Has teeth and is very tanky.

R2-f2 is awful. You are better off R5-P9 to spend the focus you are saving with Poe to repair shields. Or BB-8 to allow for more flexibility and ending a turn without stress.

He's not awful. If Poe is being shot at a lot it's going to negate more damage than R5-P9 does, and with Autothrusters is considerably better.

Poe is one of the few ships that R2-F2 is actually not bad on; combined with Autothrusters and his talent he pretty much has 2 guaranteed evades plus whatever the dice gods choose to bestow upon him. It ends up being about Lando (crew) tier in terms of upgrades.

comparing something to lando crew is not exactly the most resounding endorsement.

He ain't bad, honestly.

I love him on Leebo.

I like Lando too.

It's not that r2-f2 is bad (works well on biggs), It's just underwhelming compared to the other options available. shield regen with a multi-use focus token or three actions with no stress are so much better

Speak for yourself, I've won many a match with lando + Jan ors on the falcon.

Regardless of how many matches you have won with it, that doesnt change the fact that he is a statistically worse recon specialist. He might be worth it at 2 points.

Personally I think the ability to regen shields is better than an extra dice, but i could just be bitter because the green dice hate me.

Its not so much that R2-F2 is awful, its just that you have created an extremely predictable Poe who is relying on 3 green dice + focus to save him from concentrated fire (and sometimes autothrusters when applicable). When autothrusters kicks in, yes, its pretty good. But your opponent won't be trying to kill Poe at R3. Once you are stuck on green moves, its pretty easy to get a block and melt him down fairly quick when he has no actions. At least with R5-P9 your dial is wide open (don't need PTL) or with BB-8 + PTL you have that pseudo 'advanced sensors' barrel roll to avoid blocks.

I can see R2-F2 on Poe being really useful against turrets. So if that's all you face, then yeah it should serve you well enough, but its certainly not a 'take all-comers' sort of build...

This. X-wings are really easy to predict when stressed. You'll very easily going to be blocked or outmaneuvered only relying on the 5 green maneuvers on the dial. Also, the combo limits your ability to Talon roll and K-turn.

R2-F2 is really one of the worst cards in the game. Its too expensive at 3 points, it costs an action, and all it gives you is 1 more green dice. Good luck with those darn things.
