Get ready to pile on the stress with the leader of Blade Squadron: Braylen Stramm. This B-Wing ace has a nice trick up his sleeve.
The Rebels have themselves a B-Wing ace on their hands here with Braylen Stramm. Rocketing into X-Wing 2.0 at initiative 4, this B-Wing pilot lives for stress.
While Braylen defends or attacks, if he is stressed, he may re-roll up to 2 of his dice. Either way, you slice it, adding stress tokens that help your pilot out is always a good thing. 
Being a B-Wing pilot, some maneuvers are tricky to perform and add stress to the pilot. Advanced Sensors helps mitigate this slight weakness by allowing you to perform an action after revealing your maneuver dial. This allows your pilot to get an action before performing a red maneuver. Getting an action and a stress for Braylen is a 2 point combo that will serve him well.
Performing red maneuvers is great for getting a stress token for Braylen, but this can lead to predictable flight paths. Open up your maneuver dial once you equip Static Discharge Vanes. Before you would gain an ion or jam token, you may gain 1 stress token to select another ship at range 0-1 to receive that jam or ion token instead. This can help Braylen avoid getting ioned or jammed and can help him gain his life-giving stress tokens.
Braylen Stramm will be well equipped for battle, but let’s help him keep his Composure. Composure is an Elite upgrade that kicks in after you fail an action; if you have no green tokens, you may perform a focus action. This will help Braylen get those actions in even if he gets blocked. Keep the stress high with Braylen Stramm!
