Biggs walks his Wookie

By Rinzler in a Tie, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Going to try this out for funsies - I wish it had a bit more fire-power but I sank a lot of points into the Chewie build.

Disclaimer : Yes, I know, if I really wanted to pull this archetype off I'd run Kanan and Biggs.

Biggs Walks his Wookie (100)

(Resistance) Chewbacca (54)

Crack Shot (1)

Gunner (5)

Jan Ors (2)

Millennium Falcon (1)

Smuggling Compartment (0)

Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Biggs Darklighter (26)

R4-D6 (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Airen Cracken (20)

Draw Their Fire (1)

You probably get the idea.

Airen synergizes with the Falcon for Slicer Tools or to give an evade for those times when Biggs isn't around. At which point your opponent may decide they don't like Airen buffing Chewie, so he's the next target. Proc'ing Chewie's Gunner'd revenge-shot twice - with guest appearances by Draw their Fire and Crack Shot.

Threw Jan Ors onto the Falcon so she can give an evade to Biggs (for when he's looking at one or two damage) OR stack double evades onto the Chubby Wookie. Considered C-3PO but I don't like Zuckuss in this meta. I require my opponents to have 4-LOM crew, too - occupy that crew slot on the Slaver.

Again, fun list. Quirky as far as Rebels go.

End of line.

Like the concept, but there's a couple issues. First and foremost, Gunner does NOT play well with Newbacca since if you use it you can't proc Chewy's ability for the rest of the round. I'd personally drop it and Crack Shot and add in Predator and 3P0, but I'm sure there's other options if 3P0 isn't your thing. The other thing I might try is Tactical Jammers instead of Pursuit Lasers on Chewy; they work really well in the Kanan version of this build and I see no reason why they wouldn't work here. If you do that you could put R2 on Chewy instead of 3P0 as an alternate way to stay alive longer.

Yeah, I've run a list similar to what DeathToJarJar suggests and it works pretty well. Tactical Jammer is great, especially paired with Draw Their Fire on Chewie. I also named my list "Biggs walks his Wookiee." ;)

I did not realize that about Gunner. That's killer.

Predator would a lot better, but I like Crack Shot for Chewie's revenge shot. No one likes Jan for Biggs? I though that was a smart move. Gunner has to go, though...

Stonestokes, did you use Newbacca? Okay, so I'm listening about Tactical Jammer. Plays into how I thought I'd fly this list.

No, I used the old Chewbacca, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with Newbacca. Predator would probably be better on Newie than Draw Their Fire.

Old Chewie and Draw Their Fire were made for each other, though...
