StressRey+Poe

By daxxglax, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Sure, they didn't have so much as a line of dialogue between them in the movie, but I was thinking of how to utilize the upcoming Resistance release with just the Falcon and the T-70

Rey

-Wired/VI

-Kyle Katarn

-Kanan Jarrus

-TFA Title

-Stealth Device

Poe Dameron

-Predator

-R2-D2

-Black One

-Autothrusters

Total: 99

Given that the TFA Title takes effect on a white, 3-speed bank, with stress being applied right after, you can abuse it every turn with Kyle+Kanan, gaining focus tokens along the way. Wired might be a little redundant, but combined with Rey's effect, it means you can re-roll nearly everything and save that Focus for the critical moment. Stealth Device is more of a stop-gap than anything, as the build sacrifices a more reliable defensive option like 3PO. Poe can, of course, be seasoned to taste.

I have kinda made the same list but wit PTL and BB8 Poe and Rey with PTL, Wired, Kyle, and 3PO. My quick question is how does Kanan effect Rey, I'm super confused because it say friendly ship range 1 to 2, not the ship itself?

A ship is always in range 1 of itself. So long as it does not specify "other friendly ship" in the text (like Howlrunner or Jonus) then it applies to the ship the effect is on as well.

I'd go Old Poe, VI+R5-P9.

Engine Upgrade on Rey.

Fully equipped Poe (tech slot included), both him and Rey clock in at PS10 for 100pts.

Yea I agree with Engine Upgrade on Rey. It's your best defense against any ship with lower PS.

Stealth Devices are generally reserved for agi 3+ ships. It probably won't provide any value on an agi 1 ship.

+1 for EU over SD.

I think I might be the only person who doesn't like Kyle on this falcon build.

The falcon doesn't have much use for target lock, (rey's ability covers re-rolls pretty well) and the only other action the falcon natively gets is focus...

Since the only actions the falcon has are focus and tl you'll most likely be spending your action to focus anyway, and with only 1 evade dice you're not going to get much value out of a second focus token.

Honestly I'd rather play lando over Kyle on this ship (although c3po or Jan ors is much safer and more reliable).

Kyle can work on the ship, but I think you need the engine upgrade before he becomes viable (at least then you can make good use of the extra action you're getting).

Actually... if you're going the Kanan + Katarn + EU route, you could always go with Daredevil as your EPT. It works with Kanan in the same way as the title and it makes it a lot easier to keep things in arc. The extra PS from VI might be better, but the Daredevil option seems like it could be viable.

How about this?
