Poe Dameron and R2-D2

Rexler Brath and x7 title

These guys are same cost and same pilot skill. Which one is better?

I don't know, what is the rest of the squad?

I don't know, what is the rest of the squad?

and against whom are you fighting?

If you're playing Imperials, Rexlar is better.

If you're flying Rebels, Poe is better.

Brath. Always.

Rexler because he has more options to gain his evade. To use R2 on Poe, you're effectively telegraphing your position. You've only 4 places to end up (roughly, disregarding a post-move boost).

Last time I played a game using Rexlar Brath, he was up against a squad with Poe. They were both the last two ships left by the end.

They both killed each other at the same time with the simultaneous attack rule.

"better" is too vague a term to formulate any reliable, worthwhile comparison on

Though I do believe Rexler's ability is a situational piece of crap that may as well be flavor text ala the generic pilots, while Poe's is really great in general (as it applies to every offense and defense roll he makes, provided he has the tokens, and works well with the thrusters he's obviously taking)

Fickle confirmed for never having run Rexlar in an epic game. I've had him solo a transport with fleet officer support. 5 crits kill pretty much any epic ship, and certainly makes it mostly useless.

He's also going to be awesome with /D using focus to flip over ion cannon damage cards, given you can throw fleet officers in bombers now.

Way too skill dependent in a one on one dual though. I'd probably give the edge to Rexlar considering he isn't married to his greens.

You have not lived until you have had Rexlar flip over the ship killing critical hits.

Rexler because he has more options to gain his evade. To use R2 on Poe, you're effectively telegraphing your position. You've only 4 places to end up (roughly, disregarding a post-move boost).

To use x7 on Rexler, you're effectively telegraphing your position. You've only 5 places to end up (roughly, disregarding a post-move barrel roll).

So do i get this correctly, most people think that Rexler would beat the double World champion (and that was before he got any screentime) in a duel?

Now that's something! Where are all the "Poe Regen is OP" whiners now.

And the "Empire gets the short end if the stick" guys?

And on top of that for 3 points more he could have a Tractor Beam and fire both guns each turn in return for his evade.

Because most people would use the /D title competitively as i had the impression.

I guess i'm off i need to post a "Tie Defender post-fix OP" thread XD

Edit: Nevermind i think it will be a "fix the T-70" thread!

To use x7 on Rexler, you're effectively telegraphing your position. You've only 5 places to end up (roughly, disregarding a post-move barrel roll).

Those 5 positions are pretty far apart, though, and leave you pointed in quite a few different directions.

Speeds 3,4,5 straight; 3 banks, 3 turns, and 4 K. 8 positions actually. And as already pointed out, they can leave you in quite a few different positions.

It's much more varied than Poe's greens to get R2-D2 to kick in.

Rexler has the edge in defence in this scenario sure you may not trigger his ability but he's got an edge in health a dial that loves going fast and a k turn.

Give him PTL and mk.ii engines he`ll ruin your day.

Even better tie shuttle with fleet officer is a great way to ensure his ability goes off on a regular basis and acts as a protobiggs if they attack it your aces are safe, they ignore it you've got the tokens to take a beating.

In a 1v1 fight, I think I like Rexler, too. Poe will have a hard enough time wounding him on the joust, and after the K-turn, Rex will have an enormous advantage, or Poe won't K-turn, and Rex has un-returned shots.

Double world champion? How can there be two winners with only one tournament?! You mean the ship that got first and second? Then yes, that ship was included in those lists. Problem with all this, its being graded in a vacuum. Poe would be toasted against Rex just because of the 4k turn. Problem is, you also usually have to deal with the rest of the ships in the list, and that's where rexler has a problem. He isn't the great against turrets and those are still prevalent in the tournaments.

With X7 he will be pretty good against turrets, even better than Poe. The only thing he will not be able to do is flee and regen to full.

With /D he will have stupid amounts of damage and control.

The only thing that is not good about Rexler is his ability. Therefore i prefer Vessery VI in most lists that can provide him Target locks on his targets.

His ability is the whole reason he is scary against large ships. Give him juke or predator and x7, you will for sure be getting criticals through. Poe does have regen, but won't be useful if he is dead before he can use them.

PTL and mk.ii engine let you get Rexler's ability off and he's got ten green moves to shed stress, combined with x7 title he has amazing action economy.

I thought the common knowledge was to use R5-P9 on Princess Dameron. Doesnt that sync better? What am I missing?

What am I missing?

Paul Heaver.

If you're playing Imperials, Rexlar is better.

If you're flying Rebels, Poe is better.

Um, what about scum?

First order?

Wasn't there another faction? Oh, you probably got that one covered already.

Problem with all this, its being graded in a vacuum.

Isn't that how we ought to evaluate all our ships, as it's where they fly?

R2D2 works when blocked or stressed, that's the big advantage.
