Last night I bought and flew my Ghost for the first time. I'm a big fan of the rebels show so wanted a reasonable spread of the characters in my ship. (Shame Sabine will be Scum in the Shadow Caster as far as I can tell).

My list and flying were sub optimal but luckily through your help, I can improve at least one of those things!

Hera in attack shuttle

Dorsal Turret

Phantom

(I thought after the game Chopper should be in here).

Kanan Jarrus in VCX-100

Dorsal Turret

Zeb Orrelios

Chopper

Ghost

Poe in T-70 X wing

BB8.

The list I played against was 3 imperial vets, Vader, Inquisitor and Soontir Fell in his Interceptor. Very nearly a flavour match!

To the game itself, he had all the toys on his ships so they were spinning round me, lucky I had turrets. Please note they are the only turrets I own.

The phantom died pretty much in the turn it left the ghost as somehow I had managed to fly it into the jaws of all three aces. Poe lasted longer but mainly because I swung him out long to turn back in behind.

The Ghost did kill Vader and should have killed Fel but for some woeful rolling, alongside good evade rolls. All in all a fun game that for a touch of list tweaking cold have been more successful.

In terms of tweaking I mean upgrades for those three and pilot choices as I only own those models in Rebels. (I have a reasonable imperial force).

Thanks for looking.

It's a nice flavorful list with 4 of the 6 main heroic characters from REBELS.

Kanan Jarrus isn't doing a ton of work for your list. If you replace him with a generic Lothal Rebel, you free up 3 points. You can spend 2 of those on Fire Control System for your Ghost.

You then have 1 point left to spend. Some options:

• Change BB-8 to R5-P9.
• Add Nien Nunb to Hera's shuttle (adds 2 green maneuvers to her dial).
• Drop Zeb from the Ghost, and change the shuttle to Sabine Wren + Push the Limit + Kanan Jarrus + Phantom.

Alternatively, if you take Poe out of your build you have tons of options. Leave Kanan flying the Ghost, but add Tactical Jammer. Replace Poe with Biggs. Replace Chopper or Zeb with Recon Specialist.

Other option is to drop to Chopper in the Ghost:

Ghost

- Accuracy Correcter

- Autoblaster Turret

- Hera

- Title

Zeb

- Autoblaster Turret

- Title

Poe

- RP-59 or R2D2

- Auto Thrusters

- Adaptability +1 PS

I used to fly Kanan lots, but have come to favor the Chopper/Hera combo more. I love stressing for days with continual K-Turns and red moves. Give up the idea of actions for positioning the big guns.

Kanan = defensive

Chopper = offensive

Choose preferred play style.

Great against aces in dealing out stress and 4 hits that can't be cancelled. When Soontir sees this he sulks in the corner and hisses at Chopper.

Chopper goes in fast and rams and get's into R1 to ABAC while Poe flys the flanks. Deploy shuttle at most opportune time, but actually try and keep it docked.

I have had the most success with a cheap and cheerful Lothal Rebel build. It hits like a ton of bricks, has a pile of hits points, can pull crazy reds all day long with Hera crew and still leaves you plenty of points for other stuff. This is my current Ghost-Poe list.

42 Lothal Rebel (35), Hera (1), Han Solo (2), FCS (2), Autoblaster turret (2), Ghost Title (0)

21 Ezra (20), Rage (1), Phantom Title (0)

37 Poe Dameron (31), VI (1), R5-P9 (3), Autothrusters (2)

Unless you are flying Kanan/Biggs, I find the Ghost normally dies at some point so I like to spend a few extra points to make the Attack Shuttle useful. I rather like Raging Ezra. Although Rage is likely to be a one-shot deal, the stress will keep him alive for longer. If you want a few extra upgrades on the Ghost you could always drop down to a naked Zeb (sorry for that mental image ).

Poe gives you a great PS10 ace who can regen and tangle effectively with opposing Fels and Whispers. This list is pretty solid and effective. Even U-boats will not be able to take down both your big ships before their ordnance runs out at which point the advantage shifts in your favour.

If you are wanting a strong build with kanan go simple and effective. You want sensor jammer along with a recon specialist for a turret try something to gender the enemy since you get a free shot with the titles.

Use Sabine with katarn and push the limit for bb8 style shenanigans, maybe engine upgrade on the shuttle too.

The other ship is your choice, but remember, the ghost will die to concentrated fire and it will die quickly. Maybe something like corran to make your opponent have to choose between 2 threats.

Sounds like you do not have the option for the coolest rebel crew, if you only own TFA and vcx expansion.

I would suggest buffing up poe, give him ptl +BB-8 + autothrusters. Drop the ghost down to chopper, and the shuttle as well.

You could go down to lothal rebel if you want more rebels characters in your list. Have fun!
