Youngster expose howlrunner swarm?

You're very slightly beating Howlrunner+Focus in exchange for the defensive penalty of one dice AND not having focus.

He doesn't work on interceptors.

Youngster doesn't pass to interceptors

Bah, you're right. Oops.

It would work with tie advanced, but it seems like youngster is a bit if a dead end.

It doesn't work on the TIE advanced, either. Youngster only works on Tie Fighters and Tie/FOs.

His weakness is mostly the weakness of the action-header EPTs.

Is there something to be said for Expert Handling - ie - barrel Rolling to lose a TL? Could be huge in a missile/torpedo ladden meta. Im well aware that we have yet to see that , but it could br helpful too in preventing HLC dmg. Thoughts?

If you're using academies, they'll generally get to TL after you do your action so it's not a huge advantage.

Exposing you gster actually fits much better with fo's than ln's. Firstly, the extra shield means getting one shorted is far more unlikely even with the 2 agility and secondly a fo that can bank a TL from a previous round is in a great position to expose himself. Doubly so if he can grab the TL at range 3 and then move into range 1 before he whips his pants down and yells 'surprise!!'

So much situational, barely there benefit on a 20 point Tie fighter

Crackrunner is cheaper and always more useful

Expose youngster, and youngster in general till we get some solid epts for once, is pure jank
