U-Wing and Wookies

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm not sold on this Saw build just yet, but I think I have some the right pieces in place. But let's just talk about how nice of a pairing Saw is with Wullffwarro.

Saw Gerrera (26)
Wired (1)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Hera Syndulla (1)
Rey (2)
Stealth Device (3)
Pivot Wing (0)

Lowhhrick (28)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Magva Yarro (2)
C-3PO (3)

Wullffwarro (30)
Trick Shot (0)
Wookiee Commandos (1)

Total: 99

Personally, I think I'd rather have Ezra than Rey on this kind of a Saw, and I think Stealth Device is kinda dubious (kinda only on Soontir or a Defender). If Wullffwarro had Predator, Chopper, Courier Droid, that might also be more substantial dice mods. He could focus up on the approach, tempting folks to attack not-Lowhhrick. Chopper can also work well with his pilot ability.

I don't know it'd work better, but at least that's how I'd go about it.

And now I'm also having second thoughts about Sensor Jammer. The list doesn't bring a way to activate it (Fenn Rau, Hotshot Copilot, Stress), and because those are so common, a lot of folks tech their lists against it. In another metagame, where folks aren't building to counter it, I think it'd probably be fine, but currently, unless you're going all-in on it (like in Fenn/Ghost), I don't think it's a great idea.

I thought about Ezra at first, but through it's a little redundant with Wired. So Rey would help me stack focuses for defense. I can keep the title flipped with the extra evade, run three green dice with a focus and Sensor Jammer. It's a little gimmicky, but could keep Saw around, especially if Loh is taking the heat off him.

I'm not following what you mean by activating Sensor Jammer. It doesn't need to be activated.

I meant that you don't have a way to get rid of enemy focus tokens or deny Expertise. Yes, it always is on, but it doesn't *do* anything against a ship intending to spend a focus token attacking you anyhow.

Ahhh. Gotcha. I see what you mean. Well, I'll probably go back to the drawing board with Saw, but I like the foundation of what I have here.

Agreed that Sensor Jammer and Stealth Device are not the best choices. That would free up enough points for MaulZra on Wulfy (Take stress from Maul to reroll one, reroll another now that you are stressed from Saw, Ezra to a crit, hit, remove stress). Additionally, keep in mind that Saw wants to be stressed - if you castle to bank stress, when you finally have to move, Kyle Katarn could turn them into focuses! You could then send Rey over to Low to boost his offense.
