A 48 or 49-point Corran should be an absolute monster in this meta. With AS/PTL/engine he should be virtually immune to single defenders and fairly easily whittle down one of a pair to win on points.

So what do you add for 50-52 points that won't just melt under defender guns?

I'm looking forward to the day I can kill ptl Corran with BMST without worrying so much about his annoying regen.

Chewie + Predator + Leebo + 3PO + MF ain't half bad, and his turret will mess Defenders up good.

Why Advanced Sensors over Sensor Jammer? I just want to know your thought process.

I like Sensor Jammer because it's going to force a focus use on the first attack or they save it for Corran's follow-up shot.

The wing-mate is a rough question. You could really go any direction.

I like Miranda but let's face it. Your enemy will focus-fire Corran to death and then worry about Miranda. Not sure that's how you want your games to go...

Right now I like my 46pt Corran: Juke; FCS; R2D2;Hull.

Maybe something funky and untested...

Dash perhaps.

I pair him with VI Poe and pattern analyzer. Just enough room for a proto awing blocker. And boy does that blocker earn its keep.

Dash is an old time favorite of mine and my 52pt variant has been a blast to play; may need to add BMST to make it a 53pt Dash and combo with the 46pt corran.......

Dash: Title; HLC;Rey;Lone Wolf;

I hope/imagine you're running r2d2 on Corran, and if so my concern would just be Asajj Ventress. I think that PTL/Dengar/Engine/Slicer Asajj is a big problem for Corran between double stress concerns and slicer tools concerns. Especially if paired with 1+ z95s also carrying slicers since on average 1/2 of those slicers procs per turn so your Corran dies really quickly if he gets stressed.

As for specifically fighting defenders? I would consider a couple of TLT Ys. Both defenders and the lambda hate that, Dengaroo doesn't love fighting them, and they can supplement Coran's punchiness with some HP and consistent damage. Especially if they strip off tokens for his double tap to push through.

Black One Poe and maybe a TIE-Fighter.

Or the good old classic: Wes, Biggs, Corran

Though with the new ordnance options which got opened up by the removal of large ship deadeye … I would rate Black One Poe a lot higher than the old scout counter list.

Could you fit a Wes and Opportunist Keyan in there? No? Well darn. because that would certainly be the answer if you could.

this sounds like a job for looping Rey!

Rey

or drop Corran EPT to a Adaptability or Trickshot... get in Han and swap Sloop to Evade title and Kanan for either C3po or Ezra.

What would that Rey even do with her PtL?

Her bar only has TL and Focus. Kyle gave her a focus, and wouldn't she already have a TL type effect if she got her opponents in arc? She's got like...two PtL abilities solely for redundant actions now, right?

MOAR REGEN

2nd place at last worlds and all that (VI r5-p9 thruster PS 8 poe and a humble charidaan prototype)

Two Blue Squadron Novices, one with R3A2, one with R2 or anot her 1 point astromech, both with Integrated Astromech. Tough, good blockers, reasonably hard hitters.

Naked biggs and an old school stresshog

Kanan with Rey, FCS, TLT & Recon

Dash, broken hearted that he's 1pt off of his rey lw lhc build

Norra and a Bandit

... I reckon I'd give those a try. Infact I think I will...

Chewie + Predator + Leebo + 3PO + MF ain't half bad, and his turret will mess Defenders up good.

I don't know. The only turret I see giving Defenders trouble is one with Zuckuss. Otherwise, 3 attack dice for 50+ points take a long time to get through six health.

Okay, why not approach this logically. What does Corran Horn have trouble dealing with? Arc-dodging higher PS aces, I'd imagine. Non-defender palpaces will eat him alive (or one Defender, one Soontir), which means... I dunno. Conner Net K-wing?

TIE/Rex with Sabine's Masterpiece, Captured TIE, Conner Nets, BMST leaves 29 points to play with. A classic Stresshog? That gives you enough to upgrade the TIE to Ahsoka.

48 Corran Horn w/ PTL, FCS, EU, R2-D2

26 Gold Squadron w/ TLT, R3-A2, BTL-A4

26 Ahsoka w/ Adaptability, title, Sabine, Conner Nets, BMST, Captured TIE

Or no hog, I dunno.

I missed that... whoops

Corran / E wing, FCS, R2D2, Hull

Han / Sq Leader , Kanan, Kyle

You guys are hitting on all cylinders; Horn is awesome, but stress does him in. Defenders also don't mind facing him once with his double-tap as they token up because once the fly by is done, they'll be a bi**h for him to shake. He definitely needs help and turrets and/or stress-hogging ships would be worth a try.

How about a couple TLT Y-wings, or one TLT Y-wing and Roark?

Why Advanced Sensors over Sensor Jammer? I just want to know your thought process.

I like Sensor Jammer because it's going to force a focus use on the first attack or they save it for Corran's follow-up shot.

On Corran, AdvS > FCS > SJ (IMO).

Advanced Sensors, alongside PtL and Engine Upgrade, gives you insane maneuverability and survivability. Against any one or two ships at a lower PS than you, they'll only get Corran in arc if you let them. Otherwise, you just dial in a two-bank, wait to see what the other guy does, and then boost and barrel roll and end up somewhere completely different. Or hell, you can just focus and evade and then bump -- you still won't take any shots that way.

Chewie + Predator + Leebo + 3PO + MF ain't half bad, and his turret will mess Defenders up good.

I don't know. The only turret I see giving Defenders trouble is one with Zuckuss. Otherwise, 3 attack dice for 50+ points take a long time to get through six health.

I guess it's less Chewie doing work than the combination of him and Corran. Both of them can tank pretty effectively against Defenders, and they don't have to worry about Autothrusters. Corran will probably strip a token or two, leaving Chewie to push a bit of damage through. As long as you get one Defender off the board before Chewie dies, Corran can solo the other (and Palp, if he's still alive).

Yeah 3 hits from 50 or more points isn't worrying defenders, 1 is cancelled via evade token then its 3 dice and focus versus 2 hits.

MOAR REGEN

2nd place at last worlds and all that (VI r5-p9 thruster PS 8 poe and a humble charidaan prototype)

Wait. Or do you mean MOAR WINGSPAN? Maybe make an ARC he can't resist as a target. So say your typical stressmule? You either go after Corran and eat a bunch or stress, or go after the ARC and let Corran do his thing. And if he splits his fire, that's good for you.

I don't know the specific builds, and I think it's better for everyone to pick their own build.

So:

Corran

Braylenn Stramm/ Thayne Kyrell (could be nice to give Corran even more actions)

Prototype pilot

Chewie + Predator + Leebo + 3PO + MF ain't half bad, and his turret will mess Defenders up good.

4 hits at range one, twice? How many evade and focus tokens does that defender have?
