Keyan's great with Opportunist and Wes enables it. Looking to build a decent list where they can work together and not die horribly like the glass cannons they seem to be. Here's my initial thoughts:

Wes + VI

Keyan + Opportunist

Biggs + R4-D6 + Int. Astro.

89 points.

What do people usually put on Wes (mostly looking at astromechs so I can use IA)?

I've seen some variants on this where people use Wedge instead of Keyan. I like Keyan's better synergy with Opportunist (and his extra HP), but understand Wedge's ability and pilot skill could be better.

Is there room for a cannon (HLC or Mangler?) or a system upgrade (Sensor Jammer?) on the B?

I think R3-A2 is a good fit for Wes. The ship he tags will want to clear the stress making them predictable, which sets up Wes for another shot. Opponent clears the stress, performs an evade/focus/TL, then Wes comes right back and strips their token again.

I just posted a Keyan/Wes build recently and they have great chemistry. To help with Keyan's maneuverability, I would recommend adding maybe engine boost and/or advanced sensors.

My build is:

Keyan

Opportunist

Advanced Sensors

Engine Upgrade

Wes

VI

R5-P9

Hull Upgrade

Gold Squad Pilot

TLT

Just a thought as I think your biggest weakness is that if there is a focus on one fighter, they won't last long.

I think R3-A2 is a good fit for Wes. The ship he tags will want to clear the stress making them predictable, which sets up Wes for another shot. Opponent clears the stress, performs an evade/focus/TL, then Wes comes right back and strips their token again.

But wouldn't the Stress on Janson also make him predictable?

If you're doing regeneration, a shield upgrade would make more sense than hull. Is VI that importanton Wes? He just has to shoot before KeyN, right? Also, you could drop hull and upgrade the TLT Y to a stressbot Y.

It's not like Wes will only shoot faster than others pilots. At ps 10 he can strip tokens from Vader, Poe etc. That's a lot!

I used similar build :

Ello - predator, autothrusters R5-x3

Wes - VI, r2d2, integrated astromech

Gemmer - opportunist, refit, test pilot, stealth device.

A lot of fun to play

But wouldn't the Stress on Janson also make him predictable?

Yeah but Janson doesn't care about stress as much as someone like Poe or Vader that need their actions. Wes' ability works fine when stressed so you can choose to clear it or not. You can also choose when to stress or not. The idea is similar to Stresshog and because you are packing opportunist, the synergy is going to be more painful for your opponent.

Wes and Keyan are pretty nice.

I flew this tonight.

Wes: R2-D2, Integrated, VI

Keyan: Opportunist, Advance Seansors

Tycho: daredevil, PTL, Refit, Test pilot

First shot with Keyan range 1 5 dice shot with a TL. Got 3 hits and Two crits on Kavil. Got a crit through turn two. Tycho harassed N'Dru for 4 turns while Wes and Keyan took care of the other two pilots. It's a nice combo fir sure.

Went with:

Wes + R3A2 + IntAstro + VI

Keyan + Sensor Jammer + Mangler + Opportunist

Biggs + R4D6 + IntAstro

It won its inaugural game but more due to my opponent's poor choices than the squad's quality. More data required...

Did Sensor Jammer actually get any work?

Did Sensor Jammer actually get any work?

No, but only because neither opponent (at this point it's had two games) ever took a shot at the B-Wing.

Did Sensor Jammer actually get any work?

Played again and Jammer kept Keyan alive against TLT Miranda so he could win. Seeing a lot of potential in Adv. Sensors though so may switch.

Cool. I might have to try it myself. It's just hard to get sea from Ad sensors.

But thanks for posting.

double down on Wes and /run Hobbie with R2D6, IA, and opportunist.

Yeah a buddy plays a Wes, Wedge and Hobbie list with opportunist on Wedge and Hobbie.

I had fun running Wes Wedge Hobbie with an arc dodging Wedge (Outmaneuver, BB8, EU). Played against a TIE swarm with Soontir Fel. Soontir droped Wedge to 1 hull with a direct hit, Wedge returned fire and blew Soontir up. The rest of the game was Wes Hobbie taking out a TIE a round. Its a ton of fun to fly!
