Its the double bump Oicunn list. Rebel Captive is to discourage those shots when you bump, and ysanne is a must, since you will have stress often if you mix it up. With EU, you don't get damage from Daredevil, but still get stressed, and can use Daredevil to nip other ships you're nearby. Main issue is lack of passive attack modification, so won't get the best damage output from Oicunn here. Also, be careful as the stress can negate ysanne. Might be better to switch Ysanne out for something else? Not sure what, because it'll need some survivability.


Two Advanced with Accuracy corrector means you don't care what you roll to hit, so you can Evade or Barrel Roll each turn, making the Advanced pretty tanky.


The idea here, as I see it, is to use the Advanced as primary tanks and FLANK with the Decimator...using EU and its crazy 3 maneuvers. You cant fly straight into the guns with Oicunn or you won't last too long.


One way I flew him was hard at the enemy, and boosted where I actually overshot them and came around. Worked ok, except many foes can shoot you on the approach then K Turn. The Advanced dont' have a big enough punch to be truly threatening.


Also, the Title shenanigans got nerfed in the new rules, so no more green move bump, title, daredevil, bump, stress, stress, remove stress, with 1 remaining. Now you'll end up with both stress, making it a little hard for the double bump to be truly effective. I feel like that would only be really good if you could bump an Interceptor or the like, otherwise, I'd try to bump once, either on the initial move and use title to TARGET LOCK, or just miss the bump and daredevil into them.


Was thinkin switching our Ysanne for Jajerrod and upgrading the Advanced to Advanced Targeting.


What do you think?


EDIT: accidentally put shield upgrade instead of EU

Could someone explain this to me, please? Seems like she's a passive ability without a stress check clause, right? What have I missed?

Ysanne gives you a free evade token at the BEGINNING of the Combat phase regardless of the Decimator pilot skill of course if the requirements are met. If you're stressed Ysanne doesn't care.

At the start of the Combat phase, if you have no shields and at least 1 Damagecard assigned to your ship, you may perform a free evade action.

Ohhhh, she allows you to perform a free evade action - which does check for stress, right? Aren't you prohibited from taking even free actions if you're stressed?

EDIT: So if she just gave you an evade token, she wouldn't care if you're stressed, but since she's giving you a free action, she does care. Am I getting that right?

Isard cant trigger if youre stressed, and with daunt daredevil you're double stressed.

Not only that, but the new rulebook gimped dauntless (because before if you revealed a green move, you could remove the stress from dauntless right away). But now due to the changes in the new rulebook you can't do that anymore :(

Oh crap, good call! Man, so is this Oicunn build just not worth it anymore?
