Viability of BTL-B Y Wing

Just saw BTL is now farmable on light side battles, and am curious what people think as to it's worth as part of the negotiator squad. I have G12 Bossk and am a tad leery about diving in to farm BTL as Bossk already is a great tank. Thoughts?

    It certainly doesn't seem to be comparable to the Hyena Bomber. Hyena can tank like a champ at 4 stars, whereas the handful of Y-wings I've seen seem to fold like wet tissue paper.

    Maybe it gets significantly better with more stars, though.

  • Bossk doesn't do any good in LSGTB.
    I reject your reality and substitute my own.
  • Ywing’s reinforcement ability at 5 stars grants all present allies retribution for 1 turn, which I think is significant because it’s not just scoundrels like with xanadu, and it’s counter attacks like come on. I’d get it if I weren’t working on hyena

    Yeah I heard GG’s capital ship is pretty useless too

    Thrawn + hounds tooth can solo the DSGTB, no reason to use it for GG capital ship

    It may get better as it's max protection increased due to the percentage based bonus on Astromech Advantage. But it still is less tankier than Sarge's ARC-170

    The problem is with Sarge he HAS to be a reinforcement to work as a tank since he only gets Taunt with protection up if he isn't in the starting lineup. Y-wing doesn't seem great (mine is just 4 stars, so maybe it gets better with more stars), but when you are fielding multiple teams I plop it down in the starting lineup so I can use Hound's Tooth with the Rebel fleet. I'm farming it now for that very reason.

    way to not follow the thread lol
  • In my opinion there is absolute no logical or economical reason, not to farm a pilotless ship at the moment. So easy to gear and cheap to get...
  • I believe it's a platoon requirement in lstb? In which case its needed regardless
  • Ok, thanks for the helpful insight everyone!
