I'm looking at running this. Maneuverable, tough(ish) and hopefully hard hitting. Thoughts and suggestions? Am I missing anything obvious?

I wish I could fit advanced sensors on etahn but I'd have to drop r5-p9 on poe and at that point I might as well not run him.

Autothrusters on poe are highly recommended

I wouldn't call this hard hitting.

2 attack dice ships are not all that scary, and can be hard to get dmg through high agility ships

Also the low ps could be hard against high ps maneuverable ships

But if you can block well with the awing and keep them alive...

You could add calculation to the a-wings and Poe for that matter and still have 33 points left for your 4th ship.

The goal was to leverage etahns ability whilst still having monuverablity and durability due to green dice and regening shield.

I really really like Etahn but I think he struggles to find room to fit another ace in there and still be able to leverage enough crits.

My winning recipe with Etahn is 3 Z-95s and something in the mid-20s for a 5th ship. The more ships you have, the more crits you do.

I always found etahn better in epic play.

More bang for your buck

Etahn Abaht kills lists without shields and he's one of my favorite pilots.

However, he's fragile.

I never run him without the following build:

Elusiveness

R7 Astromech

Fire Control System

FCS and an R7 means you can force a re-roll on anyone who has you target locked. Tactically, you target lock higher PS ships in the activation phase if you can. If they force you to use your target lock, great (nothing messes with attackers like making them re-roll dice before they can re-roll them). If you use your TL defensively you can acquire a new TL when you fire. If they don't force you to use your TL defensively (they shoot at someone else or miss), then when you fire, you have the option of firing at a lower PS ship in order to acquire a new Target Lock and possibly use that one defensively when the lower PS ships shoot at you. it's a very nice option. Elusiveness enables you a good failsafe should you have get caught without a necessary target lock.

Any list with Abaht relies on his critical capability. A-wings make great additions because of they're flanking ability.

I love Poe, but again, Abaht does best when more shots are flying. He's like Howlrunner in that way. When using fewer ships, you lose his force multiplier.

I run him in a list I call "Abaht's flying circus"

with 2 A-wings just like yours

1 Bandit Z-95

and Airen Crackin Z-95

Crackin shoots high in the order, and he can also help out Etahn Abaht after he shoots with yet another way to get the target lock you need. Cracken is almost always overlookied as a target early.

Abaht has to survive for his ability to be used. He becomes a hated target once people figure out what he can do.

One of the most underrated pilots in the game, I think.

What do people think of etahn with and 3 blue's?

Give etahn r2 to keep him up or vi to move late and get his positioning right with barrel rolls

Weak vs top ps arc dodgers, but should have enough red dice to cause havoc on anythin hull heavy

Arc dodgers are the bane of my existence pretty much. I'm fine at killing Han etc but I'm trying to find something to kill whisper echo etc.

Holy **** this Etahn ship is so good, why isn't it being used in more lists? It's ability is pretty much active at all times even if it's just for himself.

I know, right?! Add onto that an R2D2 or some other way to regenerate shields, with three agility and evade ability and he is really tough to remove! He is probably a little overcosted but I like to see think of him as being an extra special X-Wing with basically a free Mangler cannon, and his sweet ability. Definitely my favourite pilot

I've had a good amount of success recently running him with PtL and BB8. Being able to barrel roll, focus, and evade fur no stress is strong.
