BB-8 + Navigator??

By lewiscrisp, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So with the new ARC info being pretty hot atm, I had a thought about an odd combo.

As with other simultaneous events (such as the highly anticipated Rey w/ Kanan and Katarn combo.), I was wondering if you could reveal a green maneuver, triggering BB-8, perform a barrel roll and THEN change the dial using navigator to a different maneuver.

Obviously until the full movement dial of the ARC-170 is released, the efficacy of this combo is yet to be discovered. If it does prove to be correct though, it will potentially be possible to barrel roll and then change your green straight maneuver to a K-turn!

Quite useful for being hard to pin down

A proposed build for this could be

Baylen stram

-BB-8

-Navigator

-Alliance overhaul

+ plasma/flechette torps

Gives you a chance to remove the stress with his ability after a red maneuver.

Possibly not as good as a BB-8 + PTL build, but certainly interesting to see if the two have any Synergy

Pretty sure same bearing means you gotta keep the same manuever type

Ks aren't straights

Also small problem of bb8 + ptl if you dial up from a green to a white you're coming out stressed and won't be able to bb8 the following turn

Doesn't seem super great

For shenanigans, your go-to is still int agent

Well you wouldn't be able to k-turn after planning a straight, 2 different bearings sadly. Still a cool enough idea. About as cool as boba fett (empire) plus navigator.
