Annihilator + Kallus + QLTS + PDR can kill them quickly, and it's a thing. If you want the Fighters to stay in bombing range against Jerjerrod, put them in the center of the side arc (not double-arced, obviously), not the nose. The SSD pivots quite a bit, and can easily dodge uncommanded squadrons and obstacles positioned right in front of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but hopefully you should be exerted control of where he’s going to be putting his nose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norell 1,198 Posted September 4, 2019 What about Leia MC30? 4 of them, max speed until they get to the back of the SSD. Then slow down and eat it inside out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norell 1,198 Posted September 8, 2019 You know, I just realized I wrote Leia instead of Mothma. 1 The Jabbawookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Church14 2,495 Posted September 10, 2019 Well. Last night I faced my first SSD at 400 points. I brought Mon Karren, Aspiration, and Defiance with Raddus. I destroyed the SSD with my last activation on turn 3. Like everything else, multiple hits really stresses defense token economy. 2 The Jabbawookie and Bertie Wooster reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defiance died and Mon Karren had one hull left. Aspiration was in pretty good shape but would have ended up in a bad chase scenario had the game gone one more turn.

sasska 88 Posted September 13, 2019 I tabled an SSD Rogue list with Ackbar on a pelta, and 4 nebs. Nasty double arcs, I made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Divad 240 Posted September 14, 2019 Countering a SSD is not particularly hard when you know you will fly against one. I recommend just slightly tweaking one of your normal builds and seeing how it goes. Practice flying sub-optimal builds against it. Plus your friend wants to try their SSD out. It won't be particularly fun for them if you bring a hard counter list, that would fail against most normal lists. 2 Mad Cat and sasska reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
