I know the falcon has fallen out of favor lately. Can anyone think of any Wave 8 upgrades / crew / synergy that may resurrect it?

I was thinking that the weakness of a PTL falcon was the predictability of the soft green move afterwards.

With the Kanan crew, now there is a lot more maneuverability.

I am not sure who would be a good escort though. I can't make up my mind between Poe, Miranda, or Ello Asty.

This is my first try. Any obvious weaknesses?

I would go for VI/Gunner/C3P0/Engine+Title on Han, next to an ace of your choice.

why in god's name would you want to bring that awful bit of boring back onto the table?

also no. Ghost would've been the expac for it (assuming all the crew from Misthunter + Jumpmaster are going to follow in Bossk's "scum only" footsteps) and it didn't bring anything for the yt-1300, thankfully

falcon's dead; TLTs killed it

honestly, good riddance.

You sir, are an awful person for saying that, Chewie and the falcon forever!!

only in the movies

in here, they're just dice and boredom

but seriously, trust me I looked for ways that they'd try to crawl back onto the scene through so I'd be ready to curbstomp them at the first opportunity. They've got nothing in Wave 8 so far, except for a bunch more ships that don't care about c3po* thanks to Juke (lovely little ept, that )

*yes Juke counters c3po, since c3po adds the evade result before modifiers and therefore before Juke

if ordnance gets buffed via Guidance Chip/Chimps, it'll only be worse for the big, high value target that is the yt-1300

I think Poe works better with a meat shield - using him in a two ship list is begging for him to get stomped early.
