Double Falcons

By Bigstevo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So with the points reduction across the rebel faction I have heard good things with both Han and Lando.

Could a double falcon list work??

Any advice would be greatly received

Looks fun.

The best way to find out how it does is to take it to a table and try it out.

I flew against a Rebel Lando last night and it did very well.

I take it he can give himself 2 actions if he does a blue move?

What about Jyn Erso on Han's Falcon? That way you can throw out double focus or a focus & evade to either ship through the perceptive copilot for all of two points.

Yep. Nien Numb let's him have that many more opportunities for his ability to go off.

Back in early December, I had Lando with Nein and Gonk. I'm not sure if we did it right, but I regenerated one shield with the first action and "primed" Gonk for next time with the second action. Lando wouldn't go down. It was a hoot.

You did it right. Each instance of the "ACTION:" header is separate for rules purposes, even if they come from the same card.

I got it a little different setup. I prefer engine upgrade on Han, so that he is never stressed, so that he can always benefit from Landos ability since Lando moves first. Leia + Rigged Cargo Chute = Falcon 3 sloop and poop. That will catch any ace off guard, stressing it and maybe getting a trickshot as well.

Really like your build.

When you have flown the double pancakes have you felt an initiative bid was needed?

I have a build I was going to try but not sure if a bid is needed or fill the points up

“Who flies it better”

(82) Han Solo
(2) Trick Shot
(4) Rigged Cargo Chute
(4) Chewbacca

Total points: 193

I havent flown double pancakes yet, but been using Lando, Rey, and Resistance Han alot in other builds. Lando with double X I like having a bid because I fly with Thane and him moving after other fives with Landos ability is like having supernatty barrel rolls. With Han as a wingmate, Han can always boost passed other I5s, so Lando just needs to give him focus/lock. Dont think a bid is as important.

Ive flown Rey alot without a bid and she is mostly fine. She gets hurt more by lower initiatives blocking her and controlling her arc. Resistance Han, and Rebel Han are I6 and in Hyperspace format you dont have that much to worry about. I put HSCP on Han for those I6 Poe, Quickdraw, etc lists to strip their focus if you are moving/shooting first.

Organa on there for the sloop poop chute to hopefully stress out an ace plus hopefully trigger trick shot

Hopefully lando can pass a focus and if needed Han can take a lock or boost closer to object to trigger his ability
