Jake Farrell & Garven Combo

By CaptainAl, in X-Wing Squad Lists

i had this idea that would make Jake Farrell the best arc dodger. If you run Garven with jake you can pass focus tokens to jake and then he gets is free action. Here is how it would work.

Action 1: Evade

Garven gives focus

Action 2: boost or barrel roll

Ptl: target lock

now you have an a-wing with target lock, evade, and focus token. along with auto thrusters and arc dodging most ships. it is a powerful combo as long as graven stays alive.

the list would look somewhat like this:

poe

VI

R2-D2

Autothrusters

Jake

PTL

Crack Shot VI

Autothrusters

Test Pilot

Proton Rockets

Garven

R2-D6

VI

IA

99

Jake probably wants VI over crack shot, in order to bring him to 9 where he can arc dodge more. And you may have points for proton rockets to give him a nice range one sting.

I was thinking about giving him VI, but i wasn't sure if it would mess up the combo if Garven can't attack before Jake.

Oh yeah I didn't realize that. Guess it depends on what you wanna do with that combo.

You could still do your one arc dodgy move pre combat, and then your second one after with garven but yeah then you've already shot with jake. Just wouldn't want him to get blasted by an ace before garven shoots either. It's tough to know when he will need it. If he has the VI he can move after he shoots similar to Turr Phennir to dodge other shots maybe. I guess just try both and see what you like.
