Han/Corran - any tips?

By SOTL, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Only had a couple of games with this, and I picked it up mainly because I expected spending 90+ pts on Corran would be 'hard mode'... and yet it's actually been ok. I've found Han cheap and cheerful but pretty tanky with Lando's evades and R2's regen, and Corran is all about the Advanced Sensors (synergy between R2 mech and his ability is nice too). Corran's done a bunch of work while opponents try to chase and haul down Han.

Anyone else tried something like this? I'm late to the Falcon/Corran party and though I'm pretty sure this isn't top tier it's something I'd like to give a proper try to.

I think its one of those high risk, high reward lists. If you can make it work it'll be dope. But if something goes awry, it will really go awry

I tried lando and corran, so corran essentially got two adv sensors. Was easy to line up predator and destroyed whisper double ps1 defenders pretty easily. Lando basically just circled while corran knife fought like a beast. Corran died then lando easily solo'd the last defender.

Have not tried Han yet.

First off, a little Lando/Han math. Lando normally has a 39% chance of rolling two tokens (5/8*5/8). With Han, this becomes a (1-0.39)*(0.39)+(0.39)=0.627, so 63% chance of two tokens. Not bad.

I think this list looks right as far as a Han/Corran list goes, and there doesn't really look like wiggle room.

If I'm thinking about a Lando list, I wonder if something like this could work:

  • Lando (Trick Shot, Nien Nunb, Hotshot Gunner) 105
    • HSG seems neat on a Lando in a list like this, helping Corran to hit harder.
  • Corran Horn... Two versions come to mind
    • Juke, Advanced Sensors, R2-D2 (94)
    • Marksmanship, Proton Torpedo, Fire Control System, R2-D2 (95)
    • Both are probably wrong.

I've wanted Juke-Corran to work FOREVER. Two attacks mean double-duty out of Juke, and the target almost surely won't have any tokens (HSG!) to fix their eye results on either attack.

I also keep being enticed by Marksmanship on Corran, since his second attack will be against a likely tokenless and hopefully shield-less target, where those crits can do work.

Obviously, getting a Torpedo into a Corran list seems like it'd be strong, but at the cost of a regen droid? At the cost of Advanced Sensors? That doesn't necessarily seem like a great trade.
