But you can just build these for two points less:

thats true, and Imps are usually squirrelly enough to avoid staying in arc of both juke's. Yeah the lack of effect 0 agility ships does make it a waste of the two points, but at least the token is there for defense. I think its a pretty hard hitting joust list though.

I think it's the novelty of it that I like, definitely for casual play. I'd run it a smaller tournament just for the surprise factor

taking into consideration your feedback, this is probably the better of the two lists.

Interesting build. But those evades won't last likely, thus making juke worthless. Getting them back may be harder than you think.

Agreed, i think i'd have to take longer turning around in order to "reload" the jukes so i can still target lock or focus once i'd get back in the fight. and of course being ps4 i'd have to decide vs Ace's if I just take the damage or spend it and not have the juke.

Juke is a great card, but you do need to build your squadron around it, either by taking lots of it, or by having a way to strip/deny tokens (or both).

Best rebel juke squadrons I've played have been:

34 Sabine w/ Juke, TLT, Jan, Hull.

66 (2x) RSV w/ Juke, Comms, AT.

0 Initiative.

This squad has 4 attacks with Juke to leverage the extra damage. Also those RSVs are quite tough ships and Sabine can arc dodge well enough to avoid heavy fire.

34 Wes w/ VI, BB8, FT, Integrated.

66 (3x) Green w/ PtL, Refit, Test, Juke.

0 Initiative.

This is my Rebel version of the Carnor and Juke-FOs list. Wes strips focus and acts as an ace counter, and the A-wings put the hurt on the tokenless stuff.

As noted here, Wes is going to be a key player in any rebel Juke list. Stripping the focus BEFORE they can use it to block Juke is by far the best option.

If you're set on Juke, Wes and a miniswarm of a-wings with Juke and Crack would probably be vicious.

Thanks CRCL and thespaceinvader, I like the list ideas, and yeah adding Wes to the mix would make it hurt all the more. Going to try a variation today and report back!

Wes is also just good in the meta right now in his own right. There's quite a lot of ordnance and omega leader, which he's very good against.

Juke is good on something that can use gunner, can attack something multiple times, or has some inate dice modifying attack, and has a very high pilot skill, so it can basically bash someone with the evade token then spend it on defense. So far the Attack shuttle and a specific rebel Y wing pilot are my favorites. Oh Horton, R2D6 would love to take a spin in your Y wing today

Jan can be either in a Hwk or a Attack Shuttle with TLT's nearby to get that evade to Horton and to lay on bristling firepower of 4 attacks from 2 ships that all debuff evade dice and have defensive token stacks.
