A New Fat Han

By cybercat07, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I posted this a while back but I would like to get some more feedback on it. I would like to use competitively use this list and I think it has a good synergy to it. I know these are expensive ships but what does everybody else think? What are the pros and cons that you can see? I feel like this would hold its own against a swarm, but maybe could have a tough time against a list of 3-4 solid ships.

Han Solo- 46

-Engine upgrade-4

-Millennium Falcon-1

-Push the Limit-3

-Kyle Katarn-3

-Nien Nub-1

Total (58)

Etahn A'baht- 32

-Hull upgrade-3

-Push the Limit-3

-R2-D2-4

Total (42)

I much prefer Kannan over nien nub as it makes you alot more unpredictable

If i would get a penny everytime i see "new fathan" and then find one of the old subpar builds i would be millionaire :D

Sorry to pop a bubble but...: how is this supposed to hold against a swarm? It would more hold against 2-3 ships than a swarm.

Now to the list :

-Han

Your whole defence is title only. You rely on arc dodging only that can or can not work. (plus its way harder to dodge a swarm than a non swarm list, how you came up with idea that this would do better vs swarms?)

Action economy: unless Kyle is paired with Jan Ors on Falcon i see no use for him. You either want to boost+ eye for dodge eye+evade if you cant dodge. For the same cost you can get ezra that will skyrocket your damage.

-Ethan

Ethan Ethan...we all love to field you , why u have to suck so much? 42points for so-so ship. Ok its mobile, ok it regens, but he is only ps5. Ability is only OK. Plus its not ability designed for 2 ship builds.

If you want E-wing why not field Vi+R2+FCS Corran? Same points and he WILL do something.

My suggestion to your list (just minor adjustments in fact):

Han

+PtL + Jan Ors +Ezra Bridger +EU +Title

Corran

+Adaptability +R2 +FCS

Falcon needs good flying in this setup to not become blocked, but you got good dmg (ezra), double evades (jan), and good, tested Ewing build.

But to be honest, nothing beats good'ld classic FatHan build, all other Han builds are benchmarked to that one anyway :)

Han Solo

-PTL

-Title

-Lando

-Kanan

-EU

Gray squad

-TLT

-R3 A2

-BTL

Bandit Z95

Running Han Solo with Push the Limit is a terrible idea. UNLESS you take Kanan.

Without Predator though, your offence suffers, so you really need at least Gunner to ensure your fat ship is doing consistent damage each turn.

So:

Solo w/ PTL, title, kanan, gunner & engine = 62

The remaining 38 can go into whatever suits your fancy, but personally, I'd go with lone wolf Ello or Psycho Tycho.
