Buy B-wing?

By player4233697, in X-Wing Squad Lists

B-wings looks like a lot of fun!

I have: YT, Y, U and 3X.

Ideas to a nice list to start with?

YT + X + B maybe?

Thanks for all help :)

B-Wings are indeed good fun; they're generally slow, capable knife-fighters in my experience.

Something like this might be fun:

Ten Numb (48)
Elusive (3)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Ion Cannon (5)
Proton Torpedoes (13)

Ship total: 79 Half Points: 40 Threshold: 4

Cassian Andor (51)
Juke (7)
Passive Sensors (3)
Lando Calrissian (2)
C-3PO (8)
Pivot Wing (0)

Ship total: 71 Half Points: 36 Threshold: 4

Garven Dreis (X-Wing) (47)
Crack Shot (1)
R4 Astromech (2)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 50 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 3


Total: 200

Ten Numb eats stress for breakfast to power his attacks, and still gets his actions in thanks to Advanced Sensors.

Cassian can help Garven shed his stress if they fly close enough to each other, while Lando gives him the chance to get evade tokens to activate Juke; alternatively, flipping on Passive Sensors means that he can get two Calculate tokens for the price of one right before an engagement, thanks to C-3P0.

If Garven flies close to Cassian, he can pass along his used Focus tokens and have any Stress shed in return.

...looking at it further, if one is going to focus on Juke for Cassian, yank 3P0 and passive sensors off of there, and slap a Shield Upgrade and Jyn Erso on instead. You'll always have evade tokens that way (possibly up to 3 a turn, if Garven is giving Cassian used Focus), and you'll be ridiculously tanky.

Nice list! Looks like alot of fun! Probably have to get a B-wing now ;)

Thanks!

Amazon's got 'em new for 11 bucks (14 if you don't have Prime).

The $11 are for the old B-Wings. The new ones are $17

I didn't actually realize the new ones were already out, thankee. I had a ton of ships from 1.0, so I usually default to the older models as I've got the three main Conversion kits already.

My cousin got to Top16 at worlds flying Ten Numb, Braylen Stram, Aravel and Cassian. He slots Leia on Cassian and slaps some upgrades on the rest. Lots of beef and decent blocker.

Not going to lie, you'll want two. Braylen and Ten are just so dang good.

Went for 2 Bs. Any tips for upgrades? :)

I love Advanced Sensors on Numb, though that would eliminate your bid.

Intimidation is good on Arvel, and Lando + Juke is awesome on the U-Wing.

Since you have the YT try this:

Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Lando Calrissian - 95
•Lando Calrissian - General of the Alliance (80)
Trick Shot (4)
•Leia Organa (6)
•Nien Nunb (5)

A/SF-01 B-wing - •Braylen Stramm - 54
•Braylen Stramm - Blade Leader (51)
Crack Shot (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Jamming Beam (0)

A/SF-01 B-wing - •Ten Numb - 51
•Ten Numb - Blue Five (48)
Crack Shot (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Jamming Beam (0)

Total: 200/200
