I haven't seen Corran built this way: anyone know why?

By Jturn314, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Corran Horn

Marksmanship

Fire Control System

R5-P9

Experimental Interface

Take a focus as your action, then Exp Int for Marksmanship(will work on both attacks), If you really need the focus for defense, then use it, but ideally you'll be able to save it for R5 regen. Attack twice with TL re-rolls on at least the second attack if not both, and have auto-focus on both attacks from marksmanship. Next turn just five straight or whatever you need to do to get out of there and get rid of that stress on the following turn as you reposition for another run. Or run someone close to him that has wingman.

Any reason this doesn't see much use? Corran is used very much, but I've never seen him like this..

Because while marksmanship is good on him EI doesn't give the versatility of push and allow for corran to act defensively on top of aggressively on the turns he can't attack

it isn't used because using him this way you don't have boost and you cannot barrel if you want to regain shield, corran needs post-maneuver movement to work well. for the build you put up r2d2 would be a better pick, EI stresses you so you are doing a green anyway, might aswell get a shield out of the deal, it also opens your action up to focus, evade or barrol roll
