hey guys,
so the Imp Vets have given us a lot of much needed defender love, but I for one am a bit more excited for this new (and finally appropriately price) bomber ace
Toman...Tomam? w.e Bren's ability allows him to, once per round, reacquire his one-shot ept
now I know there's plenty of one-shot epts ready to be tried, but we're going to ignore them for this thread
this is all about the crack, and getting through those pesky green dice
At 24 points, Bren is at least fairly priced, but with the bomber's frame there will be some issues concerning durability.
For example, consider the following:
Homing Missiles - remove the range 3 bonus and any potential evade
Crackshot - combined with "no evade" essentially dumps the target's agility down by 1 in what is a better version of Wedge's ability
with TL (provided possibly by Long Range Scanners) and focus, you have a very high chance of rolling 4 hits. With Homing + Crackshot, that's a minimum of two damage against the likes of Soontir
Against TLTs, which literally can't cancel any damage against that set-up, it'll straight-up rip the shields off a K or eat into a Y
the problem? 32 points total.
It's not such an issue given that it's quite cheap for what you pay for an ace and you can still outfit quite a list around him, such as triple Juke + Relay Omegas or some variant of Palp Shuttle, but it is when considering that he's just a bomber
so I'll field it to the forums. Would you feel comfortable flying a 32 point bomber, or is the crack missile a task better left to the Gamma Squadron Pilot?
