Hi all, I'm just looking over the new core set imagining how I can pull the new ships into my lists and I looked at Poe Dameron with the new Weapons Guidance tech. Suppose I have a focus on Poe, and roll say a hit, a focus, and a blank. It seems to me that I could I use Poe's ability to turn the focus result into a hit, and then using the Weapons Guidance spend the focus to turn the blank into a hit.

Does that sound right? Does that seem like a decent base to then add an astromech and an EPT to?

You could do that, I would add the decoy ept then, give poe time to use the focus fed ability on defense, another pilot the ability to fire sooner the spend the focus at a later combat phase like you describe.

I like the idea of Decoy as my main hesitation was that I would be out of the Focus for the rest of the turn!

You could bring some tlt's or an ordinance ship like a k-wing to boost up.

You could do that, but that'd spend his focus token and strip him of his defensive rerolls.

Personally, I'd pair him with R5-P9.
