8 die attack found on reddit

By bgrelle, in X-Wing

Dang ol dang!

"found"

As if it was somehow hidden.

And here go... wait for the cries of "Palp Aces have been nerfed" to begin!

two problems with that build

1) Entire list is focused on that singular attack. No biggs protection as a result. As Fickle will quickly point out, no biggs = dead arc VERY quick.

2) I shoot first (palpaces)

I don't think it is meant to be competitive

I mean it's got freaking expose on it

Honestly don't know why unless you're going for just range 1, because a torp would be many times more effective and leave your ept for ptl while bb8 leaves you free for chips

Oh right Finn is primary only herpderp

I'd rather have torp jank personally but I understand the point here is to hit max possible dice

Woah! When this sweeps the Meta, what will survive?

even at his cost im glad hes primary only....

Last thing we need is ordnance getting an extra shot (Concussion = that blank is an auto hit) - even if Rebels arent very good with ordnance as of right now.

Eh, he might actually be worth using if he affected all attacks. As it is, he's pretty much auto-include on Rey, too situational on everybody else (for his point cost). It's not like Rebels are drowning in ordnance, and this would still be restricted to a single ship.

And nobody is going to actually post the combo for those of us who want to stay as far away from reddit as is humanly possible?

Here you go:

Norra Wexley: BB-8 (2) Expose (4) Finn (5) Alliance Overhaul (0)

Shara Bey: R5-X3 (1) Draw Their Fire (1) Weapons Engineer (3) Alliance Overhaul (0)

Jan Ors: Jyn Erso (2)

Total: 100 points

...snip...

TL;DR

Norra gets 2 dice base + Alliance Overhaul + range one + Expose + Jan Ors + spending her target lock for her ability + Finn

Then target lock rerolls from Shara and focus from Jyn.

Are you afraid of catching internet leprosy or something?

From Reddit? Yeah, it's not 2012 anymore.

No, it isn't good. But anything that can one shot an aggressor using only hits deserves a thread.

Perhaps surprisingly (at least it was to me), the X-wing subreddit gets just as much, if not more valuable discussion than this forum. Especially as of late it seems.

Very interesting and theoretically (in a ignorant vacuum) sound. Application against any player above novice, suicide. Very quick dismemberment of the system at its heart. Me being a novice with a pint in hand when you come over to play it; you'd probably roll 8 crits on my Soontir.

Biggest problem with the combo is you get an awesome norra and a **** useless shara

So it is basically 0 net gain over a less silly norra and an actually useful wingman :P

Even better, you can kit norra out with r2d2 which drastically increases her survivability and late game potential

But again, the point is to hit 8 dice not to hit it in a competitive manner

" and is harder to get off than a person watching Jabba porn."

That, right there, is why you stay away from Reddit.

You're not going to do anything to Vessery with 4 agility, evade, focus, palp. Maybe you plink the stealth device off but that's it.

Also, now your list is based around making up for the fact that Expose is a **** action, and that Norra and Finn's abilities only do anything with focus or rerolls respectively.

When you can hit someone's invincible Palp Acewing with a 5/5 hit APT + Zuckuss rerolls and do a mere plink damage, there is nothing you can do.

With 8 hits? I believe that's three damage through, sir. :D

Actually that is my biggest issue with him, having been useable on secondaries as well would have increased his niche a lot.

I heard that if you say 'enitaplap' 'etinaplap' 8 times each night, for about one year, in front of a mirror with the lights off, holding a candle in one hand and the upgrade card in the other... Palpatine appears and grants you one single nerf.

Yeah, I realized soon after I made the post that I was stupid and wrong and that you would likely get at least some damage through, but I figured that it didn't matter anyways everyone will think I'm automatically wrong just because I'm brash so **** it. You guys will hate me anyways. Hooray for senseless hyperbole!

It's still ridiculous that you need 5+ dice to ever get damage through, and I think it isn't that wise to base an entire strategy around what is essentially a B-Wing with an additional health with no Biggs cover. If you chased the amount of attack dice a little less and put Biggs in there then maybe it's worth a try.

I wish there was less of an importance on what list you are flying and more on just being good at the game and outplaying your opponent. When you roll 8 attack dice against something you should get more than 3-4 damage. Any normal ship gets hit with that and it's gone.

Reddit is OP.

My party bus calls it a "cool shot bro" xD
