Raging Cassian

By Shadow345, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Cassian Andor - Rage, Advanced Sensors, Inspiring Recruit, Zeb Orrelios, Pivot Wing - 33

Jess Pava - R3-A2, Sensor Cluster, Integrated Astromech - 29

Biggs Darklighter - R4-D6, Integrated Astromech - 26

Bandit Squadron Pilot - 12

So get in close, keep formation. Bump with Cassion with an activated Rage through Advanced Sensors then shoot with Zeb. Inspiring Recruit gets those double stress off. Keep Jess close for re-rolling attacks and defense. Biggs and Z are for support and providing numbers for Jess.

Very nice, good utilisation of the U-Wing however though Cassian is needed for the Rage and that's the whole point f the list try Heff Tober he enjoys bumping and works wonders with Zeb also saves advanced sensors as you can get bumped for a free action, this allows you to swap Inspiring Recruit with Jyn for support (works with free actions and helps alpha strike) or Rey or Boshek (now that's a crazy bump). Also allows you to swap the Bandit for something with more durability such as an A wing with autothrussters, something like this may work if you can give up Cassian. Sensor cluster also isn't needed for Jess however it's in no way a poor choice.

Heff Tobber — U-Wing 24
"Zeb" Orrelios 1
Jyn Erso 2
Pivot Wing 0

Biggs Darklighter — X-Wing 25

Integrated Astromech 0

Jess Pava — T-70 X-Wing 25

Prototype Pilot — A-Wing 17
Autothrusters 2

I question the astromech choices but they are cheap so i assume their just their to give the Integrated Astromech ability.

The A wing can survive more than a bandit pilot but it can be downgraded to re apply sensor cluster and some other choice upgrades or tougher astromechs. Best of luck ;)

With the above build, add chaardan refit on A wing, then upgrade Jess' Astromech to M9-G8. Then add tactical jammer on Heff. That's a pretty d@mn good list.

My Raging Cassian has Finn for the second crew. 4-5 dice with rerolls and focus? Paired with a good blocker he doesn't need Zeb to lay on the heat.

Like it.

Keep the Z in front of cassian to slow his movement down. Then toss 4 dice with Finn crew.

I like this Finn idea. It changes the idea from bumping with Cassian though, but the Z can still do it or use the Enhanced Scopes 0 activation to go first.

Cassian Andor - Rage, Inspiring Recruit, Finn, Pivot Wing, Enhanced Scopes - 35

Jess Pava - R3-A2, Integrated Astromech - 27

Biggs Darklighter - R4-D6, Integrated Astromech - 26

Bandit Squadron Pilot - 12

I personally like Advanced Sensors + Inspiring Recruit + Kyle Katarn + Experimental Interface + Expert Handling. Then Target Lock, Barrel Roll (lose a TL on you in the process) take 2 stress, clear them both, get 2 focuses. Its a fun ship. Expensive, but it's fairly dangerous. You can shift the Inspiring Recruit onto another friendly ship and put Jyn on there to help out your squad.
