Poe w/ R2-D2 vs Rexler w/ x7

By Samwise Gamgee, in X-Wing

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).

I count at least 7.

pick the cards and ships and game it out as a duel. Do it several times and see the results :)

duel doesn't matter unless you're asking which would win in a 1 on 1

last I checked, neither pilot is 100 points

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).

the number you're looking for is 8.

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

Who is better, Rexler or Poe? The answer is probably Vessery.

VI, MKII and X7 for survival and Value or /D for firepower and control.

He is cheaper and if you play him with anything that TLs anyway his ability offers him the better action economy.

With Predator and /D, Rexler is actually pretty dangerous. For the ship, maneuvers, PS and firepower, but his pilot ability is just so useless it's a shame. Even if you get danage through and the ship is not dead anyway, and if you have the token, often you should just keep it for defense. I have actually not seen his ability used successfully more than one, maximum two times. And i have played and seen a lot of games.

I would play Rexler only if i wanted 2 Defenders and had Vessery already or if i desperately needed PS10

You just use him with PTL and you can get his ability off just fine I can clearly tell who's never even tried it.

Just Thursday he tore a y-wing apart with his ability before it got to use its TLT, what's more it's free your only paying for his PS.
