Fat Rey / Fat Cassian (Jyn/Jan) List and ideas for U-Wings

By kokerin0, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi guys!

I've been theorycrafting with the U-Wing and I wanted to share one of the ideas with you. I also want to receive other ideas with it! I think it'll be a funny and effective ship.

Cassian Andor (38)
U-Wing (27), A Score to Settle (0), Sensor Jammer (4), Jyn Erso (2), Jan Ors (2), Pivot Wing (0), Experimental Interface (3)

Rey (61)
YT-1300 (45), Push the Limit (3), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

The main idea is to ensure Rey makes as many hits as possible with EU to range 1/TL/Focus/Finn + Pilot skill and never being stressed thanks to Kanan (for S-Loop) and Cassian's pilot skill for removing K-Turn/PTL stress.

So, you have many choices: you can EU for closing the gap to the enemy, focus, TL, swap a focus for an evade with Jan Ors crew on Cassian, get focus/evade from Jyn Erso crew on Cassian. The main idea with Cassian would be to buff/support Rey but also have some damage output with A Score to Settle. Both of them have some survability: Rey with Finn (2x defense dice) + reroll blanks, focus/evades from Jyn/Jan and Cassian with title (2x defense dice), extra focus from Jyn, evade from Jan, Sensor Jammer. This list should be a pain in the ass for a lot of lists.

A con I find is the U-Wing dial. It's true you can remove Cassian's (EI) stress with Rey's Kanan, but you may need greens, and they make you predictable.

What do you think about this one? I'm so excited with it and want to play it asap :<

I'm completly open to tips/suggestions and new ideas :)

I stayed up late last night and landed on something pretty similar.

Cassian Andor — U-Wing 27

Veteran Instincts 1

Advanced Sensors 3

Jan Ors 2

Jyn Erso 2

Experimental Interface 3

Pivot Wing 0

Ship Total: 38

Rey — YT-1300 45

Push the Limit 3

Finn 5

C-3PO 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Millennium Falcon (TFA) 1

Ship Total: 61

Your list looks more solid than mine. I didn't read the C-3PO part where it says "before modifying the dices", so with Rey and Finn Crew you can have up to 3 evades once a turn, and at least 1 with rerolls.

I love the idea of getting focus/evade on Rey from Jyn/Jan even while stressed.

I can't wait for getting U-Wing Expansion :P
