Fun Builds for A Fun Tourney

[signoftheserpent 92]

Fun times, i've no interest in serious play as it only attracts the tryhards (the sort who moan if you pick up the range ruler at the wrong time or whine if you don't have enough dice in your collection).

 

Either:

 

Vader + Outmaneouver

Col Vessery + VI

Random Phantom Pilot (sigma squadron?) + Saboteur and Stygium Thingy (free evade).

 

Or:

 

Oicun + Mara, Jerjerrod, Predator, and Ysanne

Kath Scarlett + Lone Wolf and Rebel Captive and that card that only Large ship shave that gets rid of a lock and gives them 1 extra agility for the turn.

 

Something like that.

Saboteur on a phantom is hilarious! I once used Soontir Fel, Carnor Jax and Captain Kagi at a Game Night tournament. Kagi had Saboteur, but in the three games I played he never used it. Phantoms have a better chance because they can decloak to close the distance, and it definitely wins points for unconventionality.

So, what's your question?

It gives them something to do while cloaked.

We had a tourney on May 4th last year and I decided to do a thematic squad:

 

Chewie w/Han, Threepio and the Falcon title

Luke w/Artoo

Rebel Operative w/Leia

 

Basically, the original cast, as close to canon as I could get (Leia on the HWK was the only way to get everyone in).  I named it "The Holiday Special," fully expecting it to be a disaster.  And the dang thing ended up going 2-1!

I prefer int agents on generic phantoms.

 

They basically become their named variants only cheaper by 10 or so points

 

 

royal pain in the ass for anyone looking to not get blocked that turn

I don't really see how useful the intelligence agent is given that you're looking at the dial after you've chosen yours

Will help you to decide whether to de cloak or not and in what direction, especially if they have a higher PS than your phantom...

[signoftheserpent 92]

Maybe, but that's not the build i was looking for. Saboteur just allows the phantom to annoy people. I suppose you could use Mara Jade the same way.

Four shuttles with ion canons.

40 hp to guide opponents off the map!

It's only useful if you have ships that with abilities that allow them to reposistion.

You are referring to Countermeasures. Cool card I've yet to see played. 

 

I ran Kath and Rear Admiral last night and went 2/1. Kath with Lone Wolf and Rec Spec, Admiral with Rebel Captive, Ysanne Isarrd, Determination, and Weapon's Engineer. It was fun and liberating to have to think of only 2 ships, but Imperial Kath no longer rocks my knee socks now that I've found true love in Scum and Villainy.

At the top of my fun-list-to-play list:

 

"Backseat Drivers"

 

4 Blue squadron pilots with E2 mod and a named crew member that is also a pilot in their own right.

options for crew include: Kyle Katarn, Han Solo, Lando, Leebo, Nien Numb, Dash, and Jan Ors.

 

It would make for interesting gameplay and plenty of banter opportunity.

[signoftheserpent 92]

might just play the Outrider as its fun. Last time i used Dash + Lando + Experimental INterface + HLC + title + VI. Not sure about VI, it's a bit dull but Dash has crappy PS.

 

Not sure what to use with it though. I tried Etan Baht but it didn't work.

Imp Kath with mangler cannon, lonewolf, and tactician may have enough special tricks in her bag to sway you back...

Nien Numb isn't a pilot, only crew.
