Drea Renthal, Scum Y pilot

By Hexdot, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I am flying Scum, quite green with this faction, and Drea looks like and interesting pilot

Not a bad pilot to launch torpedoes, and equiped with an Unhinged Astromech to make green 3 turns he is worth 22 pts.

Unfirtunately, no Skill Icon, but as a House Rule we equip named pilots with a Pilot Upgrade card if you pay an extra point, not so bad.

Drea + Unhinged Astromech + 2 Proton Torpedoes, 32 pts.

Your opinion? And Drea...male or female?

Drea's a she. She's actually an old flame of Lando Calrissian's.

She's a very good pilot - one of the few who do very nicely with Torpedo secondaries.

I wouldn't take the Unhinged Astromech - that forces you to fly at "ludicrous speed", whilst the idea approach with torps is closing slowly to get a range 3 shot.

R4-B11 synergises well with her abilities, allowing you to chain target locks to devastating effect.

Move up, target lock the opposing fighter.

Spend target lock 1 - fire proton torpedoes

Gain stress and target lock 2

Spend target lock 2 - reroll attack dice

Gain stress and target lock 3

Defender rolls defence dice

Spend target lock 3 - reroll defence dice

Gain stress and target lock 4.....

Obviously, after two turns of this, Drea will never take another action the whole game, but equally, after two proton torpedoes with rerolls of both attack and defence dice, something on the other side of the board should be thoroughly dead.

Excelent ! Deadly

She'll be pretty good once Extra Munitions comes out.

Only 30 points with 2 Proton Torps and the Unhinged. I still like Unhinged on her. You can always 1 forward to clear the stress. However, usually after the initial shot you are going to be at range 1 anyway. Can't shoot the torps then. A 3 move might get her out of dodge for another pass.
