Biggs the EPT!

Probably gonna make our moustached pilot once per round then.

But Biggs with his biggs Ept is only 27 points.... hnm

Biggs still gets to use his droid to cancel all but 2 hits so will never have to eat more than 2.

IF they take that card. Which yes, is then reducing it to 2 damage. But again, the point of Biggs is he stops your other ships taking damage until he goes.

The Wookiee Commandos are also really nice on Epic ships.

Too bad none of the Rebel Epic ships have 2 crew slots.

Biggs is there to protect your high priority target so you can choose who your endgame ship will be. Splitting damage around multiple targets is bad tactics. Now you get to force your opponent to do just that.

Wait, I don't see how this makes Biggs better. Surely the reason you take Biggs is that HE takes the hits instead of your other ships? I know this can save him for an extra turn, but it might mean one of your ships Biggs is trying to protect could be taking 3/4/5 hits lol Which for me sort of defeats the point of him.

It's ok if 1 hit will kill him and someone else can take it. But I think it sort of still flies in the face of why you take him lol If I was the opponent, I'd be throwing all the modified reds at Biggs to either A) Kill him and make you waste an EPT slot or B) Put a bunch of damage on another ship so I get some on a turn early.

Rest of the stuff is ok. Unless you take this ship in your list Breach Specialist is useless for now.

The best way to use Biggs is to force them to split some damage onto Biggs so that both Biggs and the other ship last a round or two longer than your opponent expects. This lets you do it without any fancy formation that they can counter to stop you.

Split across 2 cards, so it doesn't work.

I'm getting a bakers dozen.

I meant Tantive IV title, it give the cr90 an additional crew slot in the front

Title.

Edit: Ninja'd BTW, I'm not sure that you cannot equip without the title. It is one ship after all? Hmm..

Which will beg the FAQ question: if the Tantive IV is equipped with Commandos and its fore is crippled, will it have to discard them?

Splitting fire once per round helps Biggs. I don't see why people suggest this.

I think we're forgetting that a lot of Biggs lists in the Meta at the moment seem to be ships without EPT slots, or if there is one, it's on a 3 Hull Tie lol

So yes, this may (pre any changes to him) make Biggs lists even worse. But it'll also mean those lists are different to the ones we currently have. Miranda, Jess, Ghosts, lower PS Arcs all don't have the ability to take this. So Biggs lists get totally rethought. So we shall see what happens.

I'm not calling a falling sky yet lol

ooooooh

Yes yes, then it would work. I never use the that title, I prefer Jania's Light, hence why I didn't think of it.

When the section is flipped, you only have a crew, team, and cargo left (aside from title and mod) due to the title. You won't have 2 crew slots anymore for the Commandos, so I think they'd be gone.

Conversely, when you discard a card granting you a slot, you don't discard the thing in that slot. It would need FAQ (lol at the idea of anything Epic getting FAQed).

Well, they already did the C-ROC. XD

I'm not sure it's worth it to stack Lowie and Biggs in the same list... that leaves you 46 points to not only fit in your main attacker, but also put points into the wookie. So 40ish points for a your main offensive power... Corran doesn't fit. Maybe a skinny build Lowie, Biggs, and a pair of FCS B-Wings?

ALSO, both Biggs' regular droid and the Selflessness card only let you mitigate/move HIT results. If someone rolls/modifies a bunch of crit results this card does nothing.

Jess is getting a lot of play these days, so I'd assume that's the first option to pair with them. *But I have the same hesitation about the combo.

Can I just say that it warms my heart that about a third of the posts on this topic so far refer to Epic play?

In epic, I may just fly a bunch of these with Dutch vander

"stabalize your rear deflectors, watch out for enemy fighters" *everyone ran over by a raider*

I like everything about it except that it looks like the food truck from 5th element. Which might otherwise be awesome, but wookiees don't wear hair nets. Ill pass on the hairy taco express delivery service.

Biggs is going to get even more annoying....

Also wth is up with that dial? Yeah it has no kturn but with a dang near FULL ACCESS DIAL and 180 arc it doesnt really need a kturn (unlike the uwing). Hell the only thing its missing is 1turns.

I think having Wullff with Selflessness, Breach Specialist, and Inspiring Recruit following around a Rage user will be mean. Attack him to get rid of the recruit/selflessness issue and he just contains all crits while your Rage user goes nuts, and of course he gets deadlier if hurt but not dead.

And that's where Draw Their Fire comes in, which lets you move those around.

But that brings its own risks. A stressed Biggs and any Wookiee Gunship will be unable to turn around quickly, so it shouldn't be hard to get behind them.

And nobody has even talked about how Breach Specialists will also be great for Epic. Being able to discard your Reinforce to prevent epic crits should be really great for them.
