All the brown! How on earth did he manage to keep *two* Hwks alive? With one I figure I can kinda hide it. Two feels very exposed.

I bet the win was as much about his skills as a pilot as it was about the list.

Is Palob necessary to make it work do you think?

The final was against Vader + 4 crackshot TiEs ( One of them Howlrunner ) and I think he didnt lose any ship.

Nice! I like the HWK! I think Palob can help you weaken those pesky aces, so Bossk can take them down. I thing the target to take down for most of the opponents is Bossk. And if they chase him, they get easily IONized.

Not necessary, but stealing those tokens makes your ions far more reliable. If you can shuffle the points a k4 will do the same in your list on the y

I supose this list is perfect against TLTs, living as soon as possible in the range 1 center hole... But swarms, aces, IGs, buah, I need to see the final“s video asap!

I've decided to give this a shot myself. I was looking at a Bossk, Y-wing Stresshog build but i will try this first

theres a feelin a peaceful feelin

that ship now has no shot

yes, a feelin a peaceful feelin

it ioned on a rock

ahweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
