Elusive Jek + Chopper + Spare parts

By Hiemfire, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Basically the Rebel simile of Jabba on a large ship (YV or YT for now) with Rigged Cargo. It takes some setup (Burning multiple elusive charges and shields with allot of red maneuvers) to keep the Spare Parts Canister charged and I'm not making any claims of viability competitive side but dang if this doesn't look like a fun way to mess with things (small debris everywhere!!!). So I'm dropping it here for those interested. :)

Jek Porkins — T-65 X-Wing 46
Elusive 3
“Chopper” (Astromech) 2
Spare Parts Canisters 4
Servomotor S-Foils 0
Ship Total: 55
Half Points: 28 Threshold: 3

I'm totally putting this in my next rebels extended list.

Yo, what would a list with this even look like? Some trick shot spam?

Trick shotters would get some benefit. Jek dumping Locks that are on him multiple times could have some use. Dumping a Spare Parts token on or in front of a ship that is tailing too close also has its uses. :)

Can you include torpedoes for additional charges or does equipment limit it to non-weapon mod charges?

There is nothing in Chopper's ability that would prevent the charges from a torpedo from being used.

In your opinion, worth adding one of the 6pt torps for 2 additional charges?

Maybe? Give it a run, it could be fun. I'm basically sharing an interesting interaction I found that could be fun if fielded. :) Could also do it with Ibitsam in the Rebel ARC-170.

Honestly, jek with just chopper+elusive makes a pretty tanky x wing

This is the exact sort of painfully dumb jank I need... If only it was Hyperspace legal 💔

any x-wing with stealth device, elusive, and chopper. regen stealth!!!

Only the Partisans (Saw's group) have the slot for cloaking devices. I don't think any of them have a way to discard stress outside of blue maneuvers.

Cloaking Device (illicit) is different from stealth device (mod) no?

... Why did I read that as Cloak. You're correct. Yes it would work for Stealth Device.

I mean.... realistically all the Rebels used some shady stuff. Give me Stygium Particle Array on Wedge!

I plan to fly thane with the regen stealth combo. In my x-wing group I am considered the person who flies non-competitive jank 24-7 😀

I haven’t tried Jek + Chopper yet, but I’ve played lots of Corran+chopper before, and it was a blast. Competitive? Don’t think so, but really fun. There was a game where I was able to regen like 4-5 shields, another one where I recharged one proton torp... recharging Spare parts can be a really nice trick as well... advanced sensors on Corran also allows for a shield regen before making a red maneuver which will recharge elusive again
