Flying the Falcon With Rey: X-Wing Tactics

By Barclay Montgomery | March 1st, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Rey is a Force prodigy, and her skills show it whenever she pilots the Millenium Flacon. Let’s take a look at a Rey build for Star Wars X-Wing.

Rey is all about keeping her enemies in front. The Millennium Falcon is already quite maneuverable already, but the Force Awakens title makes it all the better, and easier to get Rey’s ability off. 

The Expertise elite upgrade will help with Rey’s offense. Her ability allows her to reroll up to to blanks while attacking, and Expertise ensures that your Focus results become hits. Just more insurance for damage potential! Expertise only kicks in when you are not stressed, but that should not be too hard to pull off.

Finn makes Rey even better by adding a blank die whenever she is attacking or defending. This is another die that you get to reroll, and Expertise makes sure that the chances of getting damage off are in your favor. Since we have been boosting offense mainly let’s go for a defensive upgrade.

R2-D2 is always a great crew option. Being able to recover a shield at will is not small feat, and his drawback is hilariously fluffy. Much like R2 in the Empire Strike back, he might have to work the kinks out before he can get the job done.

That’s it for this X-Wing build breakdown. Have you flown Rey yet in your Rebel squadron?
