Short answer: kill Stresshog, kill Poe, win game. Don't be afraid to take potshots at the two grunts if the opportunity arises, but keep your focus on the real threats.


Longer answer:


Don't avoid the Stresshog; go after it first and kill it with extreme prejudice. As far as you're concerned, it's Public Enemy #1 and needs to die ASAP. Fortunately it's just a 1-agility Y-wing, so with the HLCs you should kill it in two rounds every time. The key is timing the approach so you can get both Bots shooting it twice.


After that, the next priority is Poe. He's the only real finisher in the opposing squad, so once he goes it's just a matter of cleaning up the B-wing and Z-95. Nothing really tricky involved here: just line the Bots up on him and brute force your way through. Try to use the Crack Shots together to ensure you punch through maximum damage and lock Poe on the defensive.

Also his build swapped out the mech and vi for r2d2. Was my suggestion. And thx dr4co!

Initial engagement should be at range three with your cannons. You get 3-4 defense dice and he doesn't against your cannons. Next round you can get into range one and prevent the stresshog from double proc-ing. Target priorities are Stresshog, Poe then the others like mentioned above. Save crackshots for Poe to punch through shields into unhealable hull.

If it's really your first time flying Brobots you'll probably lose. Try to slow roll with those big bases and fixed arcs will be difficult. He'll have more guns on you and more hit points.

My personal tactic would be to bum rush Poe. Try to use one of your ships as bait for the stressbot but positioned so that it can run. Once his Y is double-stressed he's essentially out of commission and no longer a serious concern. One of your bots, double stressed, still has enough greens to clear and run.
