I think this is legal but I'd like verification. With Swarm Tactics on Cracken and Blount and Garnet's ability to boost a pilot skill to 12, can I have Roark boost Cracken to 12, who then uses ST to boost Blount to 12, who then uses ST to boost Roark to 12?

Roark's ability and ST both trigger at the start of combat so I can pick the sequence. It just seems strange that the sequence of abilities ends up with the pilot that started it. My track record interpreting cards and effects is not good so I'd like another opinion(s).

Yes, you can use Roark to chain PS 12 with Swarm Tactics and Decoy (if for some reason you're using Decoy) even back to himself.

Plenty of reasons to Decoy. Its R 1-2, and can lower your own PS if you wish.

Never gave Decoy a thought. I have to rethink this. Thanks!

Oh yeah, it is range 1-2.

I've though of some other stuff. Maybe give Maarek a low PS and use a bunch of academies to fire before him and then lay on a crit?
