Is Expose Good for Anything?

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

Railgun Zuckuss is a nice Expose gimmick.

Zuckuss

-Expose

-Experimental Interface

-Advanced Sensors

-K4 Security Droid

Advanced Sensors Focus, EI into Expose, green maneuver for TL.

In the combat phase, using his ability, you're sitting at 5-6 red dice with TL and focus token.

Best part is, it can't be stopped by blocking. Adv.S doesn't care and K4 doesn't care, so long as you have a target you can shoot. In fact intentional bumping with greens ups the Railgun's survivability.

Try it, you might like it. I think a key wingman is probably Palob.

That looks like so much fun. especially combined with Palob and Fin

I have not tried it yet, but I want to fly a Decimator (like said before) with Expose.

Bossk might be a half decent candidate with Dengar. I know the Debgar/Zuckuss/4-LOM Party Bus is the much superior (and cheaper) build, but slap Dengar in him for mods and Bossk could throw a hell of reds.

By the same token, Dengar. If you're willing to forgo the usual upgrades a d are getting a stack of tokens from Manaroo anyway.

Okay.... I really want to try this:

Zuckuss (41) G-1A Starfighter (28), Expose (4), K4 Security Droid (3), Advanced Sensors (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Kath Scarlet (47) Firespray-31 (38), Trick Shot (0), Tail Gunner (2), Homing Missiles (5), Slave-1 (0), Long Range Scanners (0), Extra Munitions (2)

Binayre Pirate (12)

in the topic of R3, no hes worse than expose.

Expose has a home on the Decimator at the very least. There is ZERO ships that want R3. You either pay through the nose to get Comm Relay/Juke on a ship that normally cant do that, or you pay less for a better mech. I'll take generic R2 Astromech over R3 any day. Having 2turn greens is a godsend.

Kath Scarlet (47) Firespray-31 (38), Trick Shot (0), Tail Gunner (2), Homing Missiles (5), Slave-1 (0), Long Range Scanners (0), Extra Munitions (2)

Going slightly off script here, but...

Mandalorian Mercenary (38) - Trick Shot (0), Tail Gunner (2), Rigged Cargo Shute (1)

:lol:

Pretty much the Rear Admiral is the best place for it with Experimental Interface.

TL+Expose+Mini Focus into crit makes for very accurate 4-5 dice attacks. Better take some helpful crew though to minimize its downsides, though.

I like:

RAC + Expose + EI + Moff Jerjerrod + Rebel Captive + Darth Vader

You hit EVEN harder with Vader, the opponent is stressed as well with Rebel Captive, and Moff protects you from Blinded Pilot.

I have found Expose to be pretty good in my Rey-Jan Sledgehammer, especially against other 2- and 3-ship builds.

I wish I could claim credit for this but the runner up of a tornement a friend of mine was at last weekend had this in his squadron:

Thane Kyrell (31)

ARC-170 (26), R2-D6 (1), Alliance Overhaul (0), Expose (4)

Thane focuses as his basic action then when another ship is targeted uses Expose as his action from his pilot ability.

I like that. With Thane's PS being so low there's a good chance he's able to defend before activating Expose.

Aiming for the golden 7-dice shot... Have you gotten it to proc yet?

Actually generally when i do the EI + Expose RAC i slap Palp in there.

With 4/5 dice, its pretty common that 2 of those dice after rerolls were not hits/crits. Often theres 2 focus or focus blank. Palp has solidified the 4/5 hit way more times than i can count lol.

Usually i put Rebel captive as the third slot. Reason being, PTL is a stupid common card, and any PTL user suddenly does NOT want to shoot at RAC and if they do then i get a free shot next round on an unmodded defense, or they opt out of PTL entirely which is just as good.

Nope. But I regularly get 6 hits/crits.

I'm calling this build " Charlie's Angels "

Norra Wexley (29)
R5-P9 (3)
Expose (4)
Finn (5)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Shara Bey (28)
Adaptability (0)
Jyn Erso (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Jan Ors (25)
Trick Shot (0)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Nien Nunb (1)

Total = 100

Here's how it works:

Norra has Focus tokens from Shara's Action sequence with Jinn (crew)

Norra has a target lock from her own (previous round) action sequence

Norra attacks in her primary arc at range 2-3 = 3 Dice Total

Jan uses her special ability on Norra and receives a stress token (+1 Attack Die) = 4 Dice Total

Norra has Finn as a crew upgrade and has met the conditions (+1 Blank result) = 5 Dice Total

Norra has used her Elite Talent "Expose" this round (+1 Attack Die) = 6 Dice Total

Norra spends Shara's Target Lock activating Norra's special ability (+1 Focus result) = 7 Dice Total

Norra rolls her "natural" 5 dice and then spends her own target lock on any blanks plus the blank from Finn

Norra spends a Focus token on any (including re-rolled) Focus results including her own +1 Focus Result

Now take the above recipe at Range 1 and you now have 8 Dice Total!!!

On top of that, Norra also has regen abilities with extra Focus tokens (from Shara's Jinn crew member), Jan has stress removing help with Nien Nunb, you have two pilots at Skill Level 7 and one at Skill Level 8, you have one turret and two with Auxiliary Firing Arcs, two strongly armoured vessels and tonnes of fun rolling 7 to 8 attack Dice!!! Have fun and God bless :D .

It was good for a tournament win with the aforementioned Rear Admiral Chiraneau/Experimental Interface combo (piggybacking off Ysanne Isard in the combat phase). This was before 4+ attacks were the norm, so 4 (5 at R1) + TL + RAC's ability caught a lot of people by surprise with the damage output.

If only the ghost could take an EPT.

Expose really is one of the best upgrades for decimators i build similar to what others do but i put on Isard and EI off that at the start of combat for a suprise now its 5 dice not 4 thanks for boosting into range 1

If it didn't cost an action i would use this card on almost every ship

To anyone who thinks it is the worst card in the game you must have forgotten saboteur

Rear Admiral Chiranaeu with Experimental Interface.

TL with action, EI into Expose, his ability mods a focus to a crit at range 1-2.

And even then, Predator and Engine upgrade is a better outfit for him, at the same price.

And by quite a bit. Engine Upgrade on a Decimator is an absolute bargain.

Dont need to run when your rolling 4-5 dice a turn. Killing ships faster is always a better choice boosting away. If that is why your taking engine. And woth all the defenders flying around the more dice the better

Behold the double buzzsaw upsilon list!

Kylo ren

Expose

FCS

Engine upgrade

gunner

Operations specialist

Hyperwave comm scanner

Lieutenant Dormitz

fcs

engine upgrade

Gunner

operations specialist

hyperwave comm scanner x2!

set both pilots "ps" to 12 so they are placed last, set dormits up with kylo ren at range 2 up ahead, give kylo ren 2 evade tokens.

Shoot forward 3 with dormitz and boost as his action.

Kylo moves forward 3 and uses expose. Large chance both ships are in range of a target (kylo could even be range 1)

kylo attacks with 5 dice, lets say he misses or they are evaded, cool first dormitz and kylo both get a frocus from operations specialist, kylo gets a TL on the target and now gets to gunner 5+ dice with a TL and focus, dormitz gets to follow up with 4+ dice with a focus that can then roll, miss, get TL and 2 focus again for mods

Expose + ei keyan can be alright.

Bb8 expose fcs Ei corran horn can be amazing.
