Fun With: Hera Syndulla (Crew)

By BRAINJACKALexe, in X-Wing

Hello again, today I wanna look at the Hera Syndulla Crew. It reads "You can execute red maneuvers even while you are stressed. REBEL ONLY". It's nothing game breaking, and it does not really jump out to go with any ship. Except for one build...

Keyan Farlander (35) - B-Wing

Stay On Target (2), Fire Control System (2), B-Wing/E2 (1), Hera Syndulla (1)

That's right, the old Keyan Sot build. The big change here is that instead of having IA to know your opponent's movements, you can use Hera to be risky and very aggressive. Basically you can always use Sot, even if you spent the stress or not. Is this competitive? Pfff... No. Is it fun to fly? You bet it is! It is slightly cheaper than the usual sot Keyan list, but will get you roughly the same result. Is it as good? Probably not, but the pressure you can put on your enemies is ridiculous!

Just wanted to share this silly little build and see your thoughts on it. I wanna hear what other uses you have for the Hera Crew now that Wave 8 is right around the corner.

None, I hunt filthy Rebels and their doggon plot armor.

Mwahaha.

In all seriousness Hera Syndullenwjgnghnrgoiuhrg is going to be an extremely interesting crew choice, considering she doesn't stop the stress from piling on and you don't get any actions. I'm wondering if anyone will use her outside the attack shuttle and B Wings, I can maybe see her being used on a HWK so that it can run away easier while still being a support ship, but no actions is going to hurt.

Doesn't stand out ey?

Wait till FCS vcxs with Hera and maybe Ezra (crew)

I'm still waiting to see a really good use for her, but I just don't know. There are a lot of good crew out there, and it's not as if you don't suffer the effects of stress, you're just allowed to pile them up. I guess it's good if you're stressed but just needs to K-turn.

also good if you don't need actions

hence, VCX with FCS and ezra (Crew)

5k for eternity, make defenders jealous

all for one more point than a naked Patrol Leader, which has a PWT but moves like a dried turd in comparison

Ibbi + Hera + Predator... nothing fancy but you'll be able to re-roll half or more of your dice every turn.

I like her riding shotgun with "Chopper" w/FCS, Zeb, ion projector, turret, and a docked Phantom. Oh noes, I'm getting stressed! But the enemy is then more likely to still be helplessly slapping into me and also getting stressed and ioned and torn apart by my bigger guns...

Exactly this build I want to try first I get Ghost (without docked Phantom maybe).

Realised today that Zeb allows you to fire with turret if enemy ship rams in you rear arc.

At least she's insurance for never having to hand your dial to your opponent.

There are crit card in new damage deck that can force you to. I suffered once :(

I like it. You don't need the actions for offense, but without the ability to barrel roll, pretty much ever, even SOT will not get you out of arcs for long... and then you're a 35 point 1 agility die target.

Still, looks like its worth a try.
