Hera & Lando. What could go wrong?

By Sonikgav, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Coming back to try and give this whole thing another go and i figured since i was one of the first to try it (and fail spectacularly) i'd revisit the Intimidation Hera build and realise that none of it works.

Lando Calrissian (79)
Selfless (3)
Nien Nunb (5)
Baze Malbus (3)

Ship total: 90 Half Points: 45 Threshold: 7

Hera Syndulla (VCX-100) (72)
Intimidation (3)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Saw Gerrera (9)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Veteran Turret Gunner (10)

Ship total: 110 Half Points: 55 Threshold: 7


Total: 200

So Lando moves, Hera Target Locks, Hera then reinforces or rotates her Turret for ideal shot with the VTG and moves in for a bump.
Next turn Hera moves first using Blue, hopefully re-bumps (possibly the one she Ion'd), Lando moves and gives her an action and provides cover with his Shields from crits.

Baze is a bit of a red herring here for me but i couldn't find anything else to do with the 3 points.

You could just have a 3 point bid instead of Baze. It's not great for I5's but it still a decent number.

Zeb only lets you do primary attacks at range 0 (IIRC), so no double tap when you bump.

Baze points are probably better spent on a hull for lando or a shield for Hera if you want to spend it.

You can still Ion something else that hasnt bumped. Basically if you hit the front of a swarm you can blast the one in contact then Ion the one behind and you know you've got a Bump on for next turn too.
