Would anything like this ever be viable?

By Frazio, in X-Wing

Lando Calrissian-44

Biggs Darklighter-31

Stealth Device

R2-F2

Jan Ors-25

the thought process would be the 4 die 360 arc. Lando giving Biggs a focus every turn to have an agility 4 dodge-shield. I do not play much but theorycraft a lot, have a hard time seeing viability. Any constructive feedback would be appreciated.

If Biggs can last 3-4+ rounds, yes this list can do a lot of damage. I've played with this list a few times:

Chewie expose merc

jan Blaster turret

Roark Blaster turret

Both HWK boost Chewie to 12 ps and 5-6 attack. I dominated the first game, he focused on Chewie, do I took him out before he could kill Chewie. Next game, he took jan and Roark out and then took Chewie.

Jan brings a lot to the table. Keep her back and protected by Biggs, she will boost Lando

It depends on the enemy squad but i would say no, it's not terrily good.

And here's why: You rely heavily on Lando for damage and on his sction to boost Biggs. That already forces you to go green on Lando. Okay i see you boost him via Jan Ors but even that will probably not be enough damage output. Because Lando is naked. No Gunner, no marksmanship... Biggs needs to hold on to his Focus for defense and you can't stress him out since you rely on him heavily. So his damage output is mediocre at best. Jan is naked and just there for the buff. He will probably do 0 damage.

I have a strong feeling Landos damage output just won't be enough to win games evem with one more die each turn.
