Captain Rex = Mini Biggs?

Is Captain Rex in his

That about sums it up.

He's worth his 14 points, but remember that when he fires his condition must be applied. So even if he shoots a target this turn, next turn he'll have to tag the same one to keep it suppressed.

Yeah or he just tags another one...

With the number of 2-3 Ship lists we see currently, losing one attack die on a ship is a big deal.

Why not just pair it with Biggs, for fun?

Negate one attack almost completely, with some fancy flying.

Negate one attack almost completely, with some fancy flying.

Nice idea with Kanan, but the damage output suffers a bit if he can't get his shuttle...

What about sticking the two with a Fat Han. When the opponent is finally done with Biggs and Rex, Han will probably be at full health and then he can start his own old game of PWT arc-dodging...

I would have said Rey but she really likes to be mobile and not stick too much to Biggs.

Well, you can play for time, your opponent will spend a lot of effort on Biggs.

Or you can frustate them even more:

He's cheaper than a prototype pilot, and a better blocker against most stuff, and has a Biggs-like ability. I think he'll be a winner.
