Rebel Lando + Jan

By Lanthal, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So i'm looking to see if I can get a Lando Falcon build going and was looking at Jan as an option. Now I'm no squad build expert so go easy on me. I was looking at something like this:

Lando w/ Trick Shot, Baze Malbus and Nien Numb (106)

Jan w/ Jyn Erso, Engine and Title (59)

That leaves me with 35 points. Now I could load one of these 2 up with something else (e.g Hotshot gunner on Lando) and throw in a basic Z-95 with Cluster missiles or I could run a basic A-Wing with cluster missiles without the gunner. Both of these would be 200 pts.

An alternative without the gunner would be a Tala Z-95 with expert handling and cluster missiles bringing me in at 197 leaving me with init bid or like seismic charges on Jan.

After some thoughts and feedback.

If you are boosting with Lando, you cant use Baze cause both are red actions. Upgrade baze to perceptive copilot.

With the leftover points I think AP-5 would be a good addition. Jan will always be stressed, and Lando will be stressed when boosting, and AP-5 can coordinate stressed ships. He could stay by Jans side and coordinate locks for her, or a boost, or rotate her arc before she moves.

With the 3 points left over, you can put seismics on Jan to cover her rear, or selfless on AP-5 to keep Jan alive longer. You really dont want Jan dying before AP-5, so AP-5 eating the nasty crits for Jan would be ideal.

Another option, is throw in Arvel. This requires a few changes.

Arvel Crynyd (36)
Intimidation (3)

Lando Calrissian (92)
Trick Shot (1)
Cassian Andor (6)
Nien Nunb (5)

Jan Ors (42)
Engine Upgrade (3)
Moldy Crow (12)

Total: 200

Cassian on Lando so you know exactly where an opponent is going. Now Arvel knows exactly where to be to get the block, and drop agility. Bonus is, Landos ability can boost Arvel at I5 to boost into an enemy ship. So arvel can focus. Lando does blue move at I5 and lets Arvel Lock + Boost. Now he has a lock+focus and Jan pumping him up to 4 dice attack fully modded while the enemies defense is -1 agility.

I like the Arvel Idea but I'm keen to try Jyn out. She seems awesome and would work well with Perceptive CoP. Don't have AP-5 ship wise to try that option out.

I could do the Tala Z-95 idea in my first post with Perceptive Copilot over Baze - that would take me to 199. not sure how much of a target the Tala would be. I'd hope that I could pop off a few clusters before it goes boom.
