Different kind of Corran list

By bigunb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Baffling Corran (100)

Corran Horn (43) - E-Wing

Push The Limit (3), R2-D2 (4), Electronic Baffle (1)

Shara Bey (34) - ARC-170

Adaptability (0), Recon Specialist (3), R5-P9 (3), Alliance Overhaul (0)

Green Squadron Pilot (23) - A-Wing

Crack Shot (1), Ion Pulse Missiles (3), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Adaptability (0)

Thoughts? The baffle is to help with being ioned and possibly drop the stress if black market is close.

Edit:thanks for the catch underachiever.

I thought Prototype Pilot couldn't take A-Wing Test Pilot?

Oops missed that. Drop VI for adaptibility. Then go up to green pilot with adaptibility and crack shot. Same points.

Uh, dont baffle stress for BMST, you take a damage when you baffle, so you are just letting your opponent get exactly what they want, without wasting their own action! Tie xD with Ions are not too popular, and other forms of Ions are near non existent until EMP is released. For 1 more point you get FCS which will serve you EVERY game, EVERY round, and is perfect for Corran with his double tap ability.

Shara wants to TL for her ability, so recon spec doesnt gel with her ability without PTL or some other method to get her a TL. Norra on the other hand...

Maybe Try this

Corran + PTL + FCS + R2D2 + Hull Upgrade (for BMST threat, etc.) = 47

Norra + PTL + Recon Spec + R5P9 + Title = 38

Prototype Awing + Chaardin Refit = 15

I agree. hull upgrade is more valuable to Corran in a world of damage bypassing shields, and anything other than FCS on Corran is not using his ability to its best efficiency.

One thing wth the baffle to counter bmst was the baffle just gives damage which can be taken to my regen shield but bmst goes straight to my hull. The synergy with shara how she was set up was to give the z the target lock for his missile and give Corran a target lock to play with since FCS was dropped. Recon was so r5 would be an almost auto every time a shield dropped. I do like the idea of hull upgrade, maybe switching ptl for it would be more beneficial.

Just take advanced sensors. Then you end your turn with no stress when you push the limit, and BMST is no longer a threat. Baffle is too risky on a ship with only 5 total hull/shields, regardless of regen or not.

I've been running something similar: Corran + PtL + AdvS + EU + R2-D2 (best Corran), Norra + PtL + Tail Gunner + Overhaul + Vectored Thrusters, and a Prototype with Chardaan Refit.

49-point Corran is best Corran.

Just try it. You dial in a green (duh, since you've got R2 anyway), trigger Advanced Sensors, then PtL and clear the stress with your green. You can end up in so many different places, and you don't have to worry about slicer tools (unless your opponent has stress-dealers, like Asajj). PS 9+ can give you some trouble, but it's still difficult for them to nail you down considering how many different places you can end up.

Basically, whatever target they choose, it's the wrong choice. If they go after Corran, he runs away, focuses and evades, and regens while Norra hammers you down. If you go after Norra, you leave Corran til the endgame. And the Prototype? Well, that's just a round or two of free shots from the aces.

Hmm I like that and got me thinking of the other named pilot etahn. Norra's ability seems to synergize really good it appears. Throwing Luke on her, seems nasty. Shooting out the rear arc almost guarantees 2 crits when he triggers. Love Corran but unless I'm missing something this looks like an amazing crit machine.
