[Rebels] Regen and Ezra

By Whippoorwills, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I'm gonna try play some rebels and those regen lists have intrigued me. What do you think, could this list work? Hopefully Ezra will be quite impossible to kill and Poe will run around doing his thing and the same for Miranda.

Regen rules (100)
Ezra Bridger — Attack Shuttle 20
Elusiveness 2
Chewbacca 4
Ship Total: 26

Poe Dameron — T-70 X-Wing 31
Adaptability 0
R5-P9 3
Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 36

Miranda Doni — K-Wing 29
Twin Laser Turret 6
C-3PO 3
Ship Total: 38

Tough to kill perhaps but not rocking too much in the way of offensive power. TLT is good against big targets but against Aces you will be relying Poe for your heavy lifting.

Also, as much as I want to like Elusive Ezra, I just can't do it. Elusiveness is a pretty poor EPT, it is less bad on Ezra but that still does not make it good. I would really try to find the extra point for PTL. Evade + Focus/Barrel Roll will be much better than rerolling a single attack dice and Ezra's special rule means you can use the Focus to boost your attacks while the Stress boosts your defense.

The only benefit for Elusiveness is that you can chose to trigger it when you get attacked rather thanburdening yourself with stress unnecessarily. I would normally almost alawys go cheaper and get Rage or spend the extra point for the flexibility of PTL.

I like Ezra with Jan Ors and PTL. Evade, Push to Focus, convert to evade with Jan. Sprinkle in Stealth device.

I've tried it twice last night and I didn't really perform the way I wanted it to. The Attack Shuttle worked well but like Karhedron said, the damage output was too low. So I guess it's back to the drawing board with it again.

Ezra + PTL + CP3O + Stealth Device + ABT = 31pts

Have Ezra evade every turn, then either br or focus for offense attack. He gets 2 evades every turn (one evade token, one guaranteed from 3PO) and 2 eyeballs to evade rolling three die. You could even guess 1 evade on three die with 3PO, and roll evade eye eye and block 5 hits! ABT gives him a range 1 threat. Aces waste their actions rolling and boosting away from ezra. If you need an extra point elusiveness is a solid substitute for PTL. I like elusiveness because you are a lot more mobile if nobody targets you, letting your chances of ABT attack, but your offense ouput is crap as you can roll eye eye with ABT and do no damage.

If you were sticking with these pilots, I'd drop C-3P0 on Miranda down to Jans Ors, giving you the extra point to upgrade Ezra to PtL.

Now Ezra can double evade if things get hairy and he has proximity to Miranda, and Miranda can still protect herself a bit by taking evade tokens while regen-ing if she has to.
