    I'm not soo sure to be honest. They really took away a lot of the ARC's favorite toys in 2.0. No more PTL, BB-8, Broken R2-D2, M9-G8. Astromechs as a whole have been weakened to complete lukewarm. Not to mention that it no longer can fly in formation with some of its favorite friends like Biggs, Lowhhrick, Sheathipede, etc due to the medium base. Also with the loss of Kyle Katarn and C-3PO, the arc is both less efficient and more squishy.

    Finally, they didnt really do anything to make me compelled to take the Arc over the much cheaper U-Wing with arguably better stats and better utility. 1 less health for an extra evade dice and no rear, but it doesnt matter when the U-Wing can 180° stop-turn.

    If I were to run one in a list, it would probably be Ibtisam or Garven, naked as a 3rd ship with two better aces, or go all out and build a jank, formation jousting list based around Sharra's ability. Add in 67 point Benthic in the U-Wing and Dutch in the Y-Wing, then throw in a Bandit Z and you've got a good little honest joust list that can throw a decent chunk of dice. 29 health is nothing to sneeze at either.

    I dont know if that list can beat a bomber swarm though so I guess it's bad.

    Can I just mention how much of a flavour win this is though? The ARC was phased out of rebel use due to better options and low availability, and here we are only looking at the arc for very specific combos.

    But it's 10 points for what basically amounts to another whole ship.  

     

    You use the ability when a ship would die, it lives to continue fighting, effectively meaning you got another ship for 10 points.  Especially great if your opponent used something like a torpedo, or a force charge/one time ability and you give them the "Nope Card"

    She can't save herself

    At the risk of derailing the thread a little, what does everyone think the GAR ARC will look like, and do you think having a generic will be appealing?

    The CIS are the bad guys. And yes, she does.

    Actually made it into the CGI cartoon as well. 

    Saying the CIS is the bad guys really overlooks the politics of the Clone Wars. Arguably, the faction that wanted freedom from a tyrannical government that used an army of slaves to enforce its will should be seen as the good guys.
