Yesterday I received my first protectorate, so I decided to list build with it. Attani Mindlink on Manaroo (ManaLink?) is really amazing for Fenn Rau, so here is a very weird list that I'm going to test. I tested something similar yesterday, but I didn't have tactical jammer and it sounds perfect for this squad.

Thoughts? Is M-3A viable like this?

Wouldn't say it isn't viable. Just would require a little practice (and also a switch from stealth to hull on Serissu). Personally i prefer Ol' Terry as Fenn's wingman but that is my preference. Fly on brother and let us know how it does

It worked wonders against Asajj and Dengar.

Fun facts about the list: Manaroo bumps everyone and keeps making target locks and focus. Everyone gets a focus. Fenn Rau can use boost or just get his target lock. Serissu can use target lock, barrel behind manaroo or evade. One of the aces will receive manaroo's focus and TL. Manaroo is protected by Serissu and gets a focus back from mindlink. If Serissu receives it, it's going to have 2 focus tokens, TL and evade. If Rau receives (that R1 shot), 5 attack dice, 2 focus, TL (assuming he boosted to R1). And manaroo with painbot should be target, but she's not all that desirable and doesn't die fast with 2 dice and rerolls.

It's really amazing to finally have found a list that Serissu's skill works so well.

Nice work! I played the same list (unhiged+feedback instead of R5 and jammer) and it works pretty well!

Serissu is amazing in the ManaAces :D
