Feeling kinda numb

Thoughts on this build?

ten numb+FCS+mangler+calculation

Leebo+determination+title+r2d2

tala

=99

Calculation does you no good. Mangler guarantees you the one crit that cannot be cancelled. (Be sure to remind your opponent that an evade token is a dice result!) A second crit could be cancelled by dice result.

Give him Predator for maximum offense.

why put outrider on Leebo if he has no cannon?

Also I think target priority for your opponent is a cinch: kill Ten, then the Tala and if ahead on points, run down time, otherwise try to kill Leebo...

Agreed.

This list had me thinking of an older list of mine (now updated with new cards):

Ten+Mangler+Adv. Sensors+Predator

Wedge+Predator+R2

Biggs+R4-D6

Ten will use Predator for offense and Adv. Sensors to adjust movement or keep actions (in case or red maneuver or being blocked). Wedge fires first and between him and Ten, a lot of damage should be done to their target. Biggs (R4-D6 gives him a bit more survivability) will buy Ten and Wedge 2 rounds of combat (at least) before they have to break off and start thinking defensively.

It would be a fun list to play in the current meta. Swarms are not as popular right now, I expect a huge decrease in Phantoms, and an increase in low shield/high hull ships (like the Interceptor) because of Autothrusters. Against a 2 to 4 ship build, I like this build's chances. All three will probably fire first more times than not in the current meta as well.

I guess i WAS feeling kinda numb. That post was pre-coffee. Leebo should be equipped with mangler. Fair point about Numb and calc. Predator or PTL? and then replace tala with bandit
