best EPT for Poe?

By The Mule, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I like Push the Limit on Poe as it ensures that you can still Focus even after taking another action. The stress could be very limiting though and there are times when I don't need to push at all.

Has anyone tried Expert Handling on Poe? What's the best EPT for him?

If you're going to take PtL I would recommend Predator.

Full dial access, instead of greens to offset stress and then Boosting to recover positioning.

Attack modifier even after performing red maneuver or getting stressed any other way.

Being able to perform red maneuver when the need arises (no "oops I was PtL stressed now I can't Tallon Roll next turn")

My favorite is Lone Wolf.

take PTL only if BB-8

because PTL can trigger off of the free barrel roll, you will be stressed before you take your green maneuver. After the maneuver, you will have no stress and can take your normal action if you didn't bump

Adreniline Surge. Let poe use his ability on a T-roll, once per game.

I second that. I just played a tournament with poe and adrenaline rush and finished second (of 19 players). Adrenaline rush was very important to get that focus when you have some guns pointing at you and you want to reload a shield with r5-p9. I've found poe to be a beast with this setup. He never got killed the whole tournament.

PTL + BB-8 is my new favourite thing. the options are just incredible imo

As told in another thread, imho: Lone Wolf R5P9 and AT for an amazing endgame

I've seen him work very well with VI - PS 10 boost is a pretty strong combo and he seems to have enough punch to cause a lot of issues for PS 9 or below aces.

I'm a big fan of R5-P9, PTL, AT, and Weapons Guidance. It's 10 extra points so it's expensive, but PTL allows him to get right where he needs and still get that ever valuable Focus, and WG is great for when you don't need to recover shields and you've dodged all arcs.

Watch out for stress bots though.

Within the current meta (Vader, Fel...) I would take VI every time. You are paying and counting on Poe being an Ace. Veteran Instincts ensures that Poe is able to position after your foes and fire first for only one point.

Predator, He hits like crazy.

Noob Question: can Poe with Weapon Guidance and a focus token change a *focus* dice and after spend the token to change a blank dice to a *hit* result?

With BB-8, it should be PTL hands down. Otherwise, I think VI, LW, and Predator in that order.
