Played this Rieekan list yesterday

By GIJosef, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

So with a few n00b blunders with this list, I was very happy with how it all worked. It's a pure finesse list, that's for sure. But the squadrons with Gallant Haven are close to indestructible. Didn't lose one of these guys all game, my opponent basically gave up on trying to shoot them down. My only complaint is Nym....his ability out of 4 rounds of firing never kicked in. Those dang crits on a blue die are scarce in my hands....

Fleet created with Armada Warlords

If you're running two resilient ships, and Gallant Haven, is Rieekan your best admiral? He's expensive and you shouldn't take many losses with this list.

My two cents. If you drop the Neb B with redemption and Nym, you can take either a decked out MC30 or two Corvette A's with TRC for mobility and increased activation count.

I would also put Rieeken on the AFii at a minimum, since it will survive a lot longer than the Neb B. If you do keep the NEB B, I would maybe not take Projection Experts on it, since it has so few shields anyway, unless you plan on spamming eng. commands. I do like it over all though. Rieeken is one that I am experimenting with in my fleets as well.

I see why he has Rieekan on the Neb: Gallant Haven wants to be up in the ****, so he's planning on keeping Redemption at range, away from the action, which probably makes it a pretty good place for the admiral if he doesn't make the suggested changes. If he does swap it out for an MC30, yeah, the AF2 is probably the better spot for it; if he goes for the CR90 build, one of those might be a safer place for him if you play it right.
