Guri with Falcon?

By Benjamin Barber, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to get Guri working and am struggling. I know the scum falcon isn't popular but it's fun to fly, and in my head it makes sense having guri knife fight while the falcon circles around the fight. Do these feel balanced? I like Han with lando shuttle because his dice become waaaay more consistent.

Interested to hear if anyone else still likes using the Scum Falcon.

How about:

(54) Han Solo [Customized YT-1300 Light Freighter]
(2) Trick Shot
Points: 56

(63) Guri [StarViper-class Attack Platform]
Points: 63

(26) L3-37 [Escape Craft]
(2) Tactical Officer
Points: 28

(63) Lok Revenant [Scurrg H-6 Bomber]
(2) Dorsal Turret OR (4) Ion Cannon Turret
(10) Veteran Turret Gunner
Points: 51 OR 53

Total Points: 198 OR 200

The reason for this is possibly too many points on both Han and Guri.

By bringing stripped down versions of both, and adding another damage dealer and a support ship, you reduce the focus on each.

this would be pretty interesting to play. kavil gets focus and TL with coordinate for torps and guri flanks.

I've been playing with this idea as well, but I've not tried it.

Thinking is as follows:

- Guri needs, above all else, a big bid and advanced sensors

- Falcons can make excellent arc dodgers. This Han doesn't hit hard but could be very hard to pin down with seasoned navigator and engine upgrade (L3 crew might be worth it here)

- The drone is mostly there to give Han more shields. I think I'd start with it out and dock it. Use it's shields and then release as a bomb later in the game.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah maybe better to keep Han super cheap. Based on how you guys approached it I thought Zealous Recruit might be decent filler in Hyperspace. Annoying ship that opponent can't ignore. Will get outbid by some things but not all.

I still love Scum Han, especially with Lando docked!

Han (TS, L3, Title)

Lando

Guri (AdSen)

Cpt. Seevor (TS)

Guri is a wonderful ace, though she requires a lot of practice. Cpt. Seevor is a wonderful filler - just shove him up to a rock and let him annoy your opponent. Han is a best with a focus and Lando's rerolls - just remember to spend the YT's shields before Lando's and pop L3 fast to get the extra greens!

I think my biggest issue with this is the lack of a bid (well 2pts).

Well you don't really need it for 2/3 ships!
