Chewie and Chopper

By krazyivan1942, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all,

looking for some feedback on this list that I'm looking to take to a tourney.

Chewbacca (56)

YT-1300 (42), Push the Limit (3), Kanan Jarrus (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Millennium Falcon (Evade Version) (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

“Chopper” (43)

VCX-100 (37), Fire-Control System (2), Hera Syndulla (1), Hull Upgrade (3)

I have also considered these other options. Chewie stays the same, but changing options on Chopper.

“Chopper” (43)

VCX-100 (37), Fire-Control System (2), Hera Syndulla (1), Ezra Bridger (3)

*seeing that Chopper will be stressed most of the time, changing a focus to a crit could be helpful.

“Chopper” (44)

VCX-100 (37), Fire-Control System (2), Hera Syndulla (1), Nien Nunb (1), Hull Upgrade (3)

*same as original build, but with Nunb to help clear stress.

“Chopper” (44)

VCX-100 (37), Fire-Control System (2), Autoblaster Turret (2), Hera Syndulla (1), Han Solo (2)

*removed hull UG, added ABT with Han changing focuses to hits. Hopefully keeping ships out of range 1 shots.

What do you think?

Hull upgrade on Ag 0 ship is a bad trade. I like chopper version 3 the most, followed by v1.

The Chewbacca build is extremely tanky, but it unfortunately doesn't deal enough damage to justify its points.

If you go up against Inquisitor, Soontir, or any x7 Defender, those 3 dice (even with TL and focus) aren't going to cut it.

I highly recommend switching to Predator, C3PO, Gunner on Chewbacca. You can still keep the title to tank up, but EU is probably overkill when you don't have PTL.

You can instead use those extra points to turn your Ghost into a beast. Drop the hull upgrade for Autoblaster Turret, Plasma Torpedoes, and Extra Munitions (if you downgrade to a Lothal Rebel).

Those upgrades make your ghost much harder to deal with since you now only have blind spots in the R2-3 side bands, whereas before you had blind spots everywhere except the front.

Im with zerotc, with only two ships and 2-3 turns a ship, you need to do some serious damage and quickly. Or you'll be blown off the mat by turn 4-5.

I was flying this list recently and it was a lot of fun .. 99 points...

Kanan's ability helps less damage get through both ships, while the crew combo on Chewie works great
