Operation Specialist + Mindlink = anyone?

By Cerve, in X-Wing

Hi guys!

I was thinking about this combo that on paper interesting me. Did anyone thoghts something about it?

OS+Gunner+Mindlink seems work on paper. The thing is refill focus tokens for all high ps aces who spent it attacking.

I was thinking about a bit of brainstorming. What do you think about it? Any build, combo, thought is accepted

What ship would you put it on, is the real question. It's a combo, but it's not a combo that really fits into any lists right now; Parattani has no points spare, and anyone with a crew slot is much more likely to want Dengar to get rerolls, than Op Spec to get a focus if they miss, particularly as most of those crew slots are on low PS ships.

The only ship that can take Op Spec AND Gunner AND Mindlink is Bossk and... well, that's probably a reasonable build to try.

Zuckuss/Ops-Spec/FCS gotta fit somewhere. But you end up missing a 3rd of your firepower for a focus token (Admittedly a focus token After Teroch/Palob and after Hotshot VI RAC, and a possibility before his ace)

That's the real issue with Op Spec - without also including Gunner, you're speccing to benefit from missing, when you'd be far better off just speccing to hit.


For the same points, you can just get Dengar.

Yep. In fact, Bossk seems the only one who can do that combo. But thinking about it I've got an idea: TLT's will trigger OS easly. Maybe using it with Mindlink was a bit too, but using it as an alternative to mindlink?

Operations Specialist on a Mindlinked Manaroo seems like a good idea..

I think that TLT will only trigger Operations Specialist if both attacks miss.

Owh, really? Oh for that timing...meh, I had to re-read the sheet.

Yeah it's true: after both the attacks. Fine, nevermind about the TLT
