Jedi Attack Squad: X-Wing 2.0 Squad Build

By Barclay Montgomery | March 20th, 2019 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Plo Koon

Plo Koon is putting together a squad that supports each other through the battle of X-Wing 2.0. Get your team ready to take on the Separatists! Plo Koon

Jedi Master Plo Koon is at the helm of an Aethersprite in X-Wing 2,0, and he is ever supportive of his fellow wingmen. Plo Koon has an ability that kicks on during the Engagement Phase, and allows him to spend 1 Force charge to choose another friendly ship at range 0-2; then you may transfer 1 green token to that ship or take 1 orange token from it. Giving an extra focus token to a friendly ship can help out if it had previously spent one during an attack, and can help it boost its defenses for the counter-attack.

R2-C4

The interesting new gimmick with the Jedi pilots of the Aetherprite ships is that they have a purple evade action. This means that they can spend 1 Force charge to gain an evade token instead of using a normal action for the evade. This allows for a doubling-up on tokens or can provide a sneaky offensive boost. With R2-C4, while you perform an attack, you may spend 1 evade token to change 1 focus result into a hit. This can help Plo Koon make his attack hit just that much hard, and all with an evade token!
Axe

A new type of craft to enter X-wing 2.0 is the V-19 Torrent Starfighter. This small and nimble ships will be the wingmen to Plo Koon. The first up is Axe. This pilot also has a nifty ability to help out his buddies. After Axe defends or performs an attack, he may choose a friendly ship at range 1-2 in his side arcs and can transfer 1 green token to that ship. Like Plo Koon’s ability, this can help out a fellow wingman in a tight spot that may need extra tokens for defense, or even to help boost the attack of a wingman in an advantageous position. Tucker

As a finisher, Tucker is bringing the pain train! After a friendly ship at range 1-2 performs an attack against an enemy in your front arc, you may perform a focus action. At initiative 2, Plo Koon and Axe will attack before Tucker so he can take advantage of his focus ability. Bring your ships together to fight the good fight in X-Wing 2.0!
