New Meta Blank Dice?

By Marinealver, in X-Wing

Still having a hard time thinking about good uses for Finn outside of Rey or ships with Lone Wolf.

that's because there aren't any :(

and you should always care about making full use of the upgrade when it's 5 freaking points so I personally would not bother unless you can get both sides of it working

Lone Wolf/Rebel Han's ability doesn't actually synergize that well with Finn.

Yes, you get a blank, but it only helps you if you didn't roll a blank in the first place. For 5 points i'd want something a little more general.

I don't play rebels much, but wouldn't something that can equip autothrusters be good with finn? There may not be such a ship, however. Yet. Still, a die that is guaranteed to be blank would be nice with AT.

It really depends on the ship but I do think his costing is probably done with some future-proofing in mind.

Yeah...aside from Lone Wolf in the super valuable EPT slot, which like, you then have to base your whole list around, I see like...Ibtisam with PtL clocking in around 37pts? So then you like...have the firepower of a Ghost with 8 less HP and 2 more agility, and very limited mobility? Hrm....pass.

What really hobbles Finn is the arc restriction, the falcon works by boosting out of arc if it's jousting it's dead with TB and crackshot in rotation.

Your just use those sloops to get arc and be out of arc.

Sloops makes it worse because then you've got no evade action, also if it's carrying Finn you don't want to be at range one so you keep your distance eliminating the chance it'll be out of arc.

I've never lost to brobots with HLC so a falcon with Finn won't trouble my defenders.

Rey with Cool Hand, Kanan Jarrus, Finn, with new Falcon Title.

Rey performs a White 3 Bank.

Title kicks in to rotate 180 and gain a stress.

Cool Hand kicks in to deliver an Evade Token.

Kanan Removes the stress.

Normal Action takes place to add a focus or Target Lock.

Turned to face the opponent, so Finn adds an extra blank Die to primary attack and defense.

At range 1 you have 4 rolled and one blank dice for the attack. (Better than Brobots)

For defense, you have an evade token, a rolled dice, plus one blank die - which Rey can reroll.

More Fun? Add Smuggling Compartment, Glitterstim, and Countermeasures to flip all those pesky focus results and add one to the agility for another Evade dice to roll to help with incoming range 1 attacks.

Granted, Cool Hand, Glitterstim and Countermeasures are used in that turn, but the potential of up to 5 hits and 4 evades at range 1 with the Falcon is Glorious...

Would we be more willing to use this version of Finn more places if he simply added a blank attack die and the defense portion wasn't there? Because right now we're staring at a card where like, it's really hard to use both sides of the utility.

If this crew upgrade only applied to primary weapon attacks and they dropped the defending piece, would we be more willing to accept it as viable increase to attack power for 5pts?

If not, what would be the reasonable price to pay for an extra blank attack die, that you could reroll into something real? 4pts? Would it be too good at 3pts?

I am kind of in love with the fact that if it were cheaper and attack only, it'd make Finn a terrible gunner type crew who like, you had to do extra work to make effective. Stormtrooper shooting, as someone else cleverly pointed out. Good times.

I think most of the discussion is on his offense because the defensive half is even more situational given the fewer ways to use blank green rolls.

Next update we'll have somebody who gains tokens if you rolled a blank.

it'll be me

I grant evade tokens as a pilot ability when rolling inevitable blank greens

but my ship is 0 agility

15,006 posts. 14,500 of them bitching about your dice. Sure am glad that hasn't gotten stale yet!

not as stale as people complaining about me like they have nothing better to do :rolleyes:

sometimes I wonder why certain people even bother posting if they're just going to focus on my posts about dice and utterly ignore all the posts I've made regarding the new ships of wave 9 and 10, trying to find effective uses of them

I even have one in my signature!

it's the KK wing, just two of them glued together. And it's 0 agility

"I fire plasma torpedoes for four hits"

"KK"

Sounds like this guy. http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/5b/Deathraven.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130812181434

Someone has since broken that artist's fingers right!?

Not sure, but it made it into the Lagacy part of SW: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deathraven

I want to see 2 YT-1300s joined at the Olive.

Here we go. Scum epic ship.

Why stop at two, wouldn't you want to take a KKK wing into battle? :P

You can fly it with your YV- 666.

Rebels now need a ship with crew and the boost action. For Finn and auto thrusters.

Jesus. The Klan just lynched someone a couple months ago. This is _not_ funny.

Pfft. I was rolling blanks before it was cool.

Next thing is we will have some one who was a fan of ARC-170s until Wave 9 was released. :P

Because I don't need to sift through a 15-1 ratio of dice-whine posts to actual content. Signatures? Do people not have those on default ignore? I don't need to see how many toys everyone owns.

Here's the bottom line, brother: If you don't like dice, go play Wings of Glory so you can complain about FickleTokenBags. This is an AmeriTrash Dice-Game. No one has ever thought or expected otherwise. You're like an ******* who gets a dog and then never stops complaining about having to go home to let it out. You knew what you were getting into it. Either get rid of the dog or stfu. It's not amusing or endearing.

Bottom line, "brother"?

Oh! You're hulk Hogan. No wonder you're impossible to take seriously

Hey, man. You were a hilarious entertainer, but if you had the time to go through all my posts to accurately ascertain a 15-1 ratio of complaint to content, then you REALLY need to find yourself another hobby. I have to assume you did so, because if you just asspulled that ratio then it is pretty meaningless

Or, more simply, just remember this simple fact:

You don't pay me

Therefore, I don't owe you a **** thing

If you enjoy incorrectly perceiving how much I complain in order to have something to complain about, great more power to you etc it is your time you do what you want with it

But if your life is so cushy and dull that it actually bothers you,ay I suggest ...oh I dont know, maybe not reading it?

You can do so by skimming or ignoring or just not visiting the forums altoghter

There are no negative consequences for these tiny amounts of effort

After all, whichever way you choose to cope, you will not be missed

Rebels now need a ship with crew and the boost action. For Finn and auto thrusters.

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed. Sadly it ain't the U-wing so we will have to wait until at least Wave 11. :wacko:

My Green Dice are absolutely ****, so I wholeheartedly agree with 14,500 of FGD's posts.

The rest of them?
