Rebel Masterpiece: X-Wing Tactics

By Barclay Montgomery | August 29th, 2017 | Categories: Star Wars Tactics, X-Wing 2.0

Sabine has been working hard on her TIE masterpiece for the Rebels. Come and take a look at this wonderfully artful TIE fighter for Star Wars X-Wing!

Sabine is a very nimble pilot that is able to perform a free boost or barrel roll immediately before you activate her. This gives her unparalleled maneuverability within X-Wing. This free barrel roll or boost pairs perfectly with a new Elite upgrade.

Intensity is an dual sided Elite upgrade that allows you to assign 1 focus or evade to your ship after performing a boost or barrel roll: 2 actions that Sabine loves to do! However this Elite has a small drawback: once you assign an evade or focus, you must flip Intensity. 

Intensity on the flip-side requires you to spend 1 focus or evade token at the end of the Combat Phase to flip it back over. This is a little tricky since it is difficult to keep tokens since you want to spend them attacking and defending. But there is a way around this. 

Add Sabine’s Masterpiece title, which opens up a crew slot for the Rebel TIE. Then you can add Captain Rex. He gives you the ability to gain a focus token after you perform an attack that does not hit. This gives you some added insurance if you spend your focus during your attack and it misses. You will get a new focus from Rex and be able to spend it to flip Intensity. Synergy!

Having new cards opens up combos for characters not previously seen before. Will you try this new build for Sabine Wren?
