I didn't have a chance to mention this on the show as I wasn't present but Mu0n beat 3 2015 regional champions in a row to win the the relegation tournament Sable, MajorJuggler and BMF very impressive.

We should schedule 100 games together, blair. I might win a few here and there if you roll bad a few times.

Thanks bud!

I'm quite liking the look of Rey, not just for her build potential, but also for what she and Dengar represent. I'm glad FFG has recognised the mistake of making turrets able to ignore arc with no disadvantage. Here's a few builds I could come up with:

Fat-Rey:

61 Rey w/ VI, Luke, C3P0, MF (new), Engine.

You don’t have the evade action that Fat-Han/Chewie have, but the rerolls from Reys ability will give you an extra evade every now and then, without the need to spend your action on it. PS10 also lets you threaten PS8-9 aces well. Luke instead of gunner allows you to have a pseudo focus even after you’ve K-turned or S-looped.

Budget Rey:

50 Rey w/ Wired, Hera, Ezra.

Technically doesn’t fit the challenge, as no title, but I like this as a cheap Rey build. You’re getting rerolls on almost everything, and a free focus to crit change when attacking. Also, you can 3-4 K-turn for days!

Wily Rey:

61 Rey w/ VI, Luke, Kanan, MF (new), Engine.

This is an even more annoying version of Rey. Between the white 3 bank, the white 3 S-loop, and boost this ship can end up in several places. At PS10 your opponent will just have to guess and hope they get it right. Although you can perform actions after the S-loop, I still like Luke in this build as he allows you to boost and still deal damage effectively.

lots of cool build options for Rey.

Man, disagree. You're a terror and have a really good feel for timing of an attack.
