Handsome Scoundrel Seeking Partner

By Greebwahn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a wingmate for a 2-ship Lando Squad. I know Lando isn't very popular, but I find him interesting.

Option 1:

Lando Calrissian (44)

Millenium Falcon (Evade) (1)

Elusiveness (2)

Kyle Katarn (3)

Jan Ors (2)

Concussion Missiles (4)

Shara Bey (28)

Alliance Overhaul (0)

PTL (3)

Weapons Engineer (3)

R2-D2 (4)

Seismic Torpedo (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

My main concern here is whether or not Shara will be able to get a shot off when she has to fly close to Lando. If she can, however, they both have a target lock, a focus and/or and evade, and a one off stronger shot.

Option 2

Lando Calrissian (44)

Millenium Falcon (1)

PTL (3)

Kyle Katarn (3)

Weapons Engineer (3)

Esege Tuketu (28)

TLT (6)

Jan Ors (2)

Advanced SLAM (2)

Conner Net (4)

Seismic Torpedo (2)

Extra Munitions (2)

This list fixes my main concern with the last list by having a turreted ship accompany Lando. In an ideal circumstance, Lando has 2 target locks, a focus for defense, Esege's focus for offense, and an evade, while Esege has a Target Lock for himself or else already dropped a bomb.

I'm also debating having Miranda instead of Esege so she can stand on her own better, and maybe a Gunner or Luke on either Lando.

Thoughts?

I know you are looking at Lando, wanted to let you know I have seen this list do well casually

Han Solo (62) - YT-1300

Push The Limit (3), C-3PO (3), Gunner (5), Millennium Falcon (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Esege Tuketu (37) - K-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), Recon Specialist (3)

I would stick to Esege over Miranda, unless you want to give Lando a PS boost. Lando pairs better with ships of equal or lower pilot skill value. With higher pilot skill squadmates you limit Lando's maneuvers, because if he moves out of range his ability is useless to a ship that hasn't activated yet. If a ship moves before Lando, it is more likely to be in range 1 after Lando executes his maneuver.

I prefer Lando with Nien Nunb, but then he needs squadmates with more speed than a K-wing. A YT-2400 can do it. Eaden Vrill is getting better with increasing number of lists that take stress on purpose.
