I'm thinking of running the following, since I've done pretty well with it:

Krassis+HLC

Howlrunner+Stealth Device

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

The basic strategy is to keep all fairly close together. I start Krassis on the outside of the main 4-TIE fleet. This can pose problems since I have to move carefully to put Krassis on the outside of the main fleet. I could use a critique on this move.

Goal is to get the opponent to go after Krassis; I keep him back at Rng 3 to maximize his HLC along with Evades. His position on the outside of the fleet is to get the fleet in close while the opponent tries to dodge around the TIEs in order to get shots on Krassis.

My main concern is: do I really need Stealth Device on Howlrunner? Would Howlrunner be better serviced with another Mod/EPT?

Really just need some feedback on this list, since I'll probably be using it in my first tourney. Also, I've been placing the asteroids in the four corners of the map.

Cheers!

In Tournament play, you cant put any asteroids within range 1 or 2 of the edges, so keep that in mind.

i would take away stealth, put determination on her and seismic on Krassis, or take all 3 points and put rebel captive on krassis

depends on the meta, but i would chose the rebel captive

I would keep Stealth Device, or swap it for Hull Upgrade.

I would keep Stealth Device, or swap it for Hull Upgrade.

Ultimately, I feel having Stealth Device and keeping Howl at Rng 3 discourages the player from attacking Howl. Howl stays around longer and everyone gets more rerolls.

But on the flip side, if the opponent does decide to go after Howl, SD gets stripped fairly quickly.

If Stealth Device blocks even one hit before it falls of, it's matched a Hull Upgrade.

Is the tournament you're referring to the Regional at KublaCon?
