A silly idea. . . Dodonna the Oppressor

The goal behind this list is to strip defense tokens and force damage through.

No Nym?

No Nym?

Nah. Luke would be the best idea but at the same time I don't think it is a good idea.

[Lyraeus 4,759]

This list is BRUTAL!

[Englishpete 1,379]

That is a really NASTY list, pretty much need a rogue heavy squadron list to take it out whilst keeping at least one ship safe....

I was taking down ISD's and MC80s with ease! It scares me! Being able to choose between a double hit and a crit and using Intel Officer on the right targets really changed the way damage was being pushed through

[Englishpete 1,379]

Intel Officer with so many ships doing 2-4 damage a turn is just impossible to defend against. My counter would be to run my 3 x Engine Tech Gladiators with Ozzel and 4 Aggressors and 4 Firesprays.

 

Weaken or kill a few CR's with the Glads, then pull them out and let the squadrons go to work.

 

I defeated a 7 x CR TLRC list with it, but they had no Intel Officers.

I think that the TLRC, CR-90A combo is as near to OP as this game goes, legal, but somewhat out of balance.

I think it has good balance. While incredibly strong you are putting all of that onto a very fragile base.

I think the Ackbar TRC90's is insane because it means you don't have to maneuver as much.

[Englishpete 1,379]

I would agree with that, Ackbar carries it over the top. I wouldn't mind your list if for no other reason that you took Dodonna :-)

I don't know how I feel about the big ship dodonna build. . . it works with intel officer but the way IO worked for me was to force hard decisions on their tokens to either get damage through or to shred tokens for later game. . . You really need target saturation to make it work imho.

[CaribbeanNinja 5,991]

So the balancing factor is how easy the trc90s can pop. I've played against a similar list many times now and I think the key against it is staying the hell away from foresight. I hate that blasted ship. Thank goodness it doesn't maneuver well at 4.

Focus on the trc90s and they will go down.

I also hate going into games now with so few squads. I think a strong bomber list could beat this.

I agree, however, that lists like this with trcr90s are incredible.

 

[Lyraeus 4,759]

I don't know. . . I have been using MC30's at speed 4 when needed and it gets me exactly where I want.

This list is annoying because of Dodonna and Intel Officer. Being able to focus on a ship with 3 to 5 Intel Officers doing 2 damage a shot will hurt!

[Englishpete 1,379]

the real beauty is that Armada is such a balanced game that there is no dominant list and that makes me a happy player.
