I'm going to be playing the Rebels for the first time in the Bespin Gambit! I want to play Davith, because he's new. I'm going to play *one* other character with him, and I want it to be one of these guys (haven't seen them in action much):

Gideon

Saska

MHD-19

Murne-Rin

Now, from my understanding these are all support characters... so this might be a bad idea. That being said, if Davith and one of those is a terrible idea, then I'd pick from one of these:

Mak

Loku

Verena

Biv

Verena and Biv are barely in there, and I've seen the other heroes in action too much to want to use them (including Finn).

I want to see Murne-Rin and Verena, if only to have them tag-team take down an elite squad of troopers with their own weapons...

Im not a big fan of the 2 hero rule, I say just play with 4, but if you insist I think Saska and Davith would be interesting. Lots of surge potential with those 2.

Not MHD-19, not enough offense to kill anthing

Gideon would work if you make him an attacker (Hammer and Anvil, Military Efficiency, Called Shot). I did this one time and had the DXR-6, ended up being very effective at killing enemies.

Dont know anything about Murne yet....but she does look like she will actually be fun to play a support character, since she actually gets to roll dice.

Mak is always awesome, best hero in the game IMO

Loku is tough, I would stay away from him here, not enough action economy to provide any real value with only 2 of you

Verena = great, Biv = great = but both are melee and i think your squad would suffer from all melee, ranged attacking is generally better in this game for flexibility and movement use. Gaarkhan I would say would be fine since he plays like a ranged character with Charge ability.

I don't think using Gideon or MHd in a 2 hero comp is viable, they just don't do enough on their own if you ever need to split up. Saska and Murne both like to stay together as well but I think they're independent enough to be okay. I'd favour Murne just cause she's tankier.

Verena or Biv.

Evidently my opponent took a different approach than yours. With offensive overdrive (or whatever) and the focus every other round, he is slaughtering me with a stun baton with a balanced hilt!

I just finished Return to Hoth today. I would have wone if it wasn't for that stupid droid! Built the right way he is one of the most frightening characters in the game!

I've been playing with MHD and Diala, while the other rebel player is using Loku and Verena.

Davith and MHD would be my pick. Though if you're the only rebel player I say just use 4 heroes and try not to forget abilities.

Hmmm... no way I'm running four heroes. Too much to think of.

I played Davith and Gideon and it worked VERY well, especially with Lando in the mix.

I played a brutal combination of Murne and Gideon. Giving Murne the T21 and having Gideon Command her to attack twice with Masterstroke is deadly. Put on top of that Murne's ability to False Order a figure with an individual cost =< Current Threat is brutal. I held an entire hallway vs. maybe 8 figures with just those two and the Imp. player had to keep reinforcing them just to keep me from cascading through.

Murne has a couple abilities that seem like they'd be even better in a 2 hero game e.g. "Lead From The Front." Gideon is just flat out good, but he's a power multiplier and as Davith isn't a super heavy hitter it wouldn't be an ideal combo. MHD-19 is also pretty strong but probably better with 4 characters. Of the 4 Saska is the weakest but would probably compliment Davith the best.
