Kylo ren + saboteur

By Oberron, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So lets say I used kylo ren to put blinded pilot on a ship and get a crit through.

Could I just keep using saboteur to keep that ship permently blinded (dice willing)?

Follow up question more about saboteur.

If a ship has multiple face down damage cards on them and I know one of them is blinded pilot how do I pick cards randomly? What is the "randomly picking a card" mechanic in X-wing?

1: Yes, you could. This would be a really bad use of your actions, most likely.

2: There's no explicit rule about it (and honestly I don't think there should be) but if they're all face down I don't think you're supposed to know which is which. If I were a TO I'd rule that your opponent should shuffle the face down damage cards on the ship concerned together out of your view, then hold them out and get you to pick one.

1: Yes, you could. This would be a really bad use of your actions, most likely.

Why? IMO that idea sounds extremely fun.

Decimator with Palp and Sab and EU (for better positioning into R1) and title (for no need to worry about bumping and actions) and Upsilon shuttle with Kylo and their Coordinate action and every turn you are almost 100% that the enemy is going to suffer the No attacking problem. At least one of the enemies. And it is enough that the enemy ONCE does suffer a critical result (even into shields!).

That is killing most of 2 ship lists (maybe besides those that are very mobile, like Dash, but on the other hand if you use low PS ships you can move before them and trigger sab without additional issues and the enemy is not attacking. Even Gunner will not help in case of the new damage deck (am I right?), but Dengars return fire is unaffected.

This means that an enemy ship may be running around with not more than one shot through the whole match...

EDIT: Moreover, later in the game you may ensure with Kylo that none other cards are dealt as facedown, reducing any luck factor to almost none..

EDIT2: Something like this: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v4!s!97:140,-1,-1,132,39,-1:15:3:;227:172,195,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron It's a pity that there is no room for Academy TIE, but... meh, whatever.

EDIT3: Final NoMoreShooting! squad: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v4!s!97:140,-1,-1,132,39,-1:15:3:;227:172,195,40,204,-1:-1:19:&sn=NoMoreShooting!

Noted down, I will definitely check that list :)

*shrug* all that ship has to do is run out of range for a turn or two.

And if you're using your crew, your actions and PALP on Saboteur...

Well, I'm totally fine with that, my other ships will kill you to death whilst you waste your time on that.

I am using Actions to stop one of your ships from attacking and I am doing that in the activation phase, before your chance to shoot so even if you escape for turn or two then you have to come back to shot, but you won't...

Plus, PWT on Deci plus 4 dice Shuttle will do good being able to shot at your other ship(s).

Definitely, this is best to tackle two ships lists, but hello - this is rather for fun list than top tier new meta defining list...

OK, so, thematically, how exactly are Kylo Ren and the Saboteur conspiring to permanently blind an enemy pilot?

Saboteur: "Sir, I have found a way on to the enemy ship, but what do you want me to do when I am over there?.

Kylo Ren: *Dramatically takes off helmet and hands it to Saboteur* "Put this on the pilot's head and keep it there. It's ******* impossible to see out of that thing"

Kylo IS the saboteur. He's just your average radar technician then suddenly one day EMO FLIP OUT LIGHTSABER CONSOLE RAGE

I'm dying over here. This is worth 100% of your final grade.

Let's say it this way...

The Emperor, The Grandson and The Naughty Saboteur are sitting in a bar.

Pair of eyeballs lies in front of them.

- OK we've got them. What now? Ideas? Anyone?

"Why do you want his eyes!?"
"I don't want his eyes, I just want to see if I can take them!"

"Why do you want his eyes!?"

"I don't want his eyes, I just want to see if I can take them!"

But can you steal his pants?
