Chewicide

By FriendofYoda, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Seems like Chewie could be a good Resistance alternative to QD with it looking like he affects himself. Throw a couple of aces in and away we go

Poe: Heroic, R4, Foils, Title, HLC (77)

Lulo: Heroic, Juke (43)

Chewbacca: Trick Shot, Deadman's Switch (75)

(195)

Once the walking carpet is low on health just throw him right in the middle and dare your opponent to take him down!

Love the title

I feel like I'd trade Juke for Crack Shot, HLC for Proton Torpedoes, but that's just personal preference.

Chewie seems totally fine, though. He's probably not quite Quickdraw (that Init 6 matters...), but he's also probably not quite like Corran Horn, either.

That's fair, I think adding a bit of bulk/kiting around will be a nice addition to the two aces. At I4 and with large base + boost he's also a decent blocker of rival aces.

If Chewie triggers 1-2 times per game that might be enough value, especially with the addition of getting an action before you shoot.

Going to torps definitely adds a lot of early game punch, certainly much more reliably than the hlc. Going to 197 might be an issue as I definitely want a bid though, do I drop the DM Switch to get back down to 195? (Assuming Juke has also been dropped for Crackshot).

I dunno. I think a lot of this stuff needs to get felt-out.

DMS seems good on Chewie with that large base.

As to Poe, I don't know how important Black One will be in the long run, and while Torpedoes seem natural to me, HLC might really be solid. If there are enough Rey and Boba out there, it could be strong. I also keep thinking I want Ion Cannon, so that I don't have to worry about bullseye, just dodging arcs.

And bids are something pretty much impossible to advise on, since they're wicked local.

Feels like the right thing to do is to start spaghetti method: throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

I'll report back once I get some testing in!

Appreciate your feedback!

Have anyone tought about chiwie+title+VTG with 3 cheap A wings +concussion missies?

U can shot 3 times with chiwie if one A wing goes down

I think if this works at all it's with 4 A-Wings. You can fit naked Chewie in with 4 naked A-Wings. Worth a try.
