Lando + Gina + Jake/Arvel

By LUZ_TAK, in X-Wing Squad Lists

How about this:

Lando+Gina+Ten

(79) Lando Calrissian [Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter]
(5) Nien Nunb
(12) Kanan Jarrus
Points: 96

(50) Gina Moonsong [A/SF-01 B-wing]
(0) Jamming Beam
(10) Advanced Sensors
(3) Elusive
Points: 63

(36) Jake Farrell [RZ-1 A-wing]
(2) Daredevil
(3) Elusive
Points: 41

Total points: 200

Gina can go wild with red moves and linked red actions all day, with double mods txs to Lando or Jake and defensive reroll thru Elusive, passing the stress to Lando, which will naturally clear it with Nien enabled blue moves. Meanwhile Kannan uses his force to help out Jake, that is also pulling red moves and linked actions, getting mods by himself and defensive use of Elusive. Meanwhile Lando shoots into the fray.

I know, very situational, but still there seems to be a lot of synergies going for this list. That's 2 awesome small ship knife fighters + a large base bowtie turret. Lot's of red dice, lot's of health.

Could switch Jake for Intimidation Arvel to have him boost / barrel roll at Lando’s Init 5 coord too.

Also considered switching Kanan for Bistan or another gunner for extra punch but I’m not convinced.

I've been experimenting with Arvel and pairing him with Lando seems like a neat idea. I like the thought of saving his repositioning until I5. It also means he could take focus / evade at times if he needs to tank shots.

I'm thinking I'd probably still take Luke. Maybe start out with something like:

Lando Calrissian + Nien Nunb / Arvel Crynyd + Intimidation + Crack Shot / Luke Skywalker + Servomotor S-Foils /

I could just run with a big bid but I'm more likely to spend the points. I think I'd get sense for Luke to help tech against deep bid I5 lists and I6. And then maybe R2 for regen.
