The obvious play is to run dutch and vrill together with jan as support. She can be dangerous late game if going against only fel. The synergy is great and turns Vrill into a HLC at any range vs a stressed opponent.

Han can save me my focus for defense. Vrill is also very much overlooked as a damage dealer, in this situation he can wreak havoc with anyone even range 1 interceptors.

Seems counterintuitive to run Dutch with r3-a2. Pretty much makes his pilot talent moot.

I also think gunner would be a better option on vrill.

Yeah... Dutch is a weird one to run R3-A2. Once you double tap stress you aren't doing actions again. I'd drop down to a gold.

Also, ABT is sort of worthless on the HWK. Even with EU, getting into range 1 will be hard. I don't even think you want Jan into range 1 of anything. The HWK is kind of fragile and her ability lets her have some stand-off. With the 5 points you save from dropping down to a Gold from Dutch, I'd run a Blaster Turret and Moldy title.

So I did drop dutch down to a Grey (needed a higher PS than Vrill). You were right about the ability and it's wasted as my y-wing is getting upwards of 8 stress a game.

The ABT is actually a good upgrade as it is cheap and effective, at PS 10 jan can move and boost into range 1 of soontir and with Chewbacca to back her she shouldn't die too quickly.

If I were to build a Vrill and Jan Ors build, that's pretty much how I'd run it. I used to play a WSF + HLC + Title with Jan + Roark that was a fun list, minus the donut hole draw back on PS 2 ship. With Y Wing toting BTLA4 title and R3A2, I could totally see Vrill fitting into that spot and succeeding.

I've done this, but I had Nera with Flechettes and munitions failsafe as my third ship. Did quite well with it the one time I ran it.
