Kanan the Token King

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I think i'll be trying this out at my local league next week:

Kanan Jarrus — VCX-100 38
Advanced Sensors 3
Dorsal Turret 3
Lando Calrissian 3
Kyle Katarn 3
Experimental Interface 3
Ghost 0
Ship Total: 53

Ezra Bridger — Attack Shuttle 20
Rage 1
Hera Syndulla 1
Phantom 0
Ship Total: 22

Tarn Mison — X-Wing 23
R7 Astromech 2
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 25

The idea is that Kanan uses Adv Sensors to Focus or Evade, then uses EI to trigger Lando, getting more tokens perhaps, then executes a green maneuver, shedding his stress, and getting another focus token from Kyle.

In theory he could have up to 4 focus tokens, or 3 evade tokens and a focus. :o

At the very least he'll have to tokens if lando rolls blanks.

I've been having a hard time building a list around the Ghost so this seemed silly and something to try.

Personally I would replace Tarn with Biggs, R4-D6 and IA. Even if you have to drop Hera from the attack shuttle. Biggs adds so much survivability to the Ghost while Kanan's multiple focus tokens will help keep Biggs alive in return.

Probably a good idea. I just like Tarn lol. Never been a fan of using Biggs, but it would clearly improve the list.

What i see problem here is that, your opponent can easy predict were you will move. As your plan hinges on green move, lets be honest here, ghost has great dial, but not great green moves.

So for example soontir, vader, poe, coran, even guri i think and others can easy arc dodge you. Yes you will have a lot tokens, yes it's a nice idea, but if you shot only with dorsal turret, they are not scared of that.

But could work. Would be nice to hear how the list performs, as I'm skeptical a bit here :)

What about?

Kanan Jarrus — VCX-100 38
Advanced Sensors 3
Autoblaster Turret 2
Recon Spec 3
Chewie 4
Ghost 0
Ship Total: 50

Ezra Bridger — Attack Shuttle 20
Rage 1

Autoblaster Turret 2
Hera Syndulla 1
Phantom 0
Ship Total: 24

Biggs — X-Wing 25
r4-d6 1
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 26

I like the idea of both at PS 5 and Ezra pooping out for either ABT or Prim with essentially a focus TL. Also gives the Ghost essentially 2 extra shields to allow him to live to end game (maybe).
