Rey and Han

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

So I have been kicking around this idea but would a two Y-1300 list be competitive in todays format. Using Han and Rey would bring the total to 91 points which is tight but there is some wiggle room, I think expert handling would be funny on both ships Jan Ors would be good also to pass a evade token along and if you keep the evade title on the same ship both would have evades each round.

Anyway what say you kids am I wrong to dream a dream. I know for fun my wife is going to be playing both of these ships together when they come out see we play for fun so anything goes.

I'm hoping in one of the future waves or expansions we get a Rey crew card with a similar ability. Then you could effectively have 2 Lone Wolves :)

well, we're getting Rey crew in the same expansion as pilot Rey, so hey

I'm interested to see Chewie and Han's new pilot abilities. It would be great if they were somewhat synergistic with running a second Yt-1300, even if incidentally. I think Chewie might be the better choice points-wise.

Although Lando handing out a boost to Rey with EU before slooping sounds pretty hilarious.

Oh nice. I didn't see that part!

...learn something new everyday

Chewie should be some kind of defensive perk to other ships ala Biggs but not in the same manner. Perhaps his original anti-crit shenanigans only work once per round BUT once per ship in range 1-2?

Chewie is awesome.

Chewie is awesome.

I feel like your bias but I cant figure out why.

it's not a bias

Chewie is a fuzzy wookie but not all fuzzy wookies are chewie

Daily reminder of how stupid FFG was for not making the MF title +1 attack die like Punishing One.

you want a Phantom PWT or a Falcon with a Phantom stapled to its front arc?

or a 2-die base YT-1300 with a Punishing One esque title?

if it's the last thing, I completely agree with you. The jumpmaster has a ton of flexibility thanks to not having to pay for a 3-dice pwt, allowing it to focus on far more interesting capabilities (mainly torpedoes and bumping)

while your generic YT-1300 will NEVER fire its single missile like a jumpmaster, it could have been a stupid hilarious blocker

for example:

Intel Agent, Leebo crew (boost), smuggler's compartment --> feedback array

note you can still do this with the ORS, but the ORS is overpriced garbage. still, might be worth it for the laughs

Double Falcons is absolutely awful in this meta. Torpedo Scouts will kill a Falcon almost instantaneously. TLTs chew up YT-1300s with ease while generally being able to tank multiple return shots before dying. Palp Aces will likely take zero damage from Falcons, since with Autothrusters, Palpatine, and token piles it will be statistically unlikely to land hits. Omega Leader can solo a Falcon slowly but surely. Crackswarms can drop a Falcon very quickly, and Dual Falcons has always struggled against swarms. Rebel Regen, while almost non-existent now, has always posed a problem for Dual Falcons since their damage output is low and struggles to overcome the Regen quickly enough.

So good luck...in the current meta the Falcon has five terrible match-ups and no good match-ups.
