Killer B’s Going To Swarm: Star Wars X-Wing

By Barclay Montgomery | November 16th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

The humble B-Wing is still a force to be reckoned with in Star Wars X-Wing. Let’s keep that party going with the Rebels and Ten Numb! 

Ten Numb is a pilot skill 8 B-Wing that has a powerful pilot ability. When attacking with Ten Numb, 1 of your critical results cannot be cancelled by defense dice. This is a great way to force damage through to your opponents, especially ones that rely on defense dice to keep them alive. With the B-Wing/ E2 title, we can equip a crew member. Let’s take this combo to the max with a Rebel only crew member.

The crew member Bistan allows you to change 1 of your hit results to a critical result while attacking at range 1-2. This enables Ten Numb’s ability and can result in 1 uncancellable crit. We can further capitalize on this with a cannon upgrade. The Autoblaster is an insane cannon upgrade that has 3 attack dice and makes it so that your hit results cannot be cancelled by defense dice. This cannon only has a range of 1, so this requires careful maneuvering.

Advanced Sensors is the perfect upgrade for B-Wings as it gives them extra flexibility when maneuvering around. Since their maneuver dial is not that flexible, getting a barrel roll done right before you reveal your maneuver can land you in some interesting spots.

Ten Numb with this build will be able to throw out damage that cannot be cancelled by defense dice. Autoblaster makes it so that hits (and 1 crit) cannot be cancelled, and Bistan helps by giving you a free crit. For the Rebellion!
