CrackDraw

By kyten44, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello, thanks for looking at my list idea. Please help me make it better while keeping the theme intact.

The theme is to have a mini crack swarm with some sort of ace. I was thinking about QD because i just got a tie\sf.

My question is does this list have enough fire power to deal with dengeroo and X7 Defenders? Will any miniswarm plus ace?

I like it, even if I still prefer the other TIE/sf unique over Quickdraw...

I'm just wondering about the interaction between Rage & Electronic Baffle. Would the baffle make you take 1 damage to relieve both stress? Or 1 damage per stress? Could you remove both stress with it at all?

I think it is one damage to remove 1 stress. I think you still keep one. I could be wrong.

Each stress triggers Baffle separately, so you could take:

  • 2 stress
  • 1 stress, 1 damage
  • or 2 damage

Pretty sure you can't take two damage,to shed 2 stress. Baffle only works for one stress each time you receive a stress token. So you couldn't baffle the 2nd rage stress in a following turn and also couldn't choose to baffle both stage stresses off in one turn either.

You're incorrect.

Each stress token received is a separate opportunity to trigger Baffles.

You're correct that you can't baffle a stress you already have, though, so you have to choose as soon as you receive each stress.

It's kind of a moot point anyway though, QD will almost never want to baffle more than one stress from Rage.

Is there an email ruling/faq update yo confirm? This has come up several times in my game store and it'd be good to clarify with something solid :)

Not explicitly in the FAQ but there's an email I think.

It doesn't really matter either way; as noted it's almost never going to be the case that QD actually WANTS to baffle more than one stress anyway.

With the TIE striker Preveiw up, I had this Idea for QD

Quickdraw 35

Rage

Electonic Baffle

Special Ops Training

Lightweight Frame

Sensor cluster

with rage giving a focus token for sensor cluster and LwF a psuedo +1 agility, would it net out to more HP for QD?

I'd take it but I think the rage/baffle build is a gimmick. I've tried it a few times and loved it, and then laughed as Quickdraw is quickly blown up. My favourite way to build her is with FCS + other stuff and have her as a horrible target opponents don't really want to shoot (like Dengar except she can shoot back at ANY target in arc).

Id probably try something much simpler like FCS, lightweight frame + stuff.
