SA gives an extra turn, and endeavour with DCA over MonK to allow it to take more of a beating. Squads for a speed bump only. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jabbawookie 5,754 Posted June 21, 2018 You realize with XI7s and HTT you’re incentivizing them to just brace and end up ignoring the HTT, right? Otherwise, looks good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss read the last bit on the card, seeing now they can fully brace by spending only that. 6pts freed up 1 The Jabbawookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EbonHawk 1,246 Posted June 21, 2018 Put Jaina's light on the CR-90, and leave it with a 10pt bid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a good title, but if you run it with XI7s, they’ll likely just brace (and spend other tokens vs the 75.) However, Intel Officer is a good choice to target that brace and leave them with insubstantial redirects. IDK what DCO is doing on a containless ship, but Ebon, you should tell her the luxury cruise is over. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since that cannot activate first on the turn it is deployed, you don't need a bid so much as with other lists. If you are thinking ahead, you might want to activate first on turn x+1, after raddus drops the ship. However, Bail Organa can do the exact same thing for less if you plan the raddus drop right, which is not hard. Thus, it is almost always worth it to just stuff the dropship to the brim with upgrades. 6 hours ago, The Jabbawookie said: IDK what DCO is doing on a containless ship Endeavour gives you a free contain token. But I agree, it's not worth it. I would still never take the DCO on an ship with two contains, never mind one. But this ties everything up nicely. Replace DCO with Bail, and then upgrade the CR90 to TRCR90, with intel officer for bonus fun. If you are really sold on the CR90b, take Dodonna's pride with leading shots, but I do not recommend it. 1 The Jabbawookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eliteone 660 Posted July 19, 2018 H9s instead of the HTT will effectively lock down the Brace, and the Xi7s for the re-directs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginjo Halan 6 Posted July 20, 2018 I don't think Endevor can take effect if the Star Cruiser is in hyperspace. 1 1 EbonHawk and R4Pi3R reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hereticjon 20 Posted July 23, 2018 Well that's good since Mon Karen is better anyways. Take Spinals instead of XI7s and enjoy your instant death zone drop. Use it well. 1 EbonHawk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
