Any Ideas for a Biggs Darklighter Build?

Recommended Posts

I keep going over the X-wings and disregard Biggs in all of my builds I come up with but, feeling bad for one of the best characters in the SW verse, I want to use him in a build and have no idea where to start.

I have a few lists where biggs is used to spread fire around. Sometimes he's not the best to just throw out there to take initial shots, but rather to come up from the rear after a first round of firing and prevent other ships from being taken off the board. He definitely takes some practice to use effectively. I like pairing him with a Chewie or Leebo and draw their fire. You can send those guys into firing range first and get some shots off, and they have enough hp to survive a round or 2 even. Then bring biggs into the equation so they can't finish them off. Also draw their fire will keep biggs alive a little longer to spread that damage around your list, while you do some focusing down of the opponents ships. You may or may not want to spend points to keep biggs alive longer. Most people suggest just making your other ships more offensive so they can finish others off quickly, which in turn actually protects biggs better as well.

Though I know I shouldn't, I have made a list that tries to keep biggs from getting hit much. It's probably crazy, but I feel bad that biggs has to die every time. He gets such a bad beat, being a trusty wingman. In light of this, here is a list that gives biggs 5 green dice as long as chewie is obstructing the shot, and 6 at range 3. When cracken fires at ps 10, he will give biggs his second action so he always has his r2f2 agility and focus token for defense. I know it's crazy but I gotta try it some night for fun.

When I got my TFA Core Set, I flew this list in a few games and it was a blast:

 

=========
Poe Biggs
=========
 
100 points
 
Biggs Darklighter (29)
X-Wing (25), R2-D2 (4)
 
Wedge Antilles (34)
X-Wing (29), BB-8 (2), Push the Limit (3)
 
Poe Dameron (37)
T-70 X-Wing (31), R5-P9 (3), Draw Their Fire (1), Autothrusters (2)
 
Biggs has all sorts of uses.  Sometimes I wish there were an equivalent pilot/upgrade ability for other factions.
