What about Gonk?

By Jo Jo, in X-Wing

All the regen astromechs got point reductions but they forgot the crew one.

Why do you hate the GONK FFG?!

True, but how many shields are you actually going to be able to regen with him? If you get more than 3 your opponent really screwed up.

Baffle Tavson.

Not quite true. There's also Elusive Chopper with Afterburners.

Drop Afterburners and take Jek… ;)

Plasma Torpedoes will take care of that.

If they show up.

I mean, you can't even run a fleeing, Gonk-ing Phantom anymore!

That's so sad; Alexa, play Duel of the Fates.

I'm sure, also with the new shield tokens instead of taking 1 extra shield away removing a shield token (even an inactive one) will keep regen in check. Even if it did go back to 1st Edition R2-D2 levels. GIve 1 plasma torpedo upgrade 3 charges and you can strip away a Y-wing's shields permanently. Practically guarantees removal of an X-wing's shield tokens.

Okay but I played Jek for the first time last night, using randomly drawn quick builds, and holy crap that Scum R5 on him was fun 😂 I took the first reroll I used the R5 for as a crit, thankfully I still had shields.

Nah. Corran Horn, FCS, Elusive, Chopper, Afterburners. For 79 points, he can spend Afterburner or Elusive Charges to recharge shields, spend two shields to recharge his Afterburners, and recharges Elusive using any of his 5 red maneuvers. All wrapped in an IN5 all-3s chassis with a bullseye double-tap.
