Obstacle Choices.

By Nicorex, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So I can choose to drop down asteroids or debris clouds. Other than looking like they are a bit bigger why would I choose debris? They seem to do less chance of free damage and do not stop shooting attacks.

Can someone explain to me why it is worth it to choose debris instead?

If you rely on being able to shoot, but don't mind stress, you can basically ignore 3 obstacles if you bring 3 debris, not to mention Dash or Farlander.

Cause you may bring a list of bricks like Decimator, Lambda, Bwings, HWK and all that immobile stuff that don't care too much about stress but really want to shoot.

With that question You basically missed half of obstacles setup: not only to disturb you opponent but also to help you. And those immobile ships like debris much more than asteroids.

Summary: You use Debris so they do not hurt YOUR game if it comes to that. If you're an expert at avoiding obstacles and want to maximize their possible game effect use asteroids instead.

Ahh Okay.. Thanks for the understanding all.

Hi. Can I use the 3 debris clouds that come with the Imperial Raider in a tournament or Standard game?

Until now there are: Core set Asteroids, YT2400 debris clouds, Decimator Debris clouds isn't it?

I don't think Raider's debris are legal, not yet at least
