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.
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
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.

Yeah I heard GG’s capital ship is pretty useless too
but GG ship is the only way you can 4/4 in Ships of P4 in LSGTB
