Black Market Rey: all the illicit slots, all the time

By Imperial Mike, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, with both Wave 9 and HotR coming we're about to get some new tricks and toys.

There's been some chat about the Black Market Slicer Tool and just how good it is (or isn't)... what ever the case I think the Scum stuff is looking amazing.

I am concerned there is a small risk the Rebel and Imperial ships are now lagging behind the current meta and may suffer the fate of the G1A (but that's a whoooooolllllleeee different conversation).

Anyhoo, moving on...

Given we're certain the new Falcon comes with Smuggler's Compartment it will the allow Rebs to get their dirty hands on illicit upgrades. I'm thinking there's some potential synergy with the new Falcon

"Black Market Rey"

  • Predator/PTL/EPT?
  • Title - Segnar's Loop
  • Kanan
  • Gunner (Recon Spec?)
  • EU
  • Smuggler's Compartment: BMST

Some potentially nastiness there?

"Glitter Rey":

  • Predator/PTL/EPT?
  • Title - Segnar's Loop
  • Kanan
  • Gunner
  • EU
  • Smuggler's Compartment: Glitterstim

There's other crew members worth considering: Gunner/Tactician/Kyle and especially Recon Spec. Heck I think Leebo makes a cheap alternative to EU.

Before BMST I was thinking Ezra/PTL just goes so well, but not so much.

Thoughts, comments and critiques most welcome.

No engine upgrade. The smuggling compartment card has been spoiled in a post somewhere, it's a mod but it allows you to take an additional 3 point or less mod. So no engine upgrade.

Thanks! Good to know!

So options include: SD/Hull+ or Shield+ for tankiness.

Or.... Experimental EU and Lando. LOL.

Gunners good... Ezra is good too, and cheaper.

Right, it will take some thinking on if the gain of an illicit is worth the loss of boost. However I'm thinking it might be at this point, but I fly cheap vader decimators so I probably am not the most unbiased opinion lol.

I would be tempted to add Kyle Katarn. It means you get an extra bonus Focus token every time you clear a stress (easy to do with Kanan also on board).
