Angry Corran, Soothing Cassian. And something something Biggs.

By crossvoicing, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What think ye of this?

Tempted to drop intimidation and Intel agent to give corran r2d2.

My big thought would be if you're going to run Corran cheap, run him cheap. So either rage/R2-D2 or just straight up rage here for a mean 36-point double-tap.

As it is you sort of have him in this weird point range where a traditional Corran 42 probably gives you more value than your 40 points here, but barebones Rage Corran with Cassian/IR support might fill a nice 36 point slot.

Cold use the points savings to maybe throw R2/D2 on Biggs and double down on the Tac Jammer fun and upgrade Enhanced Scopes to FCS, since right now you have no real way to take advantage of the scopes.

I like what you have here on Corran. Use advance sensor to rage before move, make a green move close to Casian and clear both stress, use rage bonus on primary and double tap and have wide open dial to bail out while you can't shoot and then dive back in with the same plan in mind

The thing is, using Cassian's ability, he gets that same result of being able to remove two stress if Cassian ends up close.

My thoughts would be that you should throw Advanced Sensors out. Maybe add in Collision Detector to ignore crits over obstacles. But I like cheap Corran at 36 points. Maybe throw R5-X3 on him to give a little added shenanigans opportunity.

I also agree that Intel Agent should be dropped. Without any form of repositioning, it isn't going to help anything. Instead, I recommend Zeb. Since you are flying him in front of Biggs, anyone who bumps still has to fire at Biggs through the Tac Jammer U-wing, while both the U-wing and Biggs get to fire back at a reduced agility ship. I like the enhanced scopes for that reason as well, meaning he gets to move before Biggs and allows him to move a bit slower. With changing Corran to a 36 or 37 point ship, you could easily fit R2-D2 on Biggs.

Overall, I really like the list, and would love to see how it plays out. Good luck.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the thoughts. So drop Intel agent, in retrospect obvious, advanced sensors only really helps in case of a bump. If Cassian bites it before corran someone has given me a gift anyway.

So now I'm thinking this:

E-Wing: · Corran Horn (35)
Rage (1)
Fire Control System (2)
· R2-D2 (4)
U-Wing: · Cassian Andor (27)
Intimidation (2)
Tactical Jammer (1)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
Pivot wing (0)
X-Wing: · Biggs Darklighter (25)
R7 Astromech (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)
