Cantina Brawl

By Jiron, in X-Wing

Hi,

there is a funny event called Cantina Brawl in our city. You can take one large ship only, point limit 50 points free for all match.

What would you take?

RAC

Kylo ren..expert handling, engine upgrade,advanced sensors and...whatever else you want.

A shuttle that can ACTUALLY fly.

It's so good.

HLC outrider Leebo.

Pattern Analyzer is a necessity.

Also, if you wanna be crazy, try Daredevil over EH. You can turn around in one turn (even over debris, if you want).

I’d probably do RAC (EU, Adap) or Kenkirk. The Deci gets burned down by multiple attacks; one a round wont do much.

I knew I missed an important card...sigh...

Yes pattern analyzer.

That might be the reason why would multiple people attack it.

Major difference might be that here you go with all players on one table free for all, last man standing. Not the same thing by far...

A free for all, large ship only tournament seems made for Autothrusters. Almost all the ships you see are going to be PWTs, and the likelihood of multiple opponents chasing you down in arc seems slim. As such, for the first half or so of the fight, you're going to be the hardest nut to crack on the board by far - 3 dice, plus autothrusters, probably a focus? Why shoot at that when you could be shooting RAC over there?

I'd lean into that and take either:

IG-88 C with Autothrusters, VI, Advanced Sensors, Burnout SLAM and Heavy Laser Cannon (50 points)

or

IG-88 C with Autothrusters, VI, Advanced Sensors, Glitterstim and Autoblaster Cannon (49 points)

depending on what you expect the meta to be.

In both cases, Autothrusters, VI and Advanced Sebsors are more or less autoincludes. You're PS8 to outbid the ships it matters to outbid: Kylo, Hera and most important of all, Dash. You're not going to stop the big PS9 guys from damaging you by arc dodging anyway (Han and Dengar), so 8 is probably fine. Advanced sensors matter enormously when the field is covered in lower PS big base ships to block you, and Autothrusters are the whole point of the list.

Glitterstim and Burnout SLAM are both their best choices at their respective price points, but the choice is really about the cannon. HLC is generally the better choice, but in this case you want it if you expect to set a lot of low ability ships (Decis, ghosts etc.) or a lot of Dengars. In both cases you want to do maximum damage per shot, minimise the number of times they get to shoot back, either via revenge shots or normal shots. The Autoblaster is if you expect there to be a lot of Dash or other IGs. With VI, you will be able to select range in both of those fights, and you'll want to be range 1. For Dash, obviously, you want that doughnut hole, while for another IG, you can hopefully win the damage race by letting your evade token counter their range bonus, and then your Autoblaster to do more damage than they do with IG B or predator in the EPT slot or whatever.

As it is afree for all, I would take an IG88... High AG and evades make you an undesirable target (with PTL focus, or glitterstim for the big round). You shouldn't have a problem getting ships in arc as it's a brawl....

Also, by having a lower PS, you may get lucky and have ships to finish off...

Quick question about this build: If Kylo use adv sensor to do his action first and do Daredevil, he receive a stress token before he reveals his maneuver; if it s a 1-Turn, his doesn’t have to do a 2 straight because he revealed a red maneuver while stressed ?

This could be fun :D
