Yeah, seems like 2 ship boba Fenn could have serious problems with 5x bulk

Honestly, those are just closer to real games you have to play. They're not "bad", you're just not automatically, hilariously favored like 2-die ship spam.

Also, I just mean you need to hate that generics exist, so you brought Boba to punish their existence (which he does quite well).

Proton Torps. Only adds up to 188 to.

Brain fart.

Actually, aces seem to be doing better in Hyperspace than in Extended, which not only goes against the point I was making, it goes against the whole spirit of many of the threads on here.

Apparently generic spam is better in Extended than in Hyperspace. Vader, Duchess, etc. are very very high in Hyperspace, and not doing nearly so well in Extended where they have Afterburners.

Now where's my tea?

Thanks, and any time I get the chance, tea or a pint of your choice is absolutely on me sir.

Cheers!

Holo is really cool in any list, except in a 2 ship list (Super Kylo much enjoys the company of Vonreg). The most competitive of FO triple ace lists will tend to include him. But I found a massive, massive flaw with him, one that tanks the whole list.

If you equip Holo, you can't fly this magnificent trio:

But you can modify a blank result...A blank result! Or, if you're me, every other roll is focus + blank or the classic range 1 of focus + blank + blank

Damnit now I'm trying to convince myself not to fly this in FWSOS:

I mentioned it in the 5A thread, but: 5Xwings are terrifying! You know what they do?

They have an expected 2.25 hits on every shot! EVERY SHOT! For FIVE SHOTS PER TURN! And an AMAZING 84% chance to get 2hits or more! That is mathematically like GhostFennTLT and clearly as bad.

I was thinking exactly this when people are like "but 2 hits!"

Isn't the expected damage of hard rolling 3 dice vs 2 dice with a focus and AO only off by like .2-.3?

Time on target isn't as good as 5A, but much greater potential to crush something when they do line up a good shot in numbers.

These are both pretty solid lists, though one (5A) rides a knife edge between success and failure. 5X will probably be easier to rack up wins with in the first couple of rounds.

They're not being serious. They're taking shots at that ridiculous optics/tlt comparison thread.

SAME TEAM...... 😥

I'll probably still have fun trying out FO Proud lists of 5+ ships (non Kylo) and probably take it to at least one Store Champ because it's FO prizes, but I'm very hesitant taking them to larger events until I find something popular that it has an almost equally good matchup against that Boba has to the Proud boys. I don't like the idea of mostly punting to a likely meta staple while not having something else to balance it out. I recall some discussion that maybe the Proud FOs have a solid matchup against Separatist Swarm which I can maybe see, but I'd have to try a few games myself. Although I expect WAY more Bobas than Separatist Swarms.

Not in my [NOVA] region, apparently.

People believe droid swarms are OP unbeatable. It's neat.

That makes more sense. I'm seeing a LOT of 5X panic, both local and online, but this thread seemed to be the only one that agreed with my own take. That thread is indeed ridiculous.

Forgive me thread - I blame lack of caffeine, sleep and general awareness of reality. It's not my fault, I swear.

Eh, like 6 hp is annoying to get rid of and 3 red is always relevant. 39-40pt X's are fantastic filler ships, but not exceptional for spam.

Wishful thinking that it was only ignorance that causes bad takes. Sometimes all it takes instinctive knee jerks and stubbornness to disagree with logical input.
