R3 Astromech

​'Once per round, when attacking with a primary weapon, you may cancel 1 of your [Focus] results during the "Modify Attack Dice" step to assign 1 evade token to your ship.'

My initial thought is Juke on Wedge and Wes. Anyone have any other thoughts how to use this shiny new toy?

Wes and Wedge with Juke are interesting platforms for R3 - didn't think about those!

If HotR comes with some decent T70 pilots (other than Poe), I think Juke, R3, Comm Relay should be decent.

I like the idea of an R3 on Horton Salm, his reroll ability getting that crucial result is better, plus BTL can be used for increased damage output.

I like the fact that he is generic but that is about all. Does give t-70 pilots other than Red Ace a reason to take Comm Relay. Initial thoughts were bad but we will have to wait and see I think.

True, but that means you're only dealing 1 damage, 2 at range 1

Horton + R3 + TLT + BTL-A4 = roll/re-roll an eye on your primary, turn it into an evade, then take two TLT shots with re-rolls.

Yup, good on Y's with TLT for survivability. I'm curious about 3x Red Vet T-70's with comm relay, juke, IA, and R3. Action would be target locks whenever possible.

Impressive. The Primary weapon shot might as well be used to fish for a focus result, because even two hits isn't that amazing, whereas changing that 2-dice attack into a 60% chance of spawning an evade token is rather more impressive.....especially since it's action and stress independent, and you've got two more bites at the cherry with the turret!
