We have a quick rundown of the newest Rebel ships to hit the X-Wing scene: the U-Wing. What strange new tactics does this new ship offer the Rebellion?
The U-Wing comes in as a large based ship for the Rebels, but with a distinction of not being a turret ship. It has one primary arc with 3 attack, 1 agility, 4 hull, and 4 shields. This ship comes with 2 crew slots and comes with 2 new crew member upgrades.
Cassian Andor is a unique crew upgrade that comes with an interesting ability. You may guess aloud which maneuver your opponent made before he reveals his maneuver dial. You may then look at his dial and if you guess correctly you may change your maneuver. This is crazy good in that it allows you to react to your opponent more effectively and at the least you get to see where that ship will be going.
Jyn Erso is a great crew member that can hand out focus tokens to friendlies within range 1-2 for every enemy in your firing arc.
The U-Wing also features some interesting upgrades that can alter its maneuverability or effectiveness in combat. With the landing option, you may rotate your ship 180 degrees after you perform a 0 maneuver. The attack version allows you to increase your agility by 1.
This ship will have some interesting abilities that will surely add a huge benefit to your Rebel fleet.
