8obman 13 Posted January 4, 2015 Settled on a Rebel list I want to run which is Keyan - opportunist Wes Cracken - predator Bandit Wes strips tokens for Keyan and Craken can give extra action to Wes for extra punch. Bandit for a 4th ship as a blocker. This gives 4 points which I'm not sure where to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Felswrath69 683 Posted January 4, 2015 I don't care how you spend the extra four points, but you have to call this your Kanye West build. 1 DraconPyrothayan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DraconPyrothayan 6,107 Posted January 4, 2015 Possibly the strongest option is to give Cracken a set of Cluster missiles. Clusters + Predator makes up for its otherwise sub-par damage against high agility opponents, and folks running Decimators will hate you. 2 attacks + Cracken = 2 extra actions spread through your fleet. That's nuts! Alternatively, you could go with something to keep your fleet alive. R2D2 on Wes, for instance. Or you could go with a metagaming decision. What fleets do you expect to face? What upgrades make beating those fleets easier? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8obman 13 Posted January 4, 2015 Both those options I've considered. I'm not a fan of ordinance due to one shot but hadn't considered the extra action from Craken. But the extra damage is good for alpha strike. Also R2D2 considered but leaning more towards some way to get more damage in as I think 60m rounds ten to favour rapid damage output more than survival. Good suggestions cheers. Others have been upgrading to a Tala and something else. I don't get much gaming so have no meta really. Hence looking for suggestions rather than play testing. But hopefully taking the squad to a couple of tournaments soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R2-D2 is a damage upgrade in this fleet. It keeps an X-Wing alive, so more rounds of a 3 die attack, and it keeps Opportunist triggering, so more rounds of extra damage and extra focii for Farlander. When your attack is threatening enough, the way to improve damage is by keeping it around, not by giving it 3% extra oomph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8obman 13 Posted January 4, 2015 That was my thinking behind R2D2 but wasn't sure if it would be a good investment. Had a few other suggestions but R2 and Clusters are going to be tried out I think. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
