Lock S-Foils in Attack Position

This list is all about laying out debris fields and forcing your opponent to shoot through them (and letting Han shoot through them). Your goal is to be quirky, annoying and pull off some amazing feats with Han. It’s not your meta defining list.

Your YV-666 purpose is solely to lay out a metric ton of debris fields. You close on your opponent, dropping debris fields behind you, closing their path out. Then you run off the board with Moralo so you can come back behind your opponent. Meanwhile, Han starts wherever he wants on the board to give him lots of good obstacle coverage.

Thanks to Jabba, and the Rigged Cargo Chutes on both ships, you can lay a total of six debris fields. Who has six debris fields? I don’t. But you borrow some or proxy it just to make it happen.

With all of Han’s upgrades and shenanigans you can take you two dice attack YT-1300 all the way up to six attack dice (2 + 1 [range 1] + 2 [Han and Trickshot] + 1 [Falcon title]) if you’re range one, through an obstacle, on a stressed target. You can also roll up to five defense dice (1 + 1 [Stealth Device] + 1 [Range 3] + 2 [Debris field and Han]). Five defense dice on a Falcon is crazy.

Additionally, even when both of your ships are destroyed, they both get to deploy new ships. So your opponent has to kill you twice.

Variations

I went through a lot of options when building this one. There are 31 points worth of upgrades I switched around a dozen times. Lando crew and IG-88D were there for awhile. As was BT-1 and 0-0-0. Essentially, the two Falcon crew, which escape craft and both ships modifications can all be changed yet still achieve the basic feel for this list.
