4 U-wings?

By imzeke21, in X-Wing

Will 4 Blue Squadron Pathfinders (U-wings) with Fire Control Systems be viable?

Hmm probably not, I can't see them having the best dial in the world. So I would guess they would get outjousted.

As viable as four Omicron Group Pilots with FCS and Anti-Pursuit Lasers.

if it don't work for B-wings, it won't work for Us

the sometimes extra agility isn't really that huge a difference, esp considering how unwieldy large bases are and ESP without barrel-roll

the U is most likely going to have to exploit the **** out of all the swanky new rebel crew coming along with it, though you can already do some fun stuff with FCS + Jan + Rey

at the most basic level, it gets you a U that has a target-lock, focus AND evade (use Rey and have focus as an action) every turn in addition to providing Jan support to the rest of the squad when the U carrying Jan isn't the optimal target

that's really not bad , esp since Cass (the most expensive) gets it for only 33 points

That's good. Now I don't have to buy 4 haha

But surely the U-wing's dial will be better than the Lambda, right? Right? At least it has an extra agility or can turn around though.

I would consider them a single purchase unless they come with cards you want multiples of, or some interesting combo build like Dengaro is possible.

not necessarily

we have a 2 green bank, but that's arguably worse if there's no 1 green bank also attatched

and if it doesn't have any white turns, it'll be a pretty bleck dial

the only thing we can say for certain is "thank the force for pivot wing", because the poor lambda can't 180 :P

but mostly, the B-wing jousting profile just hasn't been enough since Wave 7 and that's why a mostly-naked jousting U won't work no matter what the dial is

keep your eyes peeled for exploitable combos!

That's the truth. Rebels are all about the combos now. I'm pretty excited for the crew it will come with and all. Wave 10 can't get here soon enough

for a bit of negativity, though, I'm peeved that Cass can't target himself

he's the only U that can expertly handle things, damnit!
