Han + Poe List. Thoughts?

By BiggsDarklighter, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I've got a list I'd like to try using Han and Poe. This will just be used in casual play against some friends, but it looks like it could be fun.

Han Solo (46) - PTL (3) - EU (4) - Jan Ors (2) - Lando (3) - MF title (1) - Total 59 pts.

Poe Dameron (31) - Predator (3) - R5P9 (3) - Autothrusters (2) - Weapons Guidance(2) - Total 41 pts.

List Total - 100 pts.

The idea is to use Lando each turn with Han. Depending on how you roll, Jan can change your focus tokens to evade if needed. Then, with PTL, you can evade if needed, or boost to get better position, or focus if you have enough evades already and are in good position.

Poe is Poe, just being awesome.

So, what do you guys think about it?

Eeee....let me get this straight:

U use Jan to turn Lando who can roll native evades into evades then PtL into evade? :P

Nah seriously, Lando+Jan dont speak to me. On last store there was a guy with similar but more reliable list (cause well lando can roll 2 blanks. Too often.): Kyle+Jan+Title+PtL

You remove stress get focus that you change into evade with jan then evade from title then PtL either boost or focus. Better action economy and no risk of rolling blanks from Lando.

And he was top 8 with that and Poe.

Do you need Predator if you have Weapon Guidance? With WG you can change blank/eye/hit to 3 hits anyway. I would take VI here.

Poe Needs VI. If he runs into a higher PS, you run the risk of having to burn your focus dodging, thus nullifying his ability.

I see what you're saying with Lando, and Kyle would be more reliable. I was just thinking Lando could be flexible. If Lando rolled for two focus, you could turn those to evade with Jan and then take a focus action. If Lando rolled one focus and one evade, then keep them that way and take evade action. Either way you'd end up with two evades and a focus (in a best case scenario).

While the chances of Lando rolling two blanks is pretty good, it would be fun to see what happens. A real gambler's build. Not the best for competition, I agree. Kyle would be the better choice. Thanks for that advice!

I've used simaler - varying builds on the falcon but my Poe is simply him plus r2d2. Makes him pretty Tanky and not bad at offense if he can keep focus.

Just realized you can get the same exact effect with Recon Specialist instead of Lando. May not be as fun, but would be way more reliable.

I've run the below to some success, pilling the focus on Han with the option of evade is real good.

Han, Title, PTL, Recon Specialist, Kyle, Engine upgrade (60)

Poe, VI, Autothrusters, R2D2 (38)

The version I have used is

Han,Title, VI,Gunner, EU, and C3-PO

Poe: Pred,Autothrusters,R2

This is a list I was looking at trying, but I found it was vulnerable to Heavy Laser Cannons.

YT-1300: •Han Solo (60)

Engine Upgrade (4)

•Millennium Falcon (1)

Determination (1)

•C-3PO (3)

Gunner (5)

T-70 X-Wing: •Poe Dameron (40)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Veteran Instincts (1)

•R2-D2 (4)

Total: 100/100

Lando is cool. Especially when you have 3 focus on him and you roll focus a lot hahaha. I run him with gunner and lando
