Another issue I would have is that it's an action: because a swarm will corral a Decimator when presented the opportunity. Especially if you want to have Engine Upgrade..

On its own, Expose sucks.

When combined with Experimental Interface however it makes the pancake susceptible to stress and makes your movement predictable, other than that, it is great when you Expose + TL.

WHAAAT!!!!!!!!?????

The Decimator WASN'T a $40 fix for Expose?????

I wasted my money!

Which is why you also take Isaard to make sure you have an action that can trigger experimental interface.

I believe there is one scenario where Expose could be helpful: One on one battles against the MF with C3PO and R2D2. Even assuming you could get all 3 hits, two would get blocked by C3PO and the title, the last one would inflict damage (usually a shield recovered by R2D2), thus removing the Decimator Gunner out of the equation. A 4th or 5th hit could help a lot.

By the way, what should a RAC player do while facing a MF with the title, C3PO and R2D2? Tips would be appreciated.

Get into range 1 and hope to roll 4 hits.

Expose on a Decimator at Range 1 will deal 5 attack dice. It is extremely difficult to do better than that. So Chirpy at Range 1 can Target Lock, has a ghetto Focus effect, and can roll 5 Attack Dice while gaining a stress. That can punch through any Phat Falcon defense.

I have use Expose on old-school Vader in the past (2 Attack Dice sucks) with mixed success. It was very situational and would probably be better off with Outmaneuver.

And here I was thinking "wow, the first thread regarding the decimator where "chirpy" doesn't show up somewhere"...... And then came page 2.
