Real talk though, I legitimately cant bring myself to run a rebel list without Luke Skywalker in it.
They guy is just relentlessly useful and Luke/Wedge is thematically cool.

This is pretty much how I would summarize Luke T65 gameplay.

I'm 100% behind this sentiment. Plus, I threw up in my mouth a little bit with my last post.

Just saying, the Germans have been playing a VCX list for 5 months already

I guess we just increase our concerned level of German players when the points drop a bit on the VCX leading up to the Wave 5 rerelease of the ship.

So does your list look something like this

Hera Syndulla (VCX-100) (73)
Trick Shot (2)
Leia Organa (2)
Saw Gerrera (8)

Ship total: 85 Half Points: 43 Threshold: 7

Luke Skywalker (62)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 62 Half Points: 31 Threshold: 3

Wedge Antilles (52)
Crack Shot (1)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 53 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 3


Total: 200

Seems pretty fun to me, although I’d actually like to leave leia at home for some other upgrade

This also seems pretty good if your gonna fly like an upsilon then eventually decide to k turn

Chopper" (70)
Magva Yarro (8)
Saw Gerrera (8)

Ship total: 86 Half Points: 43 Threshold: 7

Luke Skywalker (62)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 62 Half Points: 31 Threshold: 3

Wedge Antilles (52)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 52 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 3

And just because this post isn’t big enough yet I think there is value in just bringing the basic 4 dice gun to keep your opponent honest while you bring the most thematic Luke possible

Lothal Rebel (68)
Ship total: 68 Half Points: 34 Threshold: 7

Luke Skywalker (62)
Proton Torpedoes (12)

Quickdraw and shadow caster tractor beam.

How do they work? Is the tractor assigned before or after qd gets to shoot?

In 1.0 it was tractor before attack, now I should check it but I choose to use my time to ask you rather than reading the rules reference

Shadow Caster happens during the Aftermath step so after QD gets their bonus attack from losing the shield.

weird flex but ok, surely anyone who responds would just read the rules ref-

6. Aftermath: Abilities that trigger after an attack are resolved in the following order.
a. Resolve any of the defending player’s abilities that trigger “after you defend,” excluding abilities that grant a bonus attack.
b. Resolve any of the attacking player’s abilities that trigger “after you perform an attack,” excluding abilities that grant a bonus attack.
c. Resolve any of the defending player’s abilities that trigger “after you defend” that grant a bonus attack.
d. Resolve any of the attacking player’s abilities that trigger “after you perform an attack” that grant a bonus attack.

good generic VCX when?

triple ghost when?

I promise it'll seem wholesome by comparison when the jumpmaster ocho fits

The beefy tears of sad players might make this almost worth it.

In the unfathomable case where VCX goes to 66 and Leia doesn’t move from 2, the riots would be so hardcore.

I know this is bad but I am flying it tonight anyway. Jake hands out focus candy, Wedge stays wings closed and torps stuff that Hera ions with her second attack. It's just silliness... but it's my silliness.

Rules Question- If Jake fails his Barrel Roll, he triggers composure. Action taken, then can boost and hand out another focus though to another ship, right?

Hera Syndulla (73)
Trick Shot (2)
Fire-Control System (2)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Nien Nunb (5)
Leia Organa (2)

Wedge Antilles (52)
Proton Torpedoes (12)

Servomotor S-Foils (0)

With Points summoned less than 4 weeks away its a good time to reflect on the journey of list building that 2.0 has been since Open Beta to now...

Hyperspace is fun, i1 works right?

Ok maybe i1 is bad

Ok i4 with 4 hp is bad to

24 HP seems gud

Maybe Ace Mini swarm with i2 can work?

Nope forget that i5+ 26 hp is better i guess I am a Rebel player now

Hmm Redlines probably still good

VCX to 64, Leia to 9

is where the Lothal actually seems useable compared to where Hera will probably be in a month, IMO

You can have triple ghost but... proton torps go to 6 points.

But does QD triggers at step 6? Is its ability an "after you attack/defend"? Doesn't it trigger at step 5 when it suffers damage resulting in losing a shield?

1 issue with that. Quickdraw can trigger their bonus attack during the Activation Phase...

Or in the system phase. Really, it just means "in general", however the RAW purists now get to say jostero has a blank ability, which is neat
