Chewiebo builds - whats your pick?

[Essexkiwi 5]

Having fun with these two but hard settle on a build.

So far Im favouring this.

Chewy, PTL, Kanan, Kyle, Falcon title. 52

Leebo, Determination, Outrider, HLC, Intel Agent. 48

Would like 1pt more to put Dash crew on Leebo but dont like dropping Kanan for Jan as without EU Chewy is limited to his green moves to clear stress.

Thoughts?

That's a good looking list. I really don't see a way to squeeze Dash crew in there, though. Would be kinda funny to have Dash crew Leebo's ship and Han crew Chewie's, though.

Cheers. Taking Jan really just appeals for the option to get 2 evade tokens for durability.
Think the Kanan build will be more fun to fly.

Hmm.. just thinking for a very durable Chewy taking PTL, title plus Jan and C3PO.
3 evades per turn would make him very hard to kill.

 

Edit.  Obiwonka I agree on Dash, he's a great crew for Leebo just couldn't find 1pt to fit him in so have changed out Kyle for Jan.

 

So running with:

Chewy, title, PTL, Kanan, Jan.

Leebo, title, HLC, Determination, Dash.

 

Sooo many variations you can run, one of the things I really enjoy about this game

Chewbo is characterised by tankiness and for that reason I prefer to play to those strengths and make your opponent fight for each point of damage he inflicts on you. I always like to chuck C-3PO on my Falcon, much as I like the Kanan/Kyle combo. Rather than trying to rack-up stress and then shift it, maybe go for Predator for a more action-independent offensive boost.

50 Chewy (42), Predator (3), C-3PO (3), Jan Oors (2)

50 Leebo (35), Determination (1), Outrider (5), HLC (7), Recon Specialist (3)

 

This gives a tougher Falcon that is less dependent on actions and also less vulnerable to stress. Adding Rec Spec to the Outrider is always a good option as 4 red and 2 green dice give plenty of scope for Focus tokens to kick in.

51 Leebo (35), Determination (1), Outrider (5), HLC (7), Intel Agent (1), Recon Specialist (3)

 

Only one crew slot on the YT-2400 -- maybe you meant to put Intel Agent on Chewie?

Thanks I did indeed. Looks like a missed a crucial step in my copy-paste-edit tactic.

I realise that it works better on the Outrider but I think Rec Spec works better there. YMMV.

I used to use this:

YT-1300: · Chewbacca (42)

Predator (3)

· C-3PO (3)

Recon Specialist (3)

· Millennium Falcon (Evade) (1)

YT-2400: · "Leebo" (34)

Predator (3)

"Mangler" Cannon (4)

· Jan Ors (2)

· Outrider (5)

-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

I put jan ors on Leebo to give him an evade token, or to let chewie focus and evade. I think I would have been better off putting recon specialist on leebo.
