So I did a little homework on some likely Selfless Rebels. I ended up compiling a list of possible builds who might want it. Given that Biggs starts with built-in “super-Selfless,” and he’s i3, and formation flying is worlds easier with matching initiative, I decided to ONLY include i3’s in this list, as I figured Biggs would make a great starting point, and a lot of others who really caught my eye also happened to be i3, like Lowhhrick and Evaan Verlaine.
There were definitely a few other pilots of interest; both versions of Norra Wexley drew my eye, as did Wedge, Luke, and Thane Kyrell, and Ten or Braylen. But they’re all significantly more expensive than the high forties/low fifties break point I was looking at, or their initiatives don’t match up. Still, in the interest of possibly including an ace-y finisher later, there are a few units here that are a bit cheaper, and might make them work.
I included a lot of Shield Upgrades, and a couple of places to put Jyn Erso, who seems to play into the plan, but these are obviously cuttable.
I’m also sort of operating on the assumption that most (if not all) of the units in the list will want Selfless. This is, perhaps, not the case. But I kind of want to start my exploration of the idea by leaning into it HARD, and backing off it later. Did I miss any notables? Any ideas for starting points on which two, three, or four of these I might want to take and pair with each other or another piece like Wedge or Luke or anyone else? I’m immediately drawn to Biggs and the Blade B-Wings for efficiency, Lowhhrick, Kyle Katarn, and Evaan for their abilities, and the Gold Y-Wings (and also Evaan) for price (if I cut those Ion Turrets to Dorsal Turrets, they’re pretty bargain basement, and even more so if I cut the Shield Upgrades).
