Is there any reliable way to give Manaroo an evade token?

Manaroo's ability lets her pass all focus, TL, and EVADE tokens, but without a natural evade action, I can only see two options to get one. A) Cool Hand, which works ONCE, as you discard it. Or B) IG-88 crew card and Engine Upgrade, alongside IG-88C aggressor, which leaves you without mod or crew slots, and severely limits your options for other ships... Hardly seems worth it, just to pass an evade.

Seems you answered your own question. :)

Push the Limit, IG-88, Unhinged Astromech and Engine Upgrade Manaroo with a Veteran Instincts, Fire Control System, Heavy Laser Cannon, Autothrusters IG-88C is pretty fun and effective. You're limited in who you pass the evade to but 88C is reliably getting two evades, a focus and target lock every turn.

Also, if you run a more than 100pt list then it would be better. I'm thinking epic scum with Dengaroo+IGs...

I was kinda hoping to run her as support for a group of smaller ships, but I guess I'll have to do it without evade...

Sadly, Manaroo, IG-88C, and Fenn Rau just barely fit in a list together. So you can get Rau an Evade, but it ain't pretty. :(

So: Technically, yes.

Practically, no.

Yet.

Nathan Eide ran an IG-88/Manaroo combo at the inaugural Cross Roads Classic in Indiana last month. 50 player tourney with Regional level talent present and he was 3rd after swiss and barely missed out on making the Top 4 on Day 2. He said he was pretty happy with the list.

Manaroo (27)
Cool Hand (1)
K4 Security Droid (3)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)
Experimental Interface (3)

Total: 36

Green > K4 > Focus > Interface > Cargo Chute > Stress > Cool Hand > Evade.

You can now give Fenn Rau 1 x Focus token , 1 x Evade token and 1 x Target Lock token in a single turn. Once only, though.
