Kanan Miranda

By DXCrazytrain, in X-Wing Squad Lists

A couple weeks ago I started a topic about a Rey/Norra build that ended up being a Fat Rey/Miranda TLT build. Now I realize Miranda is much better fully loaded but that means she needs a different partner. I settled on Kanan without the shuttle because Miranda can be the 2nd TLT shot and I think her bombs are a more effective use of points.

It's the standard build for this pair and I can't think of any way to improve upon it. What do you all think? Is it tournament caliber? What do you think it is strong/weak against?

Please, thanks, and fly casual.

Not sure how valuable EU is on a PS5 ship. Also Kanan only gets one action and will usually want it to be Focus. I just have a hunch that there is a better use for those 4 points, even if it is just replacing Chopper with Chewie to keep Kanan alive that little bit longer.

I saw few games with similar builds and played vs similar builds. As much as i want to like it, not that competitive build. Depends what you like.

And also i agree with Karhedron, that EU is not that great on Kanan. Yes you might boost out of arc in some cases, but more often that no, will be no big use. If you had Ashoka near Kanan, maybe yes. You can boost later before combat.

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I'll drop EU and add Rey crew to the Ghost and Seismic Charges to Miranda.

TerTer, what do think makes it not competitive?

Dropping the EU is a good move. Rey crew might be good on the Ghost but I was going to suggest another Rec Spec.

Kanan with its 0defence and no Biggs gets shot down pretty easy. Even with his -1attack dice on enemy. Also when u have no shuttle, u need to turn around and lose actions, rey might help a bit.

In general it bleeds a lot MoV, so if tournament is with Top cut, might be hard to get in cut.

PS. I want to fly ghost but everytime i do, if no biggs it goes down fast, very fast, that makes MoV really bad.
