Lando Gambino: Star Wars X-Wing Build

By Rob Baer | July 3rd, 2018 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Lando is one smooth fella. He’s in the back of his Millennium Falcon playing Sabacc with his bud Han Solo, and Rey is flying in this cool X-Wing build!

Rey is at the controls of the Millennium Falcon this time around, while Han and Lando enjoy a classic game of Sabbacc in the back. Rey is an amazingly talented pilot, and she can reroll up to 2 of her blanks results on her dice, whenever she is attacking or defending. This can make her surprisingly tricky to hit in the 1 agility YT-1300. Han and Lando will also lend their talents to the battle at hand.

Since Rey already has a built-in reroll mechanic, her target locks are not as useful, but with Han, they work totally different. When attacking, if you have a target lock on the defender, you may spend your target lock to change all of your focus results to hit results. Han has the switch up under his sleeve by treating target locks as focus tokens. 

Lando is smooth and suave with his cool action ability. As an action, you may roll 2 defense dice. For each focus and each evade result, add a corresponding token to your ship. Roll 2 focus; gain 2 focus tokens. Roll 1 evade and 1 focus; gain 1 focus and 1 evade token. Lando is a gambler at heart and he could win big for you, or come up empty-handed. Roll the dice!. 

An Experimental Interface can give you the most bang for your buck when it comes to Han and Lando. Once per round after you perform an action, you may perform 1 free action from an equipped upgrade card with the “Action:” header. Then receive 1 stress token. What this does is allows you to target lock your opponent to activate Han’s ability later on, and then allows you to roll off on Lando’s action gamble.

The stress token is a bit of a trade-off, but you won’t necessarily have to use it every turn. Use the dynamic gambling duo in your next game for some serious fun. This is X-Wing.
