Is eChewbacca, Finn or Chirrut viable?

By dpb1298, in Star Wars: Destiny

The title pretty much describes my question. I'm trying to make mixed damage work and was looking at eChirrut, Finn, but then realized that Chewbacca's die is better.

I think that Chirrut needs more dice in the pool, so that his modified sides aren't stranded. Sadly, there's no great pairing for him... yet. If there was a hero version of FN-2199, it would be an easy choice. I don't think Chirrut's worthless, he just doesn't have any great pairings yet.

Maybe try eChirrut/eRey, and use cargo hold to move abilities from Rey to Chirrut? They still have all blue dice, so it'll help stuff like Destiny and cards that require spotting a blue character.

Oh, I wasn't sure what you were asking... do you mean pairing a single dice Finn with either one? Hmmm... that's a tricky one.

I'd say that with no way to combine Chewie's special with Force Throw, eChirrut and Finn are a better pairing than eChewie and Finn, since Finn also has mixed damage. Too bad eFinn/eChirrut doesn't work. If Finn were FAQ'ed down to two points cheaper... nope. Let's not all start begging FFG for random errata...

Huh. I'll have to think about this. I bet there is a way to make Finn viable, it'll just take time...

Yeah sorry I wasn't clearer. 1 Finn and 2 Chirrut or Chewie. If I do eChirrut, Finn and get the Awakening support out it might be alright. I can also put riot baton and stuff on Finn along with F-11D and Krennic's blaster.

You guys know this, everything goes well with a wookiee.

I am frustrated by Chirrut. I want him to be good, but he's just confused.

Not yet, not Tier 1 at least. Chewie is working in a lot of casual decks.

Give him a try with eMothma

I played a eChirrut/Han Solo deck that was pretty decent, but this was before the release day of SoR so that probably skewed it. I've been thinking of a Finn/Chirrut (one would be elite, not sure who yet) with some Riot Control Batons. Gotta keep testing!
