anyway , sorry if I misunderstood. I can see that the mangler is a good option on Ten tho again its mostly due to me not having caught up on scum ships yet. I only really started 6 months ago and my wallet isn't too happy atm haha.

Cheers on the AS tip, might give that ago and I also agree with you on the A-Wing, they can cause a real nuisance of themselves.

I tried this build recently:

Ten Numb (Predator, Advanced Sensors)

Etahn (R2-D2, Push the Limit, Advanced Sensors)

Green (Push the Limit, Chardaan Refit)

99 points

I really liked how Etahn boosts the attack of the other two. Even the A-Wing became much more of a threat. And Ten Numb's ability pairs perfectly with Etahn's. Etahn should be the obvious target but R2-D2 keeps him alive, as well as the Barrel Roll action. Actually, in both my games with this list (both wins too!) the Barrel Roll action was the most useful and used one. Having Advanced Sensors was also crucial. I faced two Scum & Villainy builds:

Prince Xizor (Predator, Advanced Sensors, Inertial Dampeners, Autothrusters, Virago title)

Guri (Bodyguard, Autothrusters)

Binayre x2

99 points

and

IG-88B (Push the Limit, Mangler Cannon, Advanced Sensors, Autothrusters, IG-2000 title)

IG-88C (Push the Limit, Heavy Laser Cannon, Advanced Sensors, Autothrusters, IG-2000 title)

99 points

Cheers admat, I like your list a lot. I may drop the Z and boost the Awing up and add R2-D2 & AS on E'tahn.

I will try and keep the autoblaster as I would like to try and get some use out of it!
