Any suggestions for a b wing build escorted by 2 t70 xwings, one could be poe? Im split between ibtisam with wired and hlc or ten numb with autoblaster and targeting computer. Nothing to exotic not got a lot of cards.

Ten Numb and autoblaster, or ptl Keyan

Targeting computer adds the Target Lock action to your ship but the B-Wing already has this without upgrades so don't add that. Maybe you meant fire control system. That is a good one that comes with the B-Wing expansion so you should have that.

It depends on what expansions and cards you have. Do you have 1 T-70 from the new core set and one from the expansion pack or 2 core sets?

If you only have core sets you can have:

Ten

Autoblaster

Fire Control

Poe

BB-8

Wired

Blue Ace

R5-X3

Poe gets to change one focus result when he has a token, but if he is stressed and didn't get an action, wired lets him re-roll all his focus results so he is usually going to get good results in any situation.

Blue ace gets to pick from 5 different directions when boosting and if he gets in a tough spot near an asteroid, he can use R5 to move through or onto OR boost through or onto an asteroid with no penatlies.

If you have the T-70 expansion, then Ello Asty is fun to fly and Red Ace with Comm Relay is tough to kill.

EDIT: Of course if you are just playing casually with friends, you can look up what all the cards do and print off anything you like. If it is a tournament though, you most likely have to have the actual, FFG cards, ships and tokens.

Depends on what you have available. I love Nera Dantels with some Deadeye, Torpedoes, and Guidance Chips. Add FCS to taste.

I should check on where all the upgrades are from but how about:

Po8 + R2D2 + IA + Adaptability

Red Ace + Comm Relay

Nera + FCS + Plasma Torp + Extra Munitions + Guidance Chip + Adaptability

I'll admit Blue Ace is also a possibility but no Comm Relay there which can shake some other things up as there are 5 more points to spend. At that point I wonder about Ten instead of Nera; you lose the out-of-arc threat but when combined with Guidance Chip the torps are guaranteed to hit.

Too many sources for upgrades I'm seeing but the idea would be two hard to kill T-70 (Poe regens and Red Ace + Comm keeps Evades it may get from round to round after taking a Shield hit) while Nera's Torps could be a bit surprising to someone not expecting the out of bounds torpedo shot. Adaptability on Po8 to let him push PS 9 but on Nera to match the Red Ace and give some activation/attack flexibility.

While he may get damage through I'm really not a big fan of the high cost but short range of Ten + Autoblaster. A Wired Ibtisam may get a lot of rerolls once stress but she still doesn't get actions when stressed and a lot of the B-Wing dial becomes unusable.

I ran:

Wes-

VI

R7-T1

IA

Biggs-

R4-D6

IA

Nera-

Deadeye

HLC

Proton Torps

EM

Enhanced Scopes (so Nera can't be blocked)

GC

They aren't T-70s but this list was fun for me. Max out damage with Neras Deadeye and Wes using R7-T1 before Biggs dies. Nera Deadeye is great for area denial too.

Excellent thread title, I love how descriptive and non-vague it is.

I guessed your post count as 12 before I opened the thread. I was 5 over.

So what you're saying is... you were wrong?

Trailed ten with auto blaster which was sucessful but I worry about him being torn apart at range 1. Ibtisam with hlc I like but not sure the cannon is worth it.

Ok, good to know.

With those sets, if you are trying to do it with just what you have, the elite upgrades available to you are; Wired, Draw Their Fire, Veteran Instincts, Elusiveness, and Expose.

Wired works fairly well with Ibtisam. Both this and her native ability allow her re-rolls when stressed and the B-Wing has some very useful moves that are red. She can get in close in the fight and use her 1 speed hard turns and 2 speed K-turn to stay on enemy tails. Since this gives her re-rolls already, fire control system may be a bit redundant, but not necessarily useless. I would probably not take that and use those 2 points to switch the Autoblaster to the Heavy Laser Cannon. You will be rolling 4 red dice at all ranges when attacking.

Next I would take Poe with Veteran Instincts and BB-8. At pilot skill 10 he will be moving last and shooting first in most cases. He can see where all the enemy ships went and then use BB-8 and/or his boost action to get out of arcs or into the best shooting position. Depending on your third ship, you might have a few points to put a hull upgrade on him too.

Excellent thread title, I love how descriptive and non-vague it is.

I guessed your post count as 12 before I opened the thread. I was 5 over.

Even the most uneducated Ugnaught knew he meant a B Wing and two X Wings. With over 3000 posts I thought you would have known that. Bravo PGS..Bravo.

thanks this has been my thoughts too. Not considered the hull upgrade though, had been trying to get weapons guidance in.

The thing about Weapons Guidance for Poe is you have to spend his focus token to just get 1 hit. Poe wants to keep the token as long as possible since he can use it for every single defense roll. If you know your enemy is only going to have 2-3 ships it might be useful once in a while, but for 3 points the hull upgrade will always stop one damage.

When they made Weapons Guidance they probably priced it a point too expensive.

If you rearrange your bedroom you might get out on the right side occasionally.

Having a thread titled BXX is pretty clear what it is about. The only problem with it is that it really should be going in the squad advice sub-section instead of on the main board.

It is certainly MUCH better than the ******* click bait threads that could be so much more informative if they just added another word or two to the title.

I was thinking of putting weapons guidance onto the other xwing, maybe R5 automech and intergrated astro on both xwings. But I might be putting too many points into the vet, and making things more complicated when i need to find cards. I see your point about hull upgrade being more useful than weapons guidance on poe when it comes to keeping him alive.

Hmm. The real challenge is your limited cards. Still...

Should be amusing.

1.) It is not clear what it's about. It's about 2 X-Wings and a B-Wing. That tells me very little about the list inside of the thread.

2.) Have him put his vaguely titled thread in a forum filled with similarly vaguely titled threads. That will surely get his thread lots of responses, it won't die with 2 responses or anything.

3.) The click bait threads are awful, I agree. Their titles are about as vague and useless as the OP's though.

Your 1 & 3 are somewhat contradictory.

While it's in the wrong forum, to be sure, the thread title is much better than the usual fare around here. Other than perhaps a single additional word - making it "BXX ideas?", for instance - the title is fine. And for a rookie player, I'll happily forgive posting in general for what-should-I-build rather than what-do-you-think-of-my-build, absolutely.

So, y'know. No complaints here. I just hope we've been able to help the dude.
