2E: Boba, Cobra, Graz

By wurms, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Boba Fett + Elusive + 0-0-0 = 86pts

Talonbane + Fearless + Afterburners = 61pts

Graz + Outmaneuver = 53pts

Flank w/ Graz and Close in with Boba and Talonbane. 0-0-0 on Boba allows him to boost into range 1, get rerolls with ability, and get a passive calculate or else stress the opponent.

I like it!

If you downgraded Boba to Kooshka (fits with o-o-o )you could fit Han gunner. But then I'd rather run Viktor Hel as one of them. A variant list on the same theme.

Thanks for this - I turned up to play last night and a friend wanted to play 2.0. I've done next to no research so I gave your list a whirl and it was great. I never used Elusive as Boba always had enough rerolls from ships at range 1. I struggled to get Graz in behind my opponent (Unkar, Fenn and Guri - I killed Unkar first round of combat), so didn't make the most of him but all in all it was fun. :)

I'd definitely cut Elusive, Outmanuever, and Fearlessness

Then get Marauder Han on Boba, and L3 -37 instead of 0-0-0. It's just too good to pass up

Then Predators on the Khirax if there's room

I thought 2e wasn't released yet - did you make your own firespray dial and medium base/tile..??

We used the medium plastic base from the reaper expansion (and one of the cardboard templates, just ignored the stats etc.). I used a T70 X-wing dial and my opponent knew that a 3-turn = 1-turn which is pretty much the equivalent of the new firespray dial. The Kihraxz has an essentially unchanged dial and he had to trust me when I said my 2-turn was actually a talon roll :)

Barrel rolls we judged the middle line as best we could. We used a 1e damage deck and crit tokens for 'calculate' tokens.

So it was all improvised but I think we were at least pretty close to a 2e experience!

I will definitely be trying Marauder + Han next time out!

Fair enough, nice work! :)

Marauder + Han (+ Perceptive Co-Pilot) is the Boba build I'm going to try.
