Opportunity Knocks. Hard.

By blade_mercurial, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So WWHSD's list: 'Bossk HWK and his deputies' got me thinking about maxxing out the pain from opportunist:

Talonbane Cobra w/ opportunist & engine = 36 (no glitterstim because stress conflicts with triggering opportunist)

Palob w/ opportunist, blaster turret, recon spec, moldy crow & engine = 38

Kaa'to Leachos w/ opportunist, proton rockets & stealth device = 25

99

Okay, so its not the most competitive list, but its somewhat amusing. Assuming you can get both Talonbane and Kaa'to into range 1 and use Palob to strip the focus/evade token, then that poor sod is looking at:

6 red dice from Talonbane, 6 more from Kaa'to's procket (go stealth device!) and Palob's blaster adds another 4. 16 red dice in one turn. A bit overkill, yes, but to see the look on the opponent's face. Totally worth it! :P

Procket maxes out at 5, but still pretty nasty if you can pull it off

You are forgetting that kaato also has opportunist...

Roll additional dice equal to your agility, up to 3. There's the "base" power, then add opportunist. Not bad, especially since you still keep your focus to power up those 6 reds.

About half way through reading this I had another idea you might like. How about auto-Kavil with opportunist? Only trouble is that Talonbane is the only one not stripping tokens so it's probably one or the other
