What are some of your favorite Attack Shuttle builds?
Anyone here like the Attack Shuttle?
Ezra and PTL if you want cheap.
Ezra, Rage, Dorsal Turret
Sabine and PTL
Those are some that I've enjoyed.
Never played with it - but played against it a couple of times earlier this week and really liked it. I'm wondering about borrowing a few from friends (who don't tend to use them) and trying a pure 'Shuttle Service' squad...
Squad builds which I've seen work:
- Sabine Wren - Push The Limit, Kanan Jarrus
Agile as buggery; Sabine can boost then barrel roll and then reveal any green or white move, clear the stress, and snag a focus token on the way past. For what doesn't look like that great a dial at first impression, she's hell to pin down. She does have a low pilot skill, so I'd recommend a turret - that way you can use your ridiculous agility to avoid arcs, and let shooting back attend to itself.
- Hera Syndulla - Veteran Instincts, Chewbacca
Hera's pilot ability is amazing....except PS7 isn't that great. In the Phantom , she has access to an elite pilot talent, pushing her up to Soontir Fel's level - being able to switch from a hard turn one way to the other way to a K-turn on a snap decision at PS9 is Stay On Target on an epic level. Chewbacca takes advantage of it being a fighter with a crew card - turning the ship from a less agile A-wing to the same durability as an Integrated Astromech T-65 X-wing in one go.
- Ezra Bridger - Lone Wolf, Twin Laser Turret, Hera Syndulla, Stealth Device
Not possible to combine with the above, but simply stress yourself on turn 1 and stay stressed. The long reach of the Twin Laser Turret and the attack shuttle's good dial (compared to a HWK or Y-wing, anyway!) makes keeping Lone Wolf range open a breeze, and at long range the agility 3, range bonus, lone wolf reroll and Ezra's own ability combine to make him a genuine bugger to hit.
If you want Hera in the squad by herself, then Push The Limit and Nien Numb or Kyle Katarn works too - just keep stressing and destressing yourself each turn.
Edited by Magnus Grendeladd an autoblaster turret, it's still cheap enough and if your dogfighting, sometimes its better to take a shot behind you instead of in front.
I played against an Ezra with TLT and PTL (might have had Kanan) that was really tough to kill.
"Like" is a strong word.
Sabine PTL and int agent is probably the most fun that little ship could ever possibly provide
"Like" is a strong word.
It looks like someone stuck a couple of q-tips in it's grill.
