Freightful Four. It's for real.

By Cloaker, in X-Wing

If I understand correctly, your point is that 48hp behind 1green is a tough nut to crack and can cover a lot of attack angles.

I put this together on the fly using your concept. It has nine fewer hit points but can hit harder and has more flexibility... and I don't have to buy a THIRD (fourth, fifth, and sixth) falcon.

I only started list brainstorming earlier this week after catching up on the last two krayt casts. Started looking at YASB2.0 and thought 2 wardens with Brockets are possibly better than 2 x-wings kitted out to 46pts. SLAM might make up for the lack of speed/repositioning for defense and the multiple arcs for the lack of repositioning for attack (barrage front, turret left/right). I wont know until I put it on the table a fair amount.

If a lothal with reinforce should take a while to burn down (say vs a tie swarm or the above 'Freighter four') and hit hard enough, the K's should be able to flank and use actions for offense. Unless I am mistaken you only need the phantom title to re-dock the attack shuttle so it might make sense to start docked and use that PS3 Sabine reposition in the late game IF you can knock out the big threats.

Warden Squadron Pilot — K-Wing 40
Barrage Rockets 6
Ship Total: 46
Warden Squadron Pilot — K-Wing 40
Barrage Rockets 6
Ship Total: 46
Lothal Rebel — VCX-100 70
Ghost 0
Ship Total: 70
Sabine Wren — Attack Shuttle 38

Ship Total: 38

At the end of the day I am ready to start putting ideas on the tables and see what works/doesn't. I am sure a lot of lists will look tough until I figure out how to play/list-build around it.

We just need one more falcon model and they can all have unique models

Get 2 Lando Falcons and fly one with the pod and one without!

Doesn't Frightening Four sound better as archetype's name?

I wouldn't buy 4 of them, i fully expect a slight price increase in next update

I think it’s also the 4 large bases for blocking. It’s essentially the same as 4 jumps in 1.0. It has less tricks and no trickshot but 2.0 is balanced down as well.

I was thinking "Freightful Four", because I am a comic book nerd in addition to being a Star Wars nerd.

Freightful four is perfect

Let's not get too cute or else it'll be completely indecipherable

Agreed!

Disappointed the post title doesn't say "it's four real"

Just run 5x K-Wings. 20% more firepower, only 3 HP total lost.
