Poe and han

By kewlguy360, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello everyone, I just got the falcon and wanted to try it out. So, I put han at the cockpit and Poe with him.

Han solo (46)

Predator (3)

Jan ors (2)

Recon specialist (3)

Engine upgrade (4)

Poe dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Comm relay (3)

Auto thrusters (2)

R5-p9 (3)

This is 98 points for a small initiative bid. You may be thinking... comm relay on Poe? So here's my theory, turn one, they both one straight and Poe focuses, but Jan ors makes it an evade and he keeps it.

So he has an evade lying around for extra defense. Jan ors also stops the need for the title as paired with recon specialist gives han focus evade every turn. Thoughts please.

I like it.

The Comm Relay will probably get used only once. After that, Han will be keeping Jan Ors busy. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's somewhere between a shield upgrade and a hull upgrade, but for 3 points. So it's about as efficient as either of those upgrades. (It's better than a hull upgrade because you can block a crit with it, but it's worse than a shield upgrade because R5-P9 can't regen it.)

On the other hand, if you change VI to Juke, then you will be using your Comm Relay + Juke every round that you attack, plus that one time in the end game where you need to spend the evade token to stay alive or block an important crit.

The downside, of course, is that you lose PS advantage over Imperial Aces. But you still have Han.

I'd go for Lone wolf on Han & adaptability on Poe => 96 points

Iv actually used this build, very fun

I put Adaptability on Poe to give you the option to choose who to move first

And then do PTL on Han to get Focus Evade Evade if needed to

Unfortunetly due to the updated FAQ, you cannot use both evades on the same defence roll

But dtill effective

Poe is more powerful and can turtle with PTL, but VI keeps him out of arc far better. Makes him **** hard to kill :D I took comm relay for a while, but most often you aren't willing to forgoe that focus, so too situational for my liking.
