Not sure why this didn't occur to me when they dropped but Ten Numb and GC? You sir, are genius.

I completely agree with the sentiment. GC on him turns one attack with Ion Pulse to a Crit. It auto goes through. No matter who you shoot at, they are Ionized!

You know, you put Veteran Instinct on him and he's PS 10. That's fantastic. You would be able to Ionize Soontir Fel as long as you can get him in arc, which shouldn't be too horrible going at PS 10.

If you are able to Ionize anyone, you can probably set them up for bumpage the next turn and lay into them. Just imagine Soontir Fel getting no actions and being taken down so easy. Then again, you just Ionize him and his range of where he will be next turn is pretty low. Ten Numb can just fire another Ion at him and get another damage auto hits. That puts Soontir Fel at 1 hull point and you know where he's going to be. Makes it pretty easy for that Mangler Cannon. Man....you can kill Soontir Fel in 3 turns alone!

Would go nicely with Stresshog too - Ion + Stress is a lethal combination for any ship not equipped with an R2 or Nien Numb

maybe cover your bases and combine the two with Blount + IPM to auto-ion any large ships you might end up facing

Ibtisam, wired, hera crew is solid and cheaper than keyan.

I flew him with biggs and draw their fire poe (r5p9, integrated)

im stealing that Keyan build. I love bumpership strats, im consistently trying to find ones outside the obvious Oicunn. Hell, i got one right now with a Falcon rofl.

Beauty to that keyan build is it plays into the dial. AS to evade/targetlock then 4fwd/1hard/2k into the target, bump, stressed, pilot ability ftw.

I have been flying Ten with HLC with Calculation and FCS. Being able to push a crit through from a HLC is pretty fun.

I was thinking Rage and Kanan on Farlander, but I like engine upgrade on him much more. But I might have to try it once.

2 points cheaper, open dial, easy to keep her ability active.

Erza also add a bit of a wonky play. It conflicts with Keyan's ability, no Hera to stack the stress, and unless its Keyan keeping a bwing stressed is really, really bad.

I find it difficult to use anyone but keyan because of that. I somehow always end up stressed with bwings lol but Keyan doesnt care.

Though i thought about using Ten Numb with Mangler Cannon and Merc Copilot lol. Regardless of range, theres a crit involved.

Stick Keyan with Stay on target and Navigator...oh my...he is anywhere he wants to be. With a stress to boot.

I ve tried this one too. Good against low PS but not as good against anything that moves after him.

Heh, didn't read that far down, only the first three I really looked at.

But my Ezra build is different anyway.

Just want to echo your Ten Numb idea as being genius!

Ah. I put autothrusters on Jake becuase it's an auto include these days.

Ezra is better on Ibtisam, Ibtisam rerolls when stressed, so does Ezra, I think that wired is to much of the same with only 1 evade dice.

poor Ibs is so overpriced

that's the problem with the character Bs, they have a baffling price LEAP over their generics. I guess FFG was still terrified of 8 health 1 agi having epts (hence the poor Ys not getting any 2 waves prior )

here, let's follow the normalish +2 points for +2 ps:

Dagger squaddie @ 24 means Ibsy should've been 26...and Ten 28 (what the hell is 31 points, FFG!? guess he had to be consistently overpriced with rhymer from the same wave)

keyan isn't as badly off (should be 27) and Nera is about the least overpriced (should be 25) but she needs more points to even use her ability

This is my Keyan I've been using lately

Means he can go where ever he pleases and if he rolls 4 hits instead of 3 and a Focus, he can still go where ever next turn (thanks to Hera)

He can start to stack up stress, but surely the dice will help with a Focus eventually? Right? stupid dice

Getting rid of the stress after combat but before the next activation is the issue thou

Something tells me you got Keyans ability wrong. You can remove the stress even if you rolled all blanks, right?

Yes, you can. Directly mentioned in the FAQ.

Wait, so you can spent the Stress to turn Focus to hits, even though you didn't roll any Focus?

That feels dirty.

But hey, if thems the rules, I'll take it. Sorry Hera, looks like Jan just got your seat

Thanks for pointing that out, I did not know that

I feel like the Dagger Squadron Pilot is currently the best B-Wing option. Throwing points on a B-Wing with so many alpha strike lists around is risky as hell. But a naked Dagger Squadron is great filler, and the 4 PS really matters in this meta with all its 3PS ships.

And there it stroke me while I was in the train commuting to work.

If you manage to miss the first attack, you roll a second one and clear two stresses in one turn!!!
