What do you think about the combination of Biggs + R2-F2 + Jan Ors + Jyn Erso

Jan and Jyn can be on different ships or together on a Ghost or U-wing (possibly with tactical jammer)

So Biggs with 3-6 defense dice (when stealth device instead of integrated astromech) with one or more evade/focus dice does sound terrible for the opponent.

Maybe I am a bit too optimistic, because when I face such a list I would try to spread my ships to avoid triggering Jyn Erso too much. Off course spreading is sometimes not so easy.

Alltogether it looks like a good (defensive) combination for me.

What do you think?

Bizarrely I came up with this list last night.

Basically you can throw all the tokens at Biggs you want but if he blanks out with R2-F2 you're screwed. Kinda leaves Jyn useless. R4-D6 mitigates this, and Cassian can remove the stress from the 2+ hit results that go through.

Thane's great for Biggs. You have to target Biggs, and Thane loves it when his team mates get attacked. So give him Weapons Engineer to give two target locks and then there's M9-G8 to mess with the attacks on Biggs.

If you want to be really evil you could remove the VTs and EUs and add Guidance Chips and Plasma to make people feel really sorry for shooting at Biggs.

I think that unless you're seriously good at flying Biggs, then your big supporter ship goes down first. It's not THAT hard to get a large ship in arc while keeping Biggs out of arc, and without any defenses whatsover, it'll go down pretty hard.

Sounds like someone doing to wrong

Yes! I also thought about including M9 droid. Unfortunately it is boring for me to play with Biggs. I don't like the play style he is forcing you to do

Actually not that hard to have biggs near a big ship and be the target.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I can only base that on my own experience and when they're running tac jammers, they're trying to keep Biggs behind him, so I just angle my arcs to catch the front of the large ship. It's totally possible I'm just flying against bad opponents given how limited my local scene is, but I play against a decent amount of VCX+Biggs lists and I pretty much table the VCX without ever shooting at Biggs most of the time.

you can mod em all you want, but green dice are green dice

I'd honestly take r5-p9 over r2-f2 any day, or maybe even r2-d2 if you're going all-in with the jank synergy

which even I'll probably take a stab at, because that's so far what I imagine 2 U-wings + Biggs will bring to the table compared to 2 Ks or 2 ARCS (and I'm a sucker for dat wingspan, so you know I gotta try em)
