Farlander and Opportunist

By Parravon, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I was just musing over some options for an upcoming tournament and I was looking at Keyan Farlander with Opportunist. If I have a target without an evade or focus token, I can trigger Opportunist to get the extra die, thus gaining a stress token in the process. I can then use that stress token to modify the attack dice with Keyan's ability, right?

I can't see any timing issues that would indicate it's not possible. Am I missing something, or is this a feasible combo?

Nope, nothing stopping you at all. It was the first thing a lot of people did with Farlander, in fact.

Cool, I thought as much. I'll see how he does with a Mangler Cannon.

Uh, why? It doesn't give you much of a benefit, except at Range 3.

There are a lot better uses than Mangler for 4 points. C3PO for example. Advanced sensors is 3pts

Yeah, I was tossing up whether or not to go with Adv Sensors, and I don't have a C-3P0 card for the tournament. Seeing as I'm the TO and I've already said you have to have the proper cards and no proxies, that wouldn't look too good.

Plus the last time I played against Mangler Cannons, my opponent kept me at Range 2-3 and that missing range die was a pain.
