Y Etahn, Y?

Etahn works best if you get a lot of attacks on a ship, turning the hits into crits through his magical voodoo powers.

So usually you see if him (if you do) with a bunch of Z's. But soon there'll be the BTL-A4 title for the sturdy Y-Wings, doubling their attacks. They are more expensive but that comes with a bigger body.

Etahn A'baht (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
R3-A2 (2)
Hull Upgrade (3)
"Dutch" Vander (23)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R7-T1 (3)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Horton Salm (25)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R2 Astromech (1)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Total: 100
This is a bit of a list I'm thinking of, 5 attacks with a strong possibility of scoring crits and locking the target into a movement pattern. The problem is of course the high risk of getting someone on your six and being picked off piece by piece. But I do think this list has teeth.

It's certainly an interesting way to play etahn. I'd probably opt for fcs over the accuracy corrector since his ability won't trigger on it.

Oh frag, you're right.

In that case I might even forgo the systems upgrade altogether and just upgrade his hull.

Etahn's ability doesn't really do anything for Ion weapons. After the you determine that there's a hit you'd cancel the crit.

I guess he would work for Ten Nunb. Ten with an Ion Cannon would have get a guaranteed Ion token if he was able to benefit from Etahn's ability.
