So at first glance I was thinking Greedo might not be that good because he can only go on the HWK or the firespray but on second glance consider the following: Greedo's ability doesnt trigger as a crit. its a face up card that cannot be countered by draw their fire. It also triggers and resolves before crits...example you land a hit and a crit. resolve the greedo hit first then the crit. you could quite possibly kill a target with only a hit and a crit.

Now consider pilots: The Fett would be a great choice as his Scum ability allows him to have a better chance to hit and a less chance to take damage on the first roll of the dice ( that bit is crucial as Greedo only pops on the first roll of the dice. so no double greedo on gunner or cluster missiles)

Scum Kath would be a nice choice too as her rear arc can wreak some nice damage. add a synergistic EPT and an illicit and shes quite the Scarlett Pirate (stole that from an old thread)

Now the HWKS. at first glance you wouldnt want to put Greedo on a HWK due to only one shield but I ask you to consider the following pilots: Pablo the Bandito He will be stealing a focus or evade thus making him more likely to hit a naked target and less likely to take damage.

The Dread Pirate Torkil's ability isnt synergistic but is interesting. his ability could would allow to hit a PS 0 target and resolve Greedo before it fires. so you could Blind that pilot, reduce its primary weapon value, it may skipp its attack, or you may outright kill it with a direct hit.

Now lets look at weapons that Greedo loves.

Auto Blaster and Auto Blaster turret

hits cant be cancelled so that means you get a defacto crit with greedo.

My favorite: HLC. Usually crits are rare with the HLC but now Greedo wields this big gun like Jesse the bOdy ventura in predator.

4 dice with a crit...nice

now for interesting weapons in Greedo's mits: Ion canon, ICT, and the Ion Pulse missle

Before Greedo these weapons were strictly for control and tempo purposes. now if you score a hit, its a "crit" and the target is ioned...nasty

now how to use him in lists?

which would you do?

I suppose feedback array with greedo would be good too. especially against targets outside your arc such as shieldless interceptors

Too bad you can't pair him with a Mercenary Co-pilot. 2 Crits with an HLC at range 3. Plus, two Rodians at that.

Might I also direct your attention to:

Feedback array won't work with Greedo as you aren't attacking.

sadly, won't work with bombs either

might've been nice to actually make protons viable (by using seismics instead )

your best bet will probably be to use him with some form of ion. Unless you're fighting turrets (ugh) you can arrange it to guarantee that something won't be shooting back at you.

I like Dace Bonearm w/ ICT, Determination and Greedo. He dishes out a crit and a bonus damage each time his ION FREAKING CANNON hits. Pretty brutal. His shield will block the first Greedo effect and then hopefully Determination will help out at some point. At least you know he'll be PS 7 and have his pilot ability all game.

A pretty modest 30 points if you ask me.

Was thinking the combo of kath+HLC +greedo+opportunist

And Pablo +blaster+security droid+ opportunist could be nasty

Pablo strips a token from target. Kath gets five dice with either arc and greedo's. Pablo performs focus (or steals one) blaster with Opp= four dice. Next round security droid on your green maneuver to clear stress

Something is gonna get hit hard with 9 dice

YES! This was exactly my plan for Greedo as well. Hit, crit, and ion token all at once?! Sign me up!!

me likey the bone list

But what about the downside? your taking a face up cards each round on that ship once shields are gone, from ions as well.

I was thinking of putting Shield Upgrade on the Firespray with Greedo for extra insurance against face-up damage cards. Thoughts? Is it worth 4 pts to potentially block one more damage?
