Won a small local tourney 3-0 with this yesterday, taking inspiration from the "Jukes of Hazzard" list I saw here the other day

"Duck, Duck, Juke"

Glaive Squadron Pilot — TIE Defender 34 Juke 2 Stealth Device 3 TIE/x7 -2 Ship Total: 37

Countess Ryad — TIE Defender 34 Juke 2 Stealth Device 3 TIE/x7 -2 Ship Total: 37

"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 21 Juke 2 Comm Relay 3 Ship Total: 26

the x7 title and stealth device makes for hilariously hard to hurt ships, and Countess Ryad's ability is just the bomb. OL is nice to have that high-ish PS out there to keep opponents on their toes.

Congrats on the win. I like the list. Looks like fun.

Did you come up against any lists that specifically caused you issues? What about things like crack swarms or U boats? Any of those? Love the list,though I'm still not sure how I feel about Juke

I played a game with a similar list this weekend and it did well.

Countess with PTL, Stealth Device and X7

Vessery with Adaptability, Stealth Device and X7

Omega with Juke and Comm Relay.

Almost the same list as you.

With Adaptability I dropped Vesseries PS to 5 so both defenders had the same PS that allowed me to move and shoot in any order.

First round was against a Palp aces type list with ryad, Fel and a basic shuttle with palp and not much else. I focused down the shuttle, closed on Fel and killed him, then jousted with Ryad until she died. I lost OL and Ryad.

Second round against a rebel list with mostly naked Poe, Garvin, and a PS 2 T-70 and PS 1 A-wing. Outjousted the aces and cleaned up the other two, lost OL again (to some just atrocious rolls against a target locked Poe) and the Glaive pilot this time.

Third round was the one that caused me the most worry: against two U-Boats and Kavil. I lost OL and Ryad pretty early on, but they had worn down Kavil and one of the Uboats, and I was able to box Kavil into a corner, then take out the remaining U-Boat.

I could see swarm lists being a problem, though they aren't throwing that many dice at a time at my ships with high evade pools. I think I can counter the triple Uboats fairly well, with this many evade dice/tokens and general durability my hope is that they'll use up their torps trying to get one ship down. The other list I worry about is one with a combo of Vader, Palp, and Wampa. That can force a lot of unavoidable damage through, and I'm not sure I have the damage output to burn through a Decimator in time.

I like Juke because it tends to force a lot of uncomfortable focus-spending decisions on my opponent. Usually a decent shielded ship can afford to take one damage to save their focus token for their shooting, but if I make them take 2, that can change the calculus. I'm certainly willing to entertain other opinions though.
