Falcon Title (Rebels)

By FriendofYoda, in X-Wing

With Han’s ability, not to mention R2-D2, seems like the title would make him incredibly tanky - but I don’t often see it run. Has anyone had good success with it or is a bid just straight up better?

Handbrake Han (144pts) uses it.

It's hard to fit it in if you want 2 more ships in your list, but if you're only using a lone wingman, it's an auto-include.

Outside of Handbrake Han, I don't see it being very usable. The issue with the title is the requirement to be evading. This ties you into either:

1. Taking an evade action, which potentially leaves your offensive weaker, or leaving you without a shot/in arc of hostiles who you might have otherwise boosted away from.

2. Have the Lando crew card, and perform his action. This adds cost, and is a gamble.

3. Having the Perceptive Co-pilot and Jyn Erso crew cards. This is even more expensive, fills both crew slots (or requires you to have another crew carrier to carry Jyn), but is more reliable.

All that said, it works well on Handbrake Han, due to the combination of EVERYTHING.

Something like this if going for +2 ships? Seems like no bid is risky

I feel like the title could be pretty good on Lando-Pilot, too. At least in an abstract sense. My man can easily get two actions, and sometimes Evade will be one of the better ones to use.

However, that's list-independent thinking. Lando is still good with very few upgrades, just Nien Nunb, Trick Shot, maybe nothing more, and it might be better to put the 6 points for MF into another ship in the list.

Side question.... what is/where can I find out Handbrake Han?

NVM. I found a post in Squad Builder section.

I managed to win dice (despite my own lack of skill) flying Lando with Nien, Leia, Trick Shot plus Wedge, and Dutch Vander with Ion Cannon Turret and Torpedoes.

Lando was awesome. The way I roll dice, I need double mods just to get decent results so Han was terrible in my hands. Roll badly, reroll into average. Do no damage.

I usually use it on Lando, but I also use Lone Wolf, Nien, Baze, and VTG. It’s really weird but it works surprisingly well.

While Lando is excellent with just Nien, if you also give him Magva and the Title, he gets even better. At the start he is focus/locking, but once he starts getting shot and receiving locks that way, he can switch to focus/evading for beef without compromising offense
