R3 and Snap Shot

By WAC47, in X-Wing

I was so excited, because a two dice unmodified attack would give you a decent chance of an evade if nothing else. R3 could have been usable on low PS pilots. Alas, it was not to be... because R3 is primary weapon only.

its hilarious.

Every. Single. Spoiler we get after R3 makes us hate that mech even more and more.

Hands down the worst mech in the game. i'd rather take the action - possible repair over him. Least then i can come back a little stronger after a disengage where my focus isnt useful anyway.

I like R3 on ships i wont generally have focuses on. turn a useless result into something. you can combine it with juke as well to again turn a useless result into some extra offensive punch.

Is it fantastic on every ship? no not really but i am sure going to give a try on some Comm relay/juke T-70s... do something like tl or a red maneuver so i dont have a focus, shoot cancel a focus add an evade result then procing juke to help push another damage through, use the evade defensively or keep it for next turn.

It can also say take a range 3 shot against a token stacked ace and at least give you an evade for the turn because you were not doing any damage anyways.

Myar ffg ****** it super bad

Not like praying fir random foxus on two dice would make it remitely playable though

M9g8 sorta makes up for it though. It is a fascinating droid

Except now T-70s can take Pattern Analyzer and ignore the stress from the red maneuvers until they've picked up their focus. I suppose you could always take target locks... but I'm not sure how much that gets you in the long run.

Please try it though and report back. I really want to believe.

True that. I'm so glad M9-G8 is good.

M9-G8 is one of those funky droids that are going to do sneaky things for quite awhile.

Annoyingly accurate ship? TL him and just trollololol him all day with a forced reroll on that natural crit.

Need your buddy to hit more reliably? TL him, instant buff!

Its also a great turn1 action dump. Majority of ships dont even take an action first round, such a waste! But unless you can boost/barrelroll/LRS/bank a token (and actually want the boost/barrelroll) theres nothing you can do anyway. This gives you a slight edge in the initial joust if you'd rather focus or something with the ship M9 is on.

only "problem" with m9-g8 is his forced enemy dice re-rolls are more effective when they don't have focus

but Palob is a scum hwk :(

we need rebel carnor jax, stat!
