Something just occured for me, Leading shots is not restricted to be used against ships only.

So any ship with two blue dice as Anti squad armament can benefit from it, in case you roll two accuracies and or crits, you can remove one blue die and have a go again with the other.

After all one hit is better than no hits

Welcome to the all around greatness that is leading shots

Leading shots, Point Defense Reroute and Quad Laser Turrets all might bear a new look at with the advent of B-wing swarms in wave 4.

Advent of B-Wing swarms in wave 4?!

/Slips into old man persona

Some of us won Regionals with B-Wings in wave 2 sonny!

I would say Leading shots, Quad Laser Turrets, Agent Kallus. PDR is as bad in Wave4 as it was bad in Wave2 (I tried it and it just doesn't give enough damage bump for the points).

Captain Obvious here! It can also be used with a blue and black armament. Again, obviously at close range.

Yes, you've highlighted a great benefit of Leading Shots. Since you're primarily taking LS to buff your main attack, any extra rerolls on AS attacks is an added benefit. That's just something you have to remember that you can do when you're at the table playing.

It was already evident during the Regional Season and certainly by GenCon that squads were a big part of the wave-2 meta. I think the opening phases of wave 3-4 is showing us that lots of squads are here to stay. So you absolutely have to have a counter to them. The other ship upgrades were raised.

QLT is looking better by the day, especially against Intel builds that just want to shoot your ships.

PDR can hit the dustbin.

Kallus and especially Toryn add a lot to the AS side of the game.

And PDR.. it makes a blue die (50% hit chance) into something worse than black die (67% hit chance with black at 75%) for 5 points and offensive slot. So QLT is better for same points. The only ship that can take both is ISD1 and usually 5 points can go a long way to boost it's firepower via different means.

PDR is one of the truly bad upgrades out there. Worse even than Cluster Bombs. Maybe.

At least clusters have a chance on MC30s (or VIP corvettes).

Cluster Bombs are much easier to get your return on investment. You'd have to take 12 two blue PDR shots to equal it, which perhaps shows much more clearly why PDR needs to hit the dustbin. You'd still need 6 QLT shots to equal the expected damage of CB, and if anything, there's probably a bigger benefit to being able to do all of the damage up front on a single lucrative target that can then be eliminated with AS fire. The other big key is to take them on a ship that really will be shot at (MC30s, or maybe the second defensive retrofit on an MC80 Assault) and have some means to eliminate the squad damaged by CB.

The real problem with cluster bombs is they only come in home one expansion so its hard to have the multiple copies required to make them work!
