Wave 5

By Cubanboy, in Star Wars: Armada

Wave 5 looks really good. I want it now. I'd be willing to wait on waves 3 and 4, just to get wave 5 now.

Gotta ride that Rebels hype.

You know who else is coming to Rebels? THRAWNNNNNNNNNNN

and all by Christmas....hopefully (Q4 2016)

ARMADA IS DEAD THEY SAID

THEY RELEASE EXPANSIONS TOO SLOW THEY SAID

THERE'S NO WAY THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING THE GAME THEY SAID

Add interdoctors into the mix and they can just take that on shields all day long!

Can anyone make out the icons on the fighter bases?

It looks like to me:

Phantom 4 hull, cloak

Decimator 8 hull rogue, counter 1, heavy

Lambda 6 hull heavy, relay 2, strategic

Defender 6 hull bomber

E-wing 5 hull bomber, snipe

Z-95 3 hull swarm

Ghost 8 hull, hera is rogue/grants 2 fighters rogue, genero is heavy relay 1 strategic

Shadowcaster 4 hull grit bomber rogue

Lots of fighters on wrong bases on the twitter*

*Edited because I didn't see the article before!

Arquitens: Imperial broadside Neb! Is this the flank guard we've been looking for? If it can take EA... ouch!

Pelta: rebel black dice! Glad I up front... wonder if it will take ordnance/wonder what the SQD value will be. New escort carrier?

My mind is fizzing at all the tactical thoughts. . . If that Phoenix Home does have the "Rapid Launch" card and it does allow you to launch squadrons that you have set aside. . . tht could be so much fun!

It looks like to me:

Phantom 4 hull, no other abilities

Decimator 8 hull rogue, counter

Lambda 6 hull heavy, rogue thinger

Defender 6 hull bomber, something I can't see?

E-wing 5 hull bomber, new ability?

Z-95 3 hull swarm

Ghost 8 hull, hera is rogue/ new ability, genero has new ability, escort, heavy (?)

Shadowcaster 4 hull new ability something I Can't see(?)

Snipe allows E-Wings to shoot at Distance 2 aganst Squadrons, but only with Blue Dice equal to their Snipe Value

Phantom's have Cloak!

The circle is now complete. I have my Arquitens and Pelta-Class ships. Gentlemen, let me be the first to say these words:

Armada is dead! (Admiral Nelson 2016)

What's the upgrade type on what looks like 'entrapment' on the Phoenix Home?

Edited by Mikael Hasselstein

relay...snipe...strategic...new commands on sqn cards.

You forgot Cloak on the Phantom!

I love it when I'm wrong!!!!

I can say now that both the Pelta and the Light Cruiser are speed 3. We can see the speed 4 boxes and they are black.

It seems Fighter Coordination Teams is coming in the Pelta as well

Well, I guess I'm done working for the day

Commander Sato looks insane. Liberty Star cruiser with SW7 and a squad in range 1 is 6 auto damage and one red dice... holy mackeral

Well, I guess I'm done working for the day

Same thing happened to me, man!

Pretty much.

Dear FFG,

Why do you do this to me?

I have $%#* to do. I have yet to figure out Wave 3 and 4! I have two children in school!

Sincerely yours,

CNinja

(who am I kidding? Bring it FFG! Bring it!)

Just a few things I noticed;

1. As dras said, Jerrjerrod plus Vic

2. Imperial TRC platform

3. Commander Sato with the Pelta or MC30 scout means ordinance crits at red range.

4. Hera Syndulla looks amazing. Wow.

5. Rebels are getting a nonheavy rogue/bomber, with grit tossed on. Wanna see the reat of the numbers.

6. Corran horn! Rogue/bomber dogfighter! Anything this guy cannot do?

7. That decimator ace looks interesting.

8. Fighter Coordination teams repackaged already. Thank you FFG.

9. The punisher ace looks to be able to gurantee a crit.

10. Cloak is gonna be such a pain in the petoot.

11. Z95's plus Toryn Farr?

I love it when I'm wrong!!!!

Me too! I did not expect wave 5 this soon! I am happy that most of my predictions were spot on.

I was 1 expansion short though. I thought there would be 1 more Imperial.
