When attacking, 1 of your critical results cannot be canceled by defense dice (tokens etc..)
Does this also stop Palpatine from changing his crit result?

Palpatine can only change a dice rolled by the player who is fielding Palpatine. Ten Numb has nothing to fear from him.
Hahahha, I'm an idiot.
Ty ty for pointing that out.
Ten "The Sniper" Numb
I love him
Yup. I love him with Merc Copilot and HLC. Slow enough ship to STAY at range3 constantly pumping out 1-3 hits and a Crit (yes that mods even HLC to be a crit, since HLC kicks in after you roll before you mod and not for rerolls or mods)

The only thing Ten Numb doesn't like is Chewbakka
and the only guy who gets the last laugh anyway is Xizor. the rest fear the inevitable crit.
Chewie still doesn't like Ten Numb because even if he does get to turn incoming face-up cards face-down he still couldn't do anything to stop a [kaboom] from coming through to deal damage.

Mangler is 6 points cheaper than that combo and gaurantees you'll get a crit as long as you don't completely wiff. Merc Copilot+HLC starts at 41 points. I'm always hesitant to put too many points into B-Wings because they die so easily.
I've put a B-wing into a squad or two just to try different things and invariably it was the first ship to die. For a "tanky" ship, they can be remarkably easy to kill.
With the newer upgrades out there I've been enjoying the low-low cost Ten Numb + Adaptability (+1PS) + Mangler Cannon for 35 points. With the potential for one or more TLTs across the table it's not really worth spending more on a B-Wing. Two scum TLT Y-Wings with R4 Agros will obliterate Ten Numb, you need the points in your list to deal with them once he eats it after two rounds of engaged combat. Biggs Darklighter used to be a good Critacular-Ten Numb wingman, but even he can't withstand TLTs for long enough to justify the points; especially when you could spend those points on "Red Ace" (R2-D2, Autothrusters, & Comms Relay).
If Etahn A'baht was worth the points (which he is not, for the record) I'd fly Ten Numb + Adaptability along side him just to save on sure-to-die points.
