Raging Cassian

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

I need a wingman for this guy!

U-Wing: · Cassian Andor (27)

Rage (1)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Inspiring Recruit (1)

· Kanan Jarrus (3)

Pivot wing (0)

small problem

Rage + sensors --> expertise

kanan --> FCS

you now have a strictly better version of the same ship, +1 point

--> action independent

--> no self stress

--> more stress resistant (lose expertise, but keep FCS)

--> focus can be used defensively always as the ept takes care of offensive mods

apart from kanan benefit ofc, but cassian's ability makes that slightly redundant

Hmmmm. I was thinking about putting Expertise on Rey though and I think there's only 1 card in the box.

If I don't run Rey with Cassian I will absolutely do your idea.

This is my working idea:

U-Wing: · Cassian Andor (27)

Rage (1)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Inspiring Recruit (1)

· Kanan Jarrus (3)

Pivot wing (0)

YT-1300: · Rey (45)

Expertise (4)

· Finn (5)

· Lando Calrissian (3)

· Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop) (1)

Lando is there purely for defense and gives an Evade almost every turn and maybe a Focus. 7 points left over for EU, not sure who to put that on.

ner you get two of them

which is a lot of points, but there they are

Points that are worth it!

So, I dump the Rage idea and go with yours. What about Rey? Should I drop Lando and put Kanaan on? Lando is every single turn, Kanaan is situational.

Lando is definitely NOT every single turn if you're using the Title. Kanan definitely IS every single turn you're using the Title.

Kanan on any ship with minimal greens is not situational. Especially on the Falcon w/ the new title. Thats a white 3sloop with kanan on board. Slap Kyle in there and its even a free focus! (not optimal if youre going Expertise though, plus no Finn)

Try to shed stress on the Falcon w/o Kanan and you'll quickly wish you had him around. Bonus is he doesnt have to be ON the falcon, but then you could have potential range issues.

Buzzsaw U-Wing with Chewie on board?

If you Lando every turn as your action you will almost always get 1 Evade token.

Are you going to S-Loop every turn?

If you're Lando-ing* every turn instead of Slooping, how are you planning on keeping Rey/Finn active?

If Rey's wingman is Cass, then Cass can remove the stress before Rey moves. And once again, you're not stressing or S-looping every turn. With Expertise, focus action is *ONLY* for defense - so I'm debating Lando for evades or C-3P0.

Rey (58) YT-1300 (45), Expertise (4), Finn (5), Lando Calrissian (3), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1)

Cassian Andor (38) U-Wing (27), Expertise (4), Fire-Control System (2), Gunner (5)

With this build I have 4 points left over for either Engine Upgrade or another crew on Cass (Chewie for more defense?).

Lando rolls 0 evades 39% of the time, so that's overstating his reliability, I think.

Bah, you're right. What I meant was you get SOMETHING almost every time with Lando. What is it, 65% chance of getting paint on a green die, right?
