I'm heading to my first tournament in a long time this weekend and I haven't been playing a ton. I'm primarily a scum player but I found a Han build that I enjoyed when I used it. However, not being super familiar with Rebel, I'm not sure what to put with him. I have basically everything up until Nym.

My thoughts for Han

Expertise, Baze Malbus, C-3P0, Engine Upgrade and the Original Title.

I recognize that Baze and Malbus may see a bit redundant but I found it really did help with Han's damage output while allowing him to take evade's and avoid damage.

The Han build is taking a lot of points, not sure I would take expertise. But since you are looking for a wing mate without changing Han, I put this together.

If you cut down on expertise you could fit Poe, which would be more competitive, but this would be fun. You'll get other, probably more competitive options, but this looks fun.

Han Solo — YT-130046

If you’re going to go the Baze route then commit some more and do hot shot copilot. If you’re going to go C-3PO, then commit some more and go Rey.

An oldie but a goodie (redux with harpoons):

Han Solo (46)
Expertise (4)
Gunner (5)
C-3PO (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Millennium Falcon (1)

I’m not a fan of Expertise on Han because of his requirement to reroll all possible dice. I cringe at the thought of an Expertise carrier rerolling focus results, or hits that were already changed from focus.

Han excels with Veteran Instincts. PS11 large base boosting is one of the oldest cries for nerf in the community. It’s just been overshadowed by more recent abusive combinations.

Take Gunner if you can. Baze might cost less, but Gunner is substantially better value.

With your remaining points, I suggest Luke with Lone Wolf, R2-D2 and Vectored Thrusters.

If you're wiling to change Han at all, PS11 would be fun.

First round of combat fire harpoon and proton and then up close and personal to death with ps11's.

Not a Han expert, but following @jmswood 's advice, you could have dual-PS11's and room for a Captain Rex with Fenn:

Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)

Han Solo (46)
Veteran Instincts (1)
C-3PO (3)
Gunner (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Millennium Falcon (1)

Captain Rex (14)

These days, I really like Han with VI, Evade Title, EU, Rey, 3PO. Tough, agile, can still pack an okay punch.

Pairs very nicely with a PS 11 Adv. Optics Poe!

Pretty much Chewy always goes with Han. Leah does later when they get closer, and he tolerates the kid most of the time.

I wouldn’t recommend putting his with Kylo though.

I finally decided to get the first Falcon expansion. I got into the game just before HotR Falcon was released, so I never bothered with it.

But I want to run original Han and the expansion has some amazing upgrades so I got it. To go along with the thematic approach, I'm looking at this:

Han Solo (46)
Veteran Instincts (1)
XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (1)
C-3PO (3)
Gunner (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Millennium Falcon (1)

Luke Skywalker (28)
Lone Wolf (2)
Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Thread Chaser are purely situational. I think it'd be fun for Luke to pop a 4-K turn into range 1 of a ship and have Han help him acquire the Target Lock. Again, it's situational, but there are enough points on the table to bring it along.
