Hi,
I'm struggling to come up with a Ghost build that I can use in the next store tournament. The thing is: I love flying Ghost and I'm really trying to get the must from this beautiful beast. At the same time, I want to try something new. That's why I'm parrying Ghost with a HWK, I flew a couple of matches with those two together already. And, yes, that sounds terrible, but see if you guys can get the ideia:
Defensive Ghost (100 pts)
Kanan Jarrus (49) VCX-100 (38), Ghost (0), Accuracy Corrector (3), Autoblaster Turret (2), "Chopper" (0), Lando Calrissian (3), Experimental Interface (3)
“Zeb” Orrelios (18) Attack Shuttle (18), Phantom (0)
Jan Ors (33) HWK-290 (25), Squad Leader (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)
Offensive Ghost (97 ppts)
Kanan Jarrus (46) VCX-100 (38), Ghost (0), Fire-Control System (2), Dorsal Turret (3), "Chopper" (0), Recon Specialist (3)
“Zeb” Orrelios (18) Attack Shuttle (18), Phantom (0)
Jan Ors (33) HWK-290 (25), Squad Leader (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)
In the Defensive build, I try to take advantage of the Accuracy Corrector + Autoblaster to get closer to the enemies and launch a 100% sure 4-hit damage per turn at range 1. Its enough to take down Aces. And even without using it every turn, it will make the opponent more afraid to come closer – what will help Kanan ability ti be always helpful. Also, Lando + Experimental Interface gives me opportunity for some Evades – and also some Focus with Squad Leader help.
The Offensive build is all about hitting with 5 attack dices always with target lock (FCS). A lot of damage, and less time to make sure enemies will go down before Ghost is too many damaged to proceed. Dorsal Turret enables more frequent attacks and Recon Specialist guarantee enough Focus for Attack and Defense. And, yes, this build has 3 points available, that I think on spend in some modification for Ghost, but I would like to hear from you as well.
I know that some of you may suggest to drop the HWK and use an Ace instead. I see some lists using Biggs, T-70 and even a A-Wing. I'm not saying that I'll not go that way, but I really want your opinions on those other options.
