Hi, all. I'm in an escalation league and we just finished our first round/week at 60 points.

Here's what I flew:

Captain Oicunn

- Darth Vader

Black Squadron Pilot

- Crack Shot

Total: 60 points.

Now it's time to move up to 90 points.

Of my 3 opponents, the one that worries me the most is the other Imperial player who has Chiraneau and Wampa at 60 pts.

I'm considering one of two 90-point builds for the next round and would appreciate advice.

Option 1: Buff up the Deci

Captain Oicunn

- Predator

- Darth Vader

- Gunner

- Rebel Captive

- Engine Upgrade

2x Black Squadron Pilot

- Crack Shot

Option 2: Build up the swarm

Captain Oicunn

- Darth Vader

3x Black Squadron Pilot

- Crack Shot

i feel like more cracksquads would be nice, but wouldnt you only have 3 crack squads at 90. each one being 15 points. adding two would be 30 making it 3x cracks?

You're right. Just 3x BlackCrack.

Edited.

i believe that with maximum Cracksimums would put the Chirp player in a serious bind. assuming he/she adds Isard to Chirp they can either use the evade which you can nullify with crackshot, or not use the evade and allow you to hold on to the crackshot. Just block/blow up chirp and it shouldnt be an issue, as for Wampa... i mean you have vader on Oic, either 1 free crit or 1 free damage... seems simple enough to blow out of the water.

Hmm. I can see what you mean.

Upgrading Oicunn may be inferior to adding more ships with more guns. And swarms do better against stress builds, which I expect from both the Rebel player and Chirp.

Too many points on a Deci just means that I give up more points when it is cut down to 1/2 health (or worse).
