BBBZ build help

By bageldrone, in X-Wing Squad Lists

hi guys i've been running this build for a little while and I really enjoy flying it, but i cant seem to win with it

Keyan Farlander - PTL, Adv Sensors

Dagger Squadron Pilot - Ion cannon, accuracy corrector

Blue Squadron Pilot

Tala Squadron Pilot

what do you guys think of the build and how i could improve it?

cheers

Go with the classic BBBBZ instead?

yea true i guess... i kinda find BBBBZ a bit boring to fly

So with the x wing card from the new coreset, you could run xxxxxz

4 rookie pilots with intergrated astromech and r2 and a z, it has a few less hull, a few more evade and the xs have a better dial so it works out to be the same in jousting %.

I plan on trying bbxxz shortly as I think a mix of the ships give you the best variety.

Drop advanced sensors on Keyan and make the other B a dagger against the PS2 builds

Whoops, well you still know what it does so you can proxy it out and see how it goes.

I was thinking a lot about BBBZ build.

In my opinion, this list seems really nice and... powerful in the same time!

OK, let's start with the list:

Keyan Farlander (29)
Stay On Target (2)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Nera Dantels (26)
Deadeye (1)
Extra Munitions (2)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Munitions Failsafe (1)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Total: 100
Let's think about the build:
  • Z-95 Headhunter - quite standard suicide blocker and 2 extra red dice. Fastest ship in the list.
  • B-wing - stronk tonk - nothing new here, Bwing is a Bwing. Low agi, good firepower, barell roll and a lot of Hitpoints to deal with.
  • But the guy called Keyan is a beast, that loves to handle things at close range with his bare fists! Just look how sweet he is going to make a magic on the battlefield:
    • Advanced Sensors - they are critical here, as you WANT him to be stressed after maneuver. You are using this one to reposition with barrel roll (just look how hard he can turn with sharp 1 turn and barrel before the maneuver), you can also get a target lock or .... well, basically you want to barrel roll. OK, so what next? His ability is... the best thing you can get at B-Wing! According to FAQ, you can use this ability and remove stress even if you have no 'Focus" rolls on attack dice, you just declare you are using it - and that's it. And now the most important thing - STAY ON TARGET. As you can see on B-Wing dial, you have all possible maneuvers on ... speed 2. Do I need to say you how powerful is to make an action "a Barrel Roll" before you move and than .... change your dial to anything you want (at the same speed) and get stress to .... reroll misses? I LOVE IT
  • And Nera ... well, she is also an ugly Stress Dealer in this list. She is shooting 360 degree with torpedos that do not have to hit to... bring a stress to enemy (sweet Fel/Vader/Arc Doggers counter) and when it hits - you still have another try with extra munitions, if you miss - you are not spending a weapon card because of Munitions Failsafe. Deadeeye - to make sure you doesn't have to get a target lock to shoot your torpedos.

I think you can't get anything better from BBBZ build :) Any comments are welcome guys, let me know how do you like it!

Cheers.
