EPT Wired how good?

By Dagonet, in X-Wing

In the new core set:

1 point

When attacking or defending, if you are stressed you may reroll one or more of your <eye> results.

Nice. If only Soontir could have two EPT's.

Tycho can!

Tycho can, indeed

also anyone with an ept and r3-a2 can put it to good use...so just the Red Veteran from the core :P (pairs well with thrusters, though)

now we just need to hunt down self-stress folk

there's drea, but it's redundant on her. ditto Ibs

Keyan farlander, perhaps, if you can find another way to stress him

Ooh Biggs would have loved this.

He still can have it, it's just harder to stress him.

Predator is more than 3 times better except for double EPT situations.

yes and no

yes because it's not nearly as conditional

no because wired can be used defensively

the problem is finding an efficient way to enable it apart from Tycho and r3-a2

Are you sure? Predator works on attacks, this is reroll eyeballs only, but all of them for attack and defense. And its 1 point!

we can throw Jan Ors onto the Wired pile (provided you have someone shoot before she does; could be fun with TLT)

Tetran too (might be too in love with SoT)

Looks solid

B-Wing /E2 with 3P0

Guess 0.

Roll eye

Gain Evade token

Reroll

Profit.

I like Wired as a 1 point alternative or filler, but who best utilizes it?

lol, Horton Salm with TLT and R2-D6 + Wired. It's almost as good as a Focus token with TLT.

I really hope not

Historically the ability to reroll eyeballs hasn't gone over very well.

only if they cost 4 points and a crew slot <_<

5 BSP's with this and Howlrunner?

For one point, looks fine to me. Great on those turns you need to make a red maneuver.

This + Lone Wolf could give you a fun re-rolling Tycho. But you'd definitely be better off with PtL.

Anyway, this card is great if you expect to face Rebel Captive or Tactician often. Put Wired on your first attacker, take the stress upon declaration, maybe you can save your Focus token. Unfortunately Tactician is *after* an attack, but you still may get the effect if you take a lot of hits.

It's a Half-Ibtisam measure. And I like it.

Green Squadron A wings with PTL and wired...nice.

Wired feels like a discounted Lone Wolf.

I thought the T-70s only had slots for the BB-8 style astromechs?

BB-8 is a normal astromech. The new set only includes one new kind of upgrade, "Tech" and it is available to both the T-70 and the FO/TIEs

The T-70 has a normal astromech slot. So BB-8 on wedge and R2-D2 on Poe is perfectly fine.
