Ezra Bridger, ultimate arc dodger?

By KaLeu, in X-Wing

Attack shuttle (Ezra Bridger) 41 points

Sense 6 points

Cassian Andor (crew) 6 points

During the system phase i use sense (maybe spend 1 force) and look at a dial of a ship within range (up to 3 but needs to be in range 2)

Then i "guess" bearing and speed with Cassian and set my dial as i see fit.

Pew pew pew.

Should work or do i miss something?

It works but I wouldn't call it a ultimate arc dodger as it only can dodge 1 arc.

Ezra in a dogfight:

reaches out with his feelings
"OK, I'm pretty sure he's going left."
pause
turn to Cassian

"What do I do now??"

Seems more like the ultimate blocker. With afterburners and so many other ships with great repositioning, it may be hard to be a good arc doger at I3.

Even still, this could also backfire vs a SR Vader or anything with advanced sensors. This WILL 100% backfire vs a Slave I Boba*.

*You can still do the trick, but he can be somewhere else when the shooting starts.

That's awfully expensive for a ship that only has a single-modded 3-die shot each turn. I just can't see him being worth more than an X-Wing with proton torpedoes, or Biggs Darklighter, or an Ion Turret Y-Wing which will essentially accomplish the same thing after the first turn.

It's a cool combo, spending a force token on sense will shut off his ability though.

Hera can do almost the same thing with Nien Nunb and her ability for 44pts. With Elusive and Shield Upgrade she probably more sturdy than Ezra for the same points.

The same chassis also has Sabine, who basically has built-in supernatural reflexes and is cheaper

I mean, I thought this was pretty funny, but wasn't expecting it to become like my third ever popular post.

Meanwhile this was pure gold , and gets nothing ...

Everyone hates Rebels.
Not everyone can readily identify a pun of Safety Dance.

Try painting models. You'll spend days on your magnum opus for a resolute "It's okay". Then you'll slap together something goofy and stupid in an afternoon and people will be like "That's the best thing EVAR!"

Yeah, but models are cheating. A model with character will look SOOO MUCH better.

It's why I won't start legion... I'm not playing rebels, but I am also not painting a metric buttload of white stormtroopers. :shudders:

You dont have to paint them all white. Legion is slowly killing xwing for me. Its more fun to me. Each squad can have their own little back story.

Captain... That's not regulation equipment. Report to your local administrator for evaluation.

I disagree with the hate on rebels, both faction and show. I'm more of an imperial flyer though.

I think the combo has merit if you have something else that can leverage the abilities. Ion turret might be good, but mostly like others said, probably best as a blocker.

Stormtroopers should be painted in a rainbow of colors, like Skittles. And Vader should be pink.
