Kyle, Jan, and Juke

By gamblertuba, in X-Wing

OK, Worlds is over so let's get back to speculation and theory-crafting. I propose that this pairing is just about the ultimate application of the soon-to-be-released Juke.

Kyle Katarn (21)
Juke (2)
Jan Ors (2)
Moldy Crow (3)
Oops, left off the TLT(6) kinda important (Thanks killerbeardhawk)
Total: 28 34
Kyle charges some focus tokens on the way using the title. When in combat, Jan changes his focus to an evade and Kyle drops 2 focused TLT attacks and changes one of the targets evade result to an eyeball on each attack.
Add in a TLT stress-bot (to draw some fire away from a juicy target) and your up to 54 60 points.
Season to taste with:
  • Slightly under-weight Corran.
  • A pair of B-wings or X-wings (with IA)
  • 2 Prototypes and a Z
  • Minimalist Chewie
  • 2 Decked out Greenies with PtL and Wired (might be my favorite)

Edit: Only 40 points left so I guess Poe or your other favorite Ace? Any great suggestions for the leftovers?

You could also go with something like this list. It uses the Comm Relay to let Red Squad Vets run around with Juke.

Kyle: 34 stressbot: 26 = that's only 40 points left

I've been looking at Jan with Wired and Kyle crew.

I think the only ship that screams Juke is Carnor Jax...

Oh gods. Return of the HWKs. =D

I love it.

Jan and Kyle ideas.

Yep. Juke is so-so on most things, because to take the Evade you're giving up damage from Focus. When you can preload the Evade, though, with Comm Relay, it gets really nasty.

I run mine with engine and no crow. Was running it with a 61pt Han but need to rethink those 61 points now that 3 is the new 2.

Wes Janson with VI, R5-P9 and Shield Upgrade?

Test Pilot A-Wings, Darth Vader, and the upcoming TIE Advanced Prototype (with its title that grants an Evade token when you take a TL) would all love to have a word with you.

The Inquisitor and Vader are both good places for Juke as it is a stronger EPT when you shoot before your opponents do.

Red Ace with Comm Relay could have been a good home for it as well. He's got a middling PS but he gets an evade token the first time that he loses a shield in a round. Of course FFG screwed him by not giving him an EPT slot.

I have been thinking about something like this. If Poe gets blocked the other ships can give him the focus he needs or Poe can use other actions he can still get a focus.
