Arvel Crynyd — A-Wing
23
Keyan Farlander — B-Wing
Wes Janson — X-Wing
Le t me know your thoughts. I ran a version of this list with Dutch instead of Arvel and had got top 6th in a local tournament. but I think the A wing gives some new life to the list. Wes and Arvel set up Keyan for some major hits.
You know, I'ts not a bad idea I think. But I think I want EU instead of Sensor Jammer on Keyan. As the weak link is actually Wes.
Hell even VI + Hull would be fine imo.
With a big emphasis on blocking
I like flying Keyan with Stay on Target (2) and Advanced Sensors (3); you set your dial to 2, perform your action, change course to follow your target, get a stress, and then spend that stress when you attack. It would also save you 3 points you could put on Wes.

Wes in my brain is a necessary ship as he strips tokens giving Keyan a reliable souse of stress for a free focus. it also pulls focus tokens making Keyan's jamer come into play a tad more. but I like the idea of EU. I may have to toy with it.
Thanks

Stay on target never crossed my mind Thanks! this I may have to try.
+1 stay on target with Keyan. Great upgrade for him and is the best use of the card in my experience. Getting a full range of 2 maneuvers including a K-turn is amazing.
I love Wes as well. VI is a must for him so he can shoot and strip tokens even from your opponents big gun. VI and Engine Upgrade are my go-to's for him. Moving last and being able to boost for line of fire is great. Arc dodging also keeps him alive a little longer.
I guess if you are no longer using Opportunist on Keyan you don't necessarily need Wes though. You could grab Wedge and save a point on VI and keep EU. Keyan has done great for me in the past so starting with him with SoT and AdvS you can go anywhere from there.
Striker, I like your thinking!
In my experience, Wedge has a bull's-eye on him from the start, which may mean you could get more longevity out of Wes.
If you're putting SoT on keyan, but not EU, why not also put bw/e2 and navigator on him as well? Then you can set your dial to whatever you want.
