Ok. I'm going to throw out some variations here, and you tell me what you like:

I ran this in the Iowa City store championships

Jonus, Squad Leader

Gamma Concussion, Proton Torp

Gamma Concussion Proton Torp

Gamma Concussion

(98) points

I thought I would have some pilot skill advantage over people. Not a once. Jonus died a lot. I went 1-2.

Squad ONE

I'm debating between the following

Jonus PTL Homing

Gamma Assault miss, Cluster

Gamma Assault miss, Cluster

Dark Curse

(100)

Squad TWO

Jonus Elusiveness, Shield Upgrade, Seismic charge

Scimitar Assault, Cluster

Scimitar Assault Cluster

Backstabber Stealth Device

(99)

Squad THREE

Jonus PTL, Shield Upgrade

Scimitar Assault Cluster

Simitar Assault Cluster

Alpha Interceptor Stealth Device

Thoughts?

I like Jonus lists, especially if you have him with Squad Leader and no ordinance escorting two bombers. I think a PTL saber on the far side works pretty well with him. With Squad Leader, you can grant a target lock to a scimitar bomber and let it get a focus attack with rerolls.

One change I would make for sure is to take ordnance with variable range. If you're running Jonus, take some cluster missiles. With the reroll they can really put it to B-Wings and Falcons, and they work at range 1. Against the squad you list I'd try to get at point blank range.

How was Jonus dying? He can hang back a little bit from the other bombers as he just needs to be range 1, not right next to them. With bombers, if after the 2nd round of shooting you're not starting cleanup, you're probably in some trouble.

I would like to try this sometime:

Jonus

Gamma + Proton Torpedo + Cluster Missiles x 3

If Jonus is alive through the 2nd round to get the PS4 Bombers their rerolls on Clusters, that's a TON of damage.

The problem is keeping jonus alive. They went HARD against him in every match. And once he's gone, those missiles aren't great.
