Finally, Night Beast is fixed.

By TheRealStarkiller, in X-Wing

It has been a bug all the time. I knew it!

I will use him now more often, with MKII or TC.

Keep up the good work, FFG!

... and remember to fix Fel's Wrath as well, if you got the chance to ;)

And you even made a nice picture to honor him :D

They did fix Fel's wrath. Most needed nerf in the game...

They did? have I missed something lately?

Yeah he was nerfed in the new faq.

Now if he is "killed" but kills the last enemy with his final shot it counts as a draw.

Oh ... seems like I really missed this out ... this fix is like shooting at a dead hedgehog ...

WRONG DIRECTION, FFG! WRONG DIRECTION!

Fix him so that he will be usable and ppl actually like to play with him!

Yeeaaah Even Arvel is more useful now. - And has been for a while. Fel is actually worse than e-wing generics.

Though I can see a place for him in epic. if ONLY he had some kind of biggs special rule too...

Given that Wrath has a place in the 181st I really want to find excuse to run him rather than say Carnor (who doesn't fit as Fel's wingman).

As it stands, Soontir, Carnor, Turr or Soontir, Carnor, RGP is how I like to run my Interceptors.

Fel's Wrath' ability isn't even a wingman's ability.

But ... well ... so he stays in the shadow of ... every other Interceptor pilot, including the Alphas ... in fact he might be the worst pilot in the whole game, since the Tie Advanced is fixed and Maarek is pretty decent now.

As Soontirs' Wingman, he should be able to like copy the PS of a friendly ship in range 1-3 like a swarm tactics, but the other way around....

.... Yeeeessss I stop the FW discussion right here ...

Even Maarek pre fix had his uses in epic for cracking bigger ships. If Fels had an EPT I imagine he'd be ok with draw their fire. But yeah... he needs your prescribed fix.

What was buggy with night beast before?

It was only when he was stressed at the start of the activation phase. In the old sequence he wouldn't have cleared his stress with a green maneuver before he was supposed to get his free focus. The article mentions that this was a glitch. The new sequence allows Night Beast to do a green, clear his stress and get his free focus and then take his regular action.

What was buggy with night beast before?

His ability would trigger as soon as he finished performing the maneuver, before the Check Stress step removed his stress token, which would then prevent him taking the Focus action.

Now that "execute a maneuver" includes the Check Stress step, the stress goes away before Night Beast's ability triggers. He is thus a very happy TIE Fighter pilot.

there's no way to fix FW without altering his card/text/ability completely. the best thing you can do is NOT use him. at all.

or use him and claim moral victory once you've lost. you know you earned it ^_^

Giving him an EPT and/or reducing his point costs would go a long way...

Even if he had a EPT, I'd still take a Saber or a RGP instead. Even if he'd cost one point less.

I dunno, the loss of pilot skill for the little surprise he might bring and psychological element (assuming points decrease AND EPT) would make him worth it for me.

As a side note, I looked up Nightbeast on wookiepedia and it says he got the nickname from sneaking in late into the barracks from a night on the town.

Yes, thats where he got his ability from. A green sneak stays him focused.
