3 Ship regen. Should we be worried?

By Kdubb, in X-Wing

I completely disagree, regen is getting out of hand. Last thing we need is for all of the factions to get access to it instead of just one. Of course IG-88A can regen but that's nowhere near the level of Miranda Poe Corran BS.

If they went out of their way to balance it, I suppose. Just no once a turn free shield BS.

Erza is not a threat in that getup

Neither is poe without an ept

The damage output is abysmal and they'll drown in focused fire

Now try that list again with a slim Jake Farrel instead of Ezra snd we're talking... I ran it and i think it's better than with Ezra. You will also have occasions when Ezra will pretty much get oneshot and then R2 is wasted.

Oh please. R2-D2 crew comes with his own dangers. R2-D2 mech tells you where your opponent will be. Miranda is less dangerous when regenerating and all you need to do is stop Poe from spending the token on R5-P9. Wether you strip it with Wes, or you park Carnor on his wing, or you have Palob take his goodies away is up to you.

Lifegain is, unless you specifically build for it, never all that powerful.

If all 3 ships can regenerate then the answer becomes obvious: target only a single ship at a time. In such a scenario, only 1 regen ability comes into play at any one time while the others are just points that were spent and don't do anything in the meantime.

^ this pretty much

Although i have to admit that Miranda is pretty hard to pin down due to slam. She cant regen while doing it but she can often stop you from shooting her.

And you could make regen lists before Ezra. And i don't even think he is that survivable that R2D2 Crew is justified to spend 4 poimts on him. Remember if he takes one hull damage and use R2 it can blow your whole ship up!

I think if you want to go theme list you do:

Ezra Bridger (20)

Elusiveness (2)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

R2-D2 (4)

Autothrusters (2)

Luke Skywalker (28)

Lone Wolf (2)

BB-8 (2)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Total: 98

That way you have 3 threats who all get free evades from their abilities.

I think the idea is worth a try. With slam and poe, you can likely disengage and spread out the damage. the shuttle and poe are both 3 attack ships, and we all know the capability of the TLT. I don't see this list as being weak on red dice. Agree that VI on poe might be worth while
