Han and Keyan

By cybercat07, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Does anybody else think this is a good combo? Idk if this is considered "fat Han" or if its just some crackpot theory floating around...

Han Solo (58 total)

-Engine Upgrade

-Millennium Falcon

-Push the Limit

-Kyle Katarn

-Nien Nunb

Keyan Farlander (41 total)

-BWing/E2 upgrade

-Push the Limit

-Advanced Sensors

-Ion Cannon

-Jan Ors

So the idea is to get these two into the middle of the board...PTL and de-stressing gives Han a focus...Keyan & Jan will turn that into an evade so the Falcon can last a bit longer. Keyan will PTL and use that stress to ionize people or shoot them down. Let me know what you think, fellow internet people!

If you want to use PTL + Kyle for token generation then it works much better with Kanan instead of Nien as you can clear stress on any white. You need 2 extra points so maybe drop the Ion cannon?

Well I want the stress on Keyan. So wouldn't putting Kanan on the Falcon distress Keyan and then null his pilot ability?

Kanan's ability is once per turn IIRC. Also it is "may". That means you can use him to clear your Stress on the Falcon but leave the Tokens on Keyan to power his shooting.

I'm a bit confused...are you saying I should put Kanan on the b wing or the falcon?

The falcon, in place of nein numb.

Okay...but if I do that wouldn't Kanan destress Kayan? Or is Kanan allowed to destress his own ship?

Kanan can de-stress his own ship. You're always at range 1 of yourself, so unless the card specifies "another" friendly ship (which Kanan doesn't) abilities like that work on yourself just fine. Same goes for Jan for that matter, which will be useful for keeping Keyan alive. Definitely like this list!

If you are looking for points, you can drop PTL on Keyan to Stay on Target (2) or Rage (1). Stick with Advanced Sensors with SoT, but if you swap to Rage, you can also drop that to FCS. That's a -3 point change, which frees up space for Kanan. If you drop the Ion Cannon (which is a good idea, as 1 damage and ion from a B-wing isn't going to make the cut in the long run) that would be another 3 points available. You could throw Torpedoes on with all the free space. Or Missiles on the Falcon. Or keep Nien and throw HLC on Keyan. Kind of a pick your flavor thing.

Torpedoes of some flavour + extra munitions would get my vote.
