Heading to the CAC tournament this weekend and I'm feeling pretty confident about my list. Figured it couldn't hurt to run it through the crucible a bit and see what kind of feedback y'all might drum up. So far I'm a combined 8-2 with some variation of the following:

99 Points

- [35] Drea Renthal (22) + Proton Torpedoes (4) + Twin Laser Turret (6) + R4-B11 (3) + Guidance Chips (0)

- [34] Palob Godalhi (20) + Opportunist (4) + Blaster Turret (4) + K4 Security Droid (3) + Moldy Crow (3)

- [30] 4-LOM (27) + Adaptability (0) + Zuckuss (1) + Fire Control System (2)

Battle plan:

I set up 'roids in a loose but centered blob. I set up in the right corner (either would do) in a tight formation - Palob, front-left, Drea, front-right, 4-LOM, back-right. I slow roll to build up Focus on Palob. A combination of Palob's ability and 4-LOM firing first should strip tokens off of one or more targets. Palob and Drea then nuke one or more targets off the board.

Thoughts:

I currently have a one-point initiative bid so I can shoot first in the rare instance there's another PS5 on the board (Biggs, Nera, Chewie, Kanan) but that one-point could also be used to put the Title and Tractor Beam on 4-LOM. I lose out on damage output put it might help to confuse target priority and allow my guys to survive the first few rounds of firing (by putting a lower PS ship on a rock).

It seems decent enough. I would want to have cloaking device on Palob, since he benefits a lot from greater mobility, especially on that turn when shooting begins. You 'd need a point somewhere to make it happen (possibly change proton torps to plasma?). If you aren't keen on that idea, I would at least go with tractor beam on 4-LOM (more for the barrel roll ability than from actually needing tractor, although it might prove useful on occasion).

Funny name! I like it.

That was my initial thought, because of his ability I would want to keep 4-LOM in R1 whenever possible and a BR would do the trick.

Gonna go with a funny suggestion here:

Maybe switching the turret on Drea to shave points? If anything gets into her R1, she's stuck. Might as well make her a bit more flexible. I do get if you're not into that, though.

Other than that, I'm gonna echo the "get Cloaking on Palob" argument here. He becomes a totally different beast.

Personally not a huge fan of the torpedo on Drea. Lose that and you have 5 points to work with. You can get the aforementioned title/Bean on 4-LOM and Cloaking Device on Palob. That leaves 2 points which can get you Glitterstim on 4-LOM, which gives you another way to stress him, plus combined with FCS can give you a fully-modified attack even after barrel-rolling.
