Red Dice Cap (max amount of red dice)

By shotbyscott, in X-Wing

I respectfully disagree with placing any limits on red dice being rolled.

+1

There should be a green dice maximum :P

Agreed, after rolling 10 green blanks on one defense: flip table and go home.

How are you getting to 10 (functional) greens? Most I can get to is 8 I think, in a couple of ways.

8 reds can be done repeatably albeit highly jankily. 9 is possible once, in two different ways, both of which feature Norra, Swarm Leader, Finn, Cool Hand and Jan Ors.

Not sure how to get 10 green, but I can manage 9 with this cheese build:

Prince Xizor (37)

StarViper (31), Virago (1), Stealth Device (3), Cloaking Device (2)

Kaa’to Leeachos (17)

Z-95 Headhunter (15), Bodyguard (2)

Trandoshan Slaver (30)

YV-666 (29), Tactical Jammer (1)

Xizor base 3 +1 Stealth Device +2 Cloaked +1 Bodyguard Kaa'to +1 if behind YV-666 or obstacle +1 at range 3 = 9

Suppose you could get 10 if Zuckuss pilot was shooting you but that's all I can see.

Edit: can even get 9 greens with slightly less-cheese/fewer points/more room to customize:

Talonbane Cobra (33)

Kihraxz Fighter (28), Cloaking Device (2), Stealth Device (3)

Contracted Scout (28)

JumpMaster 5000 (25), Bodyguard (2), Tactical Jammer (1)

Thats a bingo!!! Change Kaato with Guri for some reroll ;)!

If you want to do this with just 1 ship, as soon as the Rebel TIE comes out, pick a pilot, add the title, Cloaking Device, Stealth Device, Finn (maybe Lone Wolf if you want to make that blank mean something), get to Range 3, get behind a rock, and let Zuckuss (pilot) shoot at you!

I think the red dice creep is real. EVen when I started playing a year or so ago, 5-die attacks were a significant outlier obtainable only really by Phantoms, little-used EPTs, and Advanced Proton Torpedoes. And N'Dru.

And Talonbane Cobra.

It's strange... everyone keeps telling me how 6 dice attacks are so common, and yet I played 8 games at worlds, 6 at the FFG regional, and watched a bunch of the top table games and never saw it happen once... seems like a problem. Nerf needed. Rito plz.

Yay the most expensive TIE/ln evah! Still at most 30 points.

Nope, you can put Luke on it and make it more expensive. And Hot Shot Blaster. And Expertise.

that should a Kylo Ren card :)

Make it epic and have a ship with an EM Emitter obstructing the shot. That gets you to 11 green dice (12 if Zuckuss is the attacker).

If we're going epic I'm sticking with a StarViper with Stealth Device, Cloak and a BodyGuard Tactical Jammer Contracted Scout. That puts me at agility 7 and when getting hit by a Single Turbo Laser bumps it to 14. +1 for Tactical Jammer. When the C-ROC comes out sit your starviper and bodyguard ship behind that with EM Emitter as you mentioned and you're sitting at 17 defense dice. Looks like I need to buy more dice!

Leave the red dice alone!

Don't forget to put Engine Upgrade on there as well to bring it up to 36 points. And if you want more upgrade cards, instead of Luke, you could go Sabine and Proton Bomb.

I was throwing 6 dice with Han in 2013 at R1 and rerolling 4times. I am pissed by the power creep though. It was way cooler when only I was doing it.

Hmmm, have you heard about our lord and savior 2.0?

Have you heard about thread necro?

No. Attacks throwing 6 or more dice are rare, and usually the list is built for that one trick.

I was running a double ghost list this weekend for our store championship. The ghost at rang 1 with Finn slowed me to roll 6 dice. I loved it.
