Ten Numb and...

By Dalcor, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have recently get my hands on cheap B-Wing.

I want to try list with Ten Numb but dont know about the support. My idea was this list...(also its important to say the other ships from Rebels I have are YT1300, A-Wing, X-Wing)

Kyle Katarn (27) HWK-290 (21), Dorsal Turret (3), Recon Specialist (3)

Ten Numb (38) B-Wing (31), Fire-Control System (2), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Veteran Instincts (1)

Poe Dameron (35) T-70 X-Wing (31), R5-P9 (3), Veteran Instincts (1)

What do you think?

It actually seems pretty solid to me. I don't think I would change anything, but I don't have all the upgrades you're using, and so haven't ever used them. Still, R5-P9's effect seems to work effectively with Poe's pilot ability.

I tend to run Ten Numb in a squadron of three B-Wings, but I usually set him up as follows:

Ten Numb (31)

VI (1)

Mangler (4)

E2 (1)

Gunner (5)

Not sure what the point of Gunner is here. He's very unlikely to miss when shooting a "Mangler Cannon." The whole point of putting one on him is to practically guarantee a critical hit, which would mean Gunner would practically never trigger.

And that is the fact I have learned over the course of a few games... I have considered using Recon Specialist... still not sold on the best crew.

It is an evolving build, in it's current incarnation.

Drop Kyle to a stresshog and its a pretty good Wave 7 meta ace killing list.

I'm also not sure what FCS does for Ten Numb. I think that the best setup is the cheapest: VI+Mangler. If they're running dodgy Aces like Soontir he's a huge priority target, so put as few points into him as possible. He doesn't even need any support, really.

Though if I had to do SOMETHING with him, I'd actually do B2 with Hera Syndulla crew. Since he's mostly action-independent for his offense anyway, it really opens up his dial to do multiple reds in a turn.

If you have Tycho Celchu, something like Rage, Chaardan Refit, Push the Limit, Autothrusters would do wonders, but I'm guessing you don't have Autothrusters - or Rage, probably.

If you've got the points spare, you can do worse than Jan Ors. A B-wing able to evade is a disconcerting sight.
