Mist Hunter and Zuckuss.

By WWHSD, in X-Wing

So it looks like the Mist Hunter has a 3-1-4-4 stat line and has a Crew, Cannon, and Illicit Slot. It gets the Focus, Target Lock and Evade action

The Zuckuss Pilot is PS 7 with and EPT and cost 20-some-odd points (might be 28 or 23) his ability is:

"When attacking, you may roll 1 additional attack die. If you do, the defender rolls 1 additional defense die."

The Mist Hunter title is 0 points and reads:

You action bar gains the barrel-roll action icon. You must equp 1 "Tractor Beam" Upgrade card (paying its squad point cost as normal).

The only thing that we know about it's dial is that it has a red 3 bank.

Secondary pilot ability: Engage selective memory.

So, a five dice heavy laser cannon...

It's not a cannon, its a system.

Ahh .. was going on what was mentioned here .. thank you

Other things we know about Zuckuss and 4-Lom...they are SUPER EXCITED to be bounty hunters!

My eyes are too old for this squinting to read crap.

How can you ever equip the Mist Hunter title which requires a tractor beam, if you can equip a tractor beam?

Hmmmm. Does that make it more difficult for C3PO to guess how many Evades are going to come up? The maths is sort of beyond me at 2am.

You probably want to avoid using it if your target has Lone Wolf, though?

Is the icon on the Tractor Beam a cannon or something else?

If it is a cannon icon that would open up the Cloaking Device usage on the Scum Firespray, Virago and Heavy Scyk's.

Can anyone confirm what that icon is?

Edit: I was thinking it was Scum only but I don't see that on the card. A ton of ships could conceivably use this. I is confused.

The cloaking device is small ship only and fills the illicit slot. The tractor beam is definitely a cannon icon.

The cloaking device will be usable on the Mist Hunter, HWKs, Z-95s, Virago and Khiraxz. Tractor beam seems to be able to go on any ship with a cannon slot + the Mist Hunter. I'm really interesting in knowing what it does.

I wonder if 4 x Blue Squad with FCS and Tractor Beams is going to be a thing.

I'm going to guess that the tractor token prevents the defender from rolling evade dice.

The title ignores upgrade bar restrictions to equip it.

Nifty way to make a ship without a cannon slot, but still make Tractor Beam a cannon for all the other ships that should get it.

Cloaked Torkil Mux or cloaked Palob Godalhi with stacks of moldy crow focuses? Yes please.

Thanks "What Would"! I was totally mixing things up and hadn't looked through all the cards yet. I was on information ovetload!

NP, it was like drinking from a firehose today.

This is way too good for 1 point. My strategy would be out them on everything, catch Soontir once, then win. He'll evade it a few times but it'll eventually catch him. Then if you have another ship with arc on him or a turret attack, he's instavapor.

Interceptors would quickly return to the realm of unviability.

Given that they just saw a triumphant return, I'd stay that's unlikely. The tractor beam token will be cool, but at one point, if can't be THAT powerful. Consider that an ion cannon is 3 points. I can't wait to find out what it does, but because if it's cost I don't expect it to be hugely high impact.

If it does anything but reduce agility value by 1 I'll be surprised.

If that's all it does I'd expect it to throw more dice. At three dice it's chance to hit anything with high agility and tokens isn't great. Outside of the Falcon you'd be better throwing actual damage dice at anything that you'd be able to hit reliably.

I just think that the name "Zuckuss" is rather vulgar.

inb4 b-rolling or decloaking with the misthunter becomes known as "so long, zuckussss!"

Nah, I'm only interested in a Firepower 3 PWT that is pilot skill 9. :P

Sorry this is all information overload! :D
