Pictures of the last unspoiled cards from HotR at SPIEL 16 in Essen, Germany

By Farlander, in X-Wing

Also,speaking of phantoms...the trick shot on echo is interesting...

If you can't move echo to put rocks in the way you should be checked for fever.

Anyone else agree that the cost is right for Hot-Shot Co-Pilot?

Uh ... yes. It's a very good card. It will take some thought to use to its full extent, so some people will definitely not see the potential.

So copilot is SO CLOSE to fixing our jm5k problems

That wording,though, allows ocr4 triggers

And therefore it is junk :(

If it were cheaper itd be utter hilarity on a few cheap crap quadjumps to set up shots...but holy **** 4 points

Ditto hilarious gunner combo....9 points

Sounds like new palpmobile and canor jax has a new combo. Sorry you cannot spend focus and you cannot attack without spending a focus. THOU SHALL NOT FIRE UPON THY EMPEROR THOU HERETIC!

And if Echo's not shooting because she's already exploded, it doesn't help at all.

There's still no better EPT for Phantoms than VI.

i kinda like copilot.

Considering you can spend a focus even if you have no eyes to convert, thats "almost" as good as Wes just flatout going "that focus is gone". Lots of times ive fired at someone and they opted to take 1 damage and save the focus for the real heavy hitter that hasnt shot yet.

Almost said Dengar + Trickshot would be awesome, but then i realized Dengar would technically counter out Trickshot lol

Party Bus has a new way to burn through the token stacks. Though I wish it was a little more clear on timing.

What timing? They have to spend a focus, meaning when they would normally spend it on their dice when defending or attacking they spend it whether they want to or not (benefits from it or not). Timing would be an issue if it was remove a focus

Sensor Jammers, juke, etc timing is relevant. Though timing should be right after rolling, before regular modifications. Which means you can burn the focus, than force the juke and leave them without focus against that. Han with Juke becomes an option now. ^-^

There are some very good 5-7 PS pilots wandering around in the meta right now. And Echo especially is the one I can see not needing it, because she can get out of many arcs.

But the shuttle is out of crew slots once it has palp.

Is there a new Han pilot that's in a small ship ?

I'm still waiting for Han to pilot the Tyderium. Come one FFG Rebels were supposed to have a Lambda Class Shuttle before a TIE Fighter.

But the shuttle is out of crew slots once it has palp.

In any case, the card pretty clearly says "...if able"

Presumably that's to cover cases where the other ship has no focus tokens at all - but a situation where they have focus tokens that are "locked down" (by, say, Carnor) would also seem to trigger that caveat.

Was actually hoping the generic falcon would have the poorer stats, there's only one falcon, the generic is a bog standard old freighter and should have worse stats but got a huge price reduction

So, ORS? ;) Funny thing, ORS might actually be nice to keep in the tool kit due to those very reasons. Add in a Smuggling Compartment with some tricks, Jammer and/or APL's to it's 27 pt base and I see some fun times ahead. Not meta or anything but fun to fly around.

Did anyone else notice that Hot Shot Co-Pilot is somewhat countered by the first few tech upgrades? With Weapons Guidance and Sensor Cluster you at least have something to use your focus token on. Maybe FFG is trying to rescue these upgrades from the trash pile. It's more likely they secretly hate R5-P9 on Poe and want you to use BB-8 but just a thought.

Hot-Pants Co-pilot with Auto blaster is hilarious! Nothing says you can't spend the focus so you must. It just won't do any good.

Found out why the resistiance pilot doesnt have an EPT...

Shoot me, you lose your focus. Then I shoot back, with opportunist.

Looks like the Co pilot upgrade is the answer to the u-boats

Iam happy :)

Co-pilot is primary only.

And I like that newbacca.

Wonder if trick shot works with dash crew, get one extra attack dice and remove thier bonus defence dice, but I think the wording on both makes that impossible.

Edited by Aresxero

Copilot causes issues for Moldy Crow and Rey crew as well. Jyn Erso crew seems a bit more resilient.

Wait is that a falcon ORS or should I say a non-unique modified YT-1300?

also translation please.

Reacted also that the rectangular dish on tge model fits not to the card contained in the same expansion.

Translates roughly to

"After the destruction of the Hosnian System many spacers joined the Resistance in order to fight the atrocity/ cruelty of the First Order."

Crew: Co-pilot ace

When attacking with a primary weapon, the defender must spend 1 Focus token, if able.

When you're defending, the attacker must spend 1 Focus token, if able.

works both ways.

But if the attacker does not have a focus token then do they still get the attack. I would think so.

Yes, they do. All copilot does is FORCE the opponent to spend their focus token normally. If they don't have a focus token, it does nothing.

That said, really looking forward to seeing 5 A-wings with trick shot instead of adaptability.

I am calling it now. 5 A wings with Trick Shot is going to be called The Flying Circus.

And now, Poe is deffinatelly dead. Rest in peace mr. Dameron.

And yet another massive over reaction from the Forum.

We need a sky is falling in on the game picture, can someone oblige me?

why would you want copilot and sensor jammer?

its not a remove the focus, they are forced to spend it. jammer is literally wasted unless they didnt have a focus to begin with, in which case copilot is pointless.

I think the assumption is that Whisper is shooting 1st which spends the token and so guaranteeing the effectively free evade from sensor jammer... since otherwise Whisper is dead without the ACD cloak anyways...

This. Whisper shoots first forcing the focus to be spent, meaning she always gets the SJ jammer against the target. It also helps against gunner(which all glass cannons hate). The ship with gunner always wastes its focus on the first shot, so the second will not have a focus even if it comes up with 4 eyes. It just so happens whisper+Palp+OL come to 100 points. Copilot also helps out OL for the same reasons.

Not only that, but kill my friends and I shoot, strip your focus, and use opportunist when it's my turn to shoot.

On a side note, why doesn't Zuckuss have the limitation that opportunist has, where it cannot be used if you are already stressed. I think for 1 point, it should have had this limitation.

If only dash crew and trickshot could have synergy but NOPE.

I dont know how completely out of left field this is, but you made me think.... Dangerous I know, and I believe you are the first to mention it, FFG are making Opportunist a thing again. It was an expensive EPT that had too many caveats to work. But with Teroch, it could get some revival.
