Buzz Droids! X-Wing 2.0 Vulture Build

Droid fighters

The Separatist Droid Fighters have a new weapon up their sleeve to defeat the Republic: Buzz Droids! These small nuisances can really hurt enemy ships.

The Droids are attacking in X-Wing 2.0! They have new munitions that can wreak havoc upon the battlefield once they find their target. Leading this charge will be DFS-311, a Vulture-Class Droid Fighter.

DFS-311

This nimble fighter can transfer calculate tokens to another friendly ship at range 0-3 once the Engagement Phase begins, and not too soon since he is at initiative 1. His Networked Calculations can also aid his droid self as well as his allies with calculate tokens galore. Discord Missiles

Besides his payload of calculate tokens, this Droid pilot is packing Discord Missiles. These missiles are unique in that they themselves deal no damage, but the tiny prizes waiting inside just might do some of their own. At the start of the Engagement Phase, you may spend 1 calculate token and 1 charge to launch 1 buzz droid swarm using a speed 3 maneuver. This weapon is perfect for messing with those Republic starfighters! Buzz Droid Swarm

Buzz Droid Swarms can be nasty if they manage to lock onto your ship. After an enemy ship moves through a buzz droid token, relocate it to the ships front or rear guides. Once the buzz droids are attached, during the Engagement Phase at initiative 0, each enemy ship at range 0 suffers 1 critical damage. It’s in your enemy’s ships best interest to avoid these, but if they can’t they will be in a world of hurt that even R2-D2 cannot save them from!
