Lando is not bad but as you see he isn't consistent. Sure you may break even 50% of the time and could even get an extra token out of it and it won't be blanks as often. But the thing is even if Lando gives you a token it might not be the one you need. You might get an evade token when you really needed a focus token. The meta is built around consistency. Back in the day of Fat Han C-3PO was very consistent with 1 agility ships and since Han had plenty of hit points C-3PO would be around for most of the game. Soontir can consistently get a focus token even if he does a K-turn. If he gets hit by stress bot or he shoots at rebel captive he gains more focus tokens. Sure Lando can be economical in terms of actions but it is not just economy otherwise the 8 TIE Swarm will still be the leading champion of X-wing but one of consistency.

Even if you add C-3PO he is more consistent on 1 dice results not 2. Plus the results of an evade token would be no different than if you save C-3PO for an attack. Only if on a 1 agility ship it would be better odds to save C-3PO for defending than Lando. Still I don't see C-3PO Lando Ghost coming up in the meta, especially when you have crew like Kennan or Recon Spec.

I liked the pictures.

I love Lando, but he always drops the multiball when there are limited combat options and when you need him most loves to drop the goose egg.

I was lucky enough to roll 3 consecutive double blanks with him on the Ghost my first time trying him. I now hate Lando and that will never change.

​Those are some slim odds!

A lot of people are also neglecting the fact that you can't call C-3PO on a Ghost, unless the attack is from range 3 and/or obstructed.

from your fraction, about 3%. if 30 ppl have played Lando since the beginning of the card, it was bound to happen (30 x 3% = 90 %).

You are missing the fact that we CAN call c3p0 on Lando Crew's roll.

^This.

Is it finally time for the combo I foretold back when the cards were spoiled?

Hmmm ... Lando + EI + Expose ...

but for Kanan I still prefer Rec Spec + EI + Lando

Hmmm ... Lando + EI + Expose ...

No VCX-100 pilot has an elite talent slot.

That's totally right LOL. Okay, got me!

It's still an ugly use of 6 points and 2 crew slots though. There's a reason why players don't run C-3PO on 2 agility ships. Or am I thoroughly missing the point, and this is for ridiculous funsies?

On a ship with 0 defence dice, every evade is basically a free hit point. Running around with 2+ evade tokens a turn can double a VCX's survivability.

I see. It's just a fundamentally different outlook. I see the Ghost as built for aggression, and something like FCS/Hera/Han simply works out as more efficient to me. The game's continued to shift toward favoring offense (Theorist's conclusion that this is bad for the game is up for debate, but denying the premise is not a tenable position). Stacking resources into defenses feels like a losing proposition to me. It's like when gunpowder cannons took the field, the medieval style of high walled castles came to an end. You ended up with stubbier fortresses that packed guns to fire back...

Ok but consider for kanan: Rec Spec+EI+Lando

Personally, my favorite Kanaan build uses a Tactical Jammer, as he's flying with his Biggsiepoo.

I've always liked Lando, but the visual representation makes him far more appealing.

Yes, Billy Dee Williams is a handsome man.

Here's a thought, someone smart do the math on this plz lol. Lando, c3p0, and Jan Ors. Guess 1 or 2 evades with 3po, roll dice. Adjust focus results into evade with Jan in order to obtain the correct guess. Profit. Guess Lando and c3p0 on the ghost and Jan Ors on the attack shuttle.

That's not what Jan does.

And that's not how C3PO works.

And that's not how C3PO works.

Actually, it is.

​He triggers when you roll defense dice, not when you're defending.

He adds an Evade result if you guess correctly, which Lando then turns into an Evade token.

Jan doesn't work though, since she takes effect when you are assigned tokens, which is after Lando has resolved.

I know that, I was refering to "adjust focus results into evade" part as 3PO triggers before any dice modifications.
