Drea's Stress Party

Read an interesting discussion on Drea Renthal on teamcovenant . Never considered how her never-ending target lock could lead to such shenanigans. Not sure what sort of list to build around her though.

Drea Renthal (22)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R4-B11 (3)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Binayre Pirate (12) X4
N'Dru Suhlak (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Total: 100
The idea is the Banana Pirates get in and block stuff up so that Drea can just shred stuff by rolling, rerolling, force opponent to reroll defense dice, attack with turret, reroll, and force opponent to reroll again with R4-B11. Suhlak runs as a flanker and filler. Not sure how effective the list will be but it would be fun to go up against a Psycho Telchu list and see who can generate the most stress!

If one of your other ships lands the killing blow on a target that Drea has target locked, she is pretty much screwed for actions for the rest of the match.

Yeah, the trick would be if your target is close to death to acquire a target lock on a different ship to keep the party going. I was thinking of using Drea with some torpedoes instead of title. Proton Torps seem like a perfect fit if you can fire, acquire a target lock, spend target lock to mod attack dice, acquire another, spend to mod defense dice, acquire another... Definitely worth checking out.
