Rebels - Tanky Rey?

By Izza, in X-Wing Squad Lists

We all know Rey can dish out the hurt, but cant really take it. Anyone tried running a tanky Rey build?

Rey- 61

Smuggling Compartment

Countermeasures

Falcon Title (Evade)

Push the Limit

Finn

C-3P0

Inertial Dampeners

Kyle Katarn- 34

Vectored Thrusters

Moldy Crow

Predator

Twin Laser Turret

Jan Ors

So Kyle and Jan feed Rey an Evade, Rey uses PTL for evade and focus. Finn adds a blank green if attacker in arc. Countermeasures for a one round extra dice. C-3P0 for another evade potentially. (could you use C-3P0 when you reroll Finns bonus dice?). Otherwise swap C3-P0 for Kanan.

Still puts out a good chunk of damage with Finn, harder for Rey to stay in arc though . Of course the Crow is the easy target, but if they concentrate on that, Rey can rip holes in them while they do

Just a thought rattling around in me head. :D

C3pO works before Finn so you just guess 0, add an evade result, add Finn. Reroll both. Good tank. About your double evade thingy. Just remember you can only spend one evade token for each defense, so if you are only shot by one person you can't spend all your tokens.

It looks fun though. I would probably drop counter measures and ID to get an engine upgrade instead. It will probably help you more both offensively and defensively with your arc

But maybe kanan would be better with this PTL build. Makes you less predictable, and you can always do your evade focus or even just boost focus and get an evade from kyle

If Kyle/Jan are passing tokens each round maybe drop either Vector Thrusters or Moldy Crow and give Rey Glitterstim for when she really needs to tank some hits. Heck maybe make room for countermeasures too.

Evade title, Finn and C-3PO alone sound tanky enough though.
