Getting Fenn an Evade

By ArbitraryNerd, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Stupid list I put together, with the sole intent of getting Fenn Rau and Evade token.

I will eventually playtest it... in a non-competitive format...

========= Evade Man =========

100 points Pilots

------

Fenn Rau (30) Protectorate Starfighter (28), Adaptability (0), Autothrusters (2)

IG88-C (37) Aggressor (36), Attanni Mindlink (1), Collision Detector (0), IG-2000 (0)

Manaroo (33) JumpMaster 5000 (27), Attanni Mindlink (1), IG-88D (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

You can, if you're feeling lucky (punk), drop Autothrusters and try to use those extremely valuable two points somewhere else in the list. I don't THINK the Protectorate title is the way to go, but maybe it is. Or you could try and give the IG something so its not just there to help Manaroo generate evades... Or maybe give Fenn Attani Mindlink as well...

Fenn is the only real hitter in this. He should have at least one focus and one evade every turn:
IG uses action to focus, which triggers Attani mind link.

Manaroo boosts for an evade.

Fenn does whatever action he wants, either positioning or focus.

Start of combat, Manaroo passes focus and evade to Fenn.

Please feel free to try and make Manaroo passing evades to someone else work :)

Adaptability???? Bleh. I would also not even think of dropping autothrusters, otherwise, why bother trying to get an evade token if you can't stack evades?

I think giving at least mindlink to Fenn is the way to go if you really feel intent on doing this. Although ultimately, these 3 pilots are too expensive to really get efficient use out of them in the same list...

You literally can't give him anything other than adaptability, if you're keeping autothrusters. You could do the title and Attani Mindlink, I suppose. But you'll only ever be able to spend one Evade Token per attack, so that's only useful if he's being targeted multiple times. Which he probably is, because all the other points in the stupid list are running awayyyy.

And of course this list is a gimmick.

For my next trick, we'll try it with Kad & Juke!

Fenn Rau at PS10...I like it! And no, I think I wanna be able to do a Tallon when I want, at PS10.

I think I will try this! I played naked aggressors before, that's not a problem (:

I don't think he needs Mindlink. If you focus with C and boost with Manaroo you have the focus/evade covered. I say go all out and drop adaptability and autothrusters from fearlessness and title. You still will have the option to reposition with focus/evade or TL/focus/evade with 5 dice +1 hit range 1 and 4 dice +evade when defending.

Second idea, drop AT and adapt for juke. You will be getting the evade. Could be good for funsies, make that 5th dice really hurt with TL/focus/juke.

Could drop the Mindlinks for Lone Wolf on Rau. You lose the action economy, but aren't hurt as much by stress. Then Rau also has Thrusters/extra die + Focus + Evade + re-roll on defense. (This does mean Rau himself has to take Focus, though, and it's right at 100 points which is less than ideal.)

I did very similar list for sole purpose to get evade for Fenn Rau and it will leave you 4p to play with. I like the idea, but I never tested it yet.

As a HUGE fan of Juke (current long list I've been playing with since Veterans is Vessery and OL w/ Juke), I like the latter idea. I'm not AS big a fan of a PS9 ship with Juke, but it does come with the benefit of making your opponent have to spend tokens on defense, which adds a another layer of security for Fenn. That, or you really punish them for not focusing.
