I struggle with rebels but want to mix it up so I'm trying them again. I love the firespray and 2 interceptors with PTL. Can't seem to find anything that compares on rebels so I'm trying heavy hitters. I need you all to destroy this list on paper before it gets destroyed on the table TOMORROW night!

Etahn A'baht

Blue Squadron Pilot

-FCS

-HLC

-HLC

I know he will be using Imps and maybe even the Decimator (he loves 360 turret) and this list seems good for that but not sure overall. My other lists were X-wings which I just love and maybe a Y-wing with Ion turret. Old school I know but was purely for fun...I think I need to be a little more competitive?

Edit: Still have 6 pts, suggestions?

PTL on Abaht and maybe FCS or R5-P9 or whatever his name is that you can spend a focus token and get a shield back.

I'd consider the fcs on any of the shops optional.

I'd give etahn r2d2 and hull upgrade and predator.

How about something different

Corran Horn with push the limit, fire control system, flechette torpedos, r2d2

Well my goal here is to have heavy hitters that can even give crits, easier TL with FCS so I can focus, then e'tahn can give them a crit, the thought was I could kill most 1 imp in one round. Thanks for suggestions, keep em coming!

Don't run Ethan naked he won't survive very long without ptl.

If you stay with Etahn I would give him ptl. He moves too early and every phantom and interceptor is going to be able to arc-dodge. You'll have to turtle him up.

To make the most out of eatin A boat you probably want as many shots as possible, so spam z-95s

Eathn needs to stay behind the other 4

Agreed he works best when you cram in as many ships as possible.

I know everyone says that Ten Numb is not worth his points, but I've found using him with Etahn really makes him shine. Don't give him the HLC, though, as it negates the crits. It will also cost him about the same. I also stuck VI on him to ensure he can fire at Phantoms. I like Etahn and Ten Numb combined as it means that a crit is always getting through (as long as you hit!). Even if it just hits shields or turns into a regular hit (due to Chewbacca or something), it's still a hit that can't be blocked.

I'm also using Wedge instead of a B-wing as I like the chance to crit something with Etahn.

Ten Numb/Etahn is really solid. I think the hlc still crits too.

I ran this recently. It's pretty good, but Soontir and Whisper are real threats. It certainly can chomp down on low-agility lists though. And if they ever try to gun for Corran first any lost is hosed.

Soontir and Whisper are going to be legit threats to any list that doesnt have a turret/multiple skill 10 pilots

It does. HLC flips and then Etahn flips it back.

The HLC applies immediately, then Etahn's ability kicks in. So yes, HLC will cause crits.

Personally I think it's nice in theory, but I'd rather use Etahn with a few more ships. I'm also extremely partial to B-wings. I'd say swap Etahn out and replace with some Zs maybe, for the numbers. Maybe even a pair of Xs if you can fit them. X/Z's can handle the up-close engagements while B-wings snipe with HLC.

Mind that Rebel Aces is gonna be out any day now, so that can give you some powerful tools to mess with Bs too.

PtL, FCS, and R2 on Etahn.

FCS is very good against large base ships, especially if you can manage to get behind them. I would agree that PtL on Etahn is a very good idea, so he can turtle up. Then add FCS on Etahn, and R2 to make it easier for him to shed stress from PtL.

OK, update. I played with 2 Blues, both rocking the HLC, and Corran Horn with PTL, FCS (for his second attack at the end of the round), and R2 to get rid of stress easier. I played against a BSP Swarm with Vader...not the hardest battle but I commend my opponent for using Vader! I won with all 3 ships still having at least 1 shield. Note I used PTL to bring me to as close to a tie Interceptor as possible.

Thanks for all the discussion!
