By Slanesh, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Chewbacca (58) YT-1300 (42), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)


Corran Horn (42) E-Wing (35), R2-D2 (4), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1)



So Im bored with Dash, but still wanna play Corran. Do you think I should take this to regionals or stick to Dash?


I dont have a c3po.


Until the beginning of May, I was a major Imperial player, using Soonter and Cherpie. Now? After two regionals loosing to Han/Chewie/Dash/Leebo combo's (either 2 ship builds or mini-swarms), I have since switched over to Chewie and Corran. While Corran Horn's build doesn't change, there are a couple of ways that I have played with Chewie. One is more offensively built, and the other is much more defensively built.

Corran Horn (48) - Push The Limit, Fire-Control System, R2-D2, Engine Upgrade

PTL, FCS, and R2 are somewhat standard. I absolutely love Engine Upgrade on him so that he has some basic ways to arc dodge, or even use a green maneuver to clear stress/recover a shield and the boost/barrel roll to get into an acceptable firing arc.

OFFENSIVE Chewie

Chewbacca (52) - Veteran Instincts, C-3PO, Gunner, Millennium Flacon

I put VI on so that Chewie has an attempt at an Initiative bid over Brobots, and even tie a lot of the PS7 scum lists, and hope to win initiative. Gunner, of course, has it's own use. Generally, I will use the title to Evade each turn, and getting a 2nd with C-3PO, which is what most players do with their Fat Han's. I put Chewie in instead of Han Solo just so Corran can be fully upgraded in ways that I enjoy playing him.

DEFENSIVE Chewie

Chewbacca (52) - Push The Limit, C-3PO, Lando Clarissian, Millennium Falcon

Using PTL and Lando, you have the ability to generate three Evade tokens, or even two with a focus token. You have the ability to generate 5 dodges in one roll of the dice (3 evade tokens, 1 C-3PO, and rolling an Evade) yes, using PTL does limit your movement if you wish to continue to perform actions, and playing a purely defensive ship does change your overall style of game play. However, using Corran to run around the board and using Chewie to take a ton of damage in the meantime is an effective strategy. Many times I will focus fire down a target like Soonter Fel and use Corran to strip 1 (or 2) tokens from him, Chewie to take the last token(s), and then kill him with Corran's double tap ability w/ a target lock.

I know you said you have no C-3PO, but you may have friends that would let you borrow one? If not, Kyle still works to get a Focus token, or even a Recon Specialist for 2 tokens for the high PS meta and having to probably roll defensive dice against more than one attack before being able to shoot at all.

Jan Ors allows you to convert focus to evades, not as good as C3PO, but still good.

I used this in a recent local tournament and did pretty well.

Came 4th with 1 loss to a dash list. Get rerolls with predator and focus evade with Jans + Recon. Anti pursuit laser were just a filler and only triggered once.
