Torynn Farr Is Really Good

By NPhi, in Star Wars: Armada

Seriously.

She's like a limited Leading Shots that doesn't cost a die, and a Flight Controller that doesn't require a squadron command rolled into one. She makes X-Wing/Jan squadrons more lethal and reliable in brewing up opposing squadrons, or A-Wings even more lethal with their Counter, or B-Wings even more terrorizing to ships. She complements Rebel squadrons so well, to the point that I think she's an auto-include.

Between her buff to squadrons and anti-squadron fire from ships, I see her as a hard counter to Imperial squadrons. Rhymer Balls are gonna chase her ship down nine-times-out-of-ten.

In the ship-to-ship combat game, her contribution is much smaller, but still useful. It makes closing with Rebel ships even more painful for Imperial brawlers. Still not gonna do much against Demolisher, but it may allow you to fish up that Accuracy to stop Brace.

Regardless, I think she's great. The Rebel's Demolisher.

agree she is good but demo good? not even close.

That's a somewhat silly standard to judge things by. ;)

I too can't wait to try Farr out.

The thing about Toryn is she's really going to up the Rebels Anti-Squadron game... Not the Anti-Ship Game so much.

Bombing Wise, she's only helping out B-Wings and H9s... And honestly, if they need help, its probably coming from Bomber Command, because its the Black Die you want to Shine :D

Am I the only one seeing bombing command as an excuse to let the Y-wings/X-wing swarm hit the table?

With the addition of Bomber Command though, she makes a very good case for X-Wings.

I feel like the hype has gone a bit too Farr...

Ahem. All joking aside, the more blues you have, the more likely she is to matter. Therefore, her application to squadrons is obvious (especially X-Wings and A-Wings), and the X also has synergy with bomber command.

I think it is really those two things combined that could lead to a resurgence of X-Wings on the tabletop, as using them together correctly makes them lethal.

I'm all over X-Wings anyway, so yeah :D

Is toryn Farr also the artwork for Gunnery Teams?
