Flight commander & overload pulse bombers

By Xeletor, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Anyone tried an mc80 command cruiser with flight commander and overload pulse? The bombers activate after the pulse affects the defense markers.

With torin far and a concentrate fire token the crit chance is about 80%.

Is it worthwhile to build around it?

It is not worthwhile to build around that because they will use all their tokens against the MC80 shot reducing its damage considerably.

However,

MC80 Mon Karren Overload Pulse..... could be glorious for this.

Or you could us HTTs...... Wow a use for HTTs..........wash my mouth out.

So thats what they are for!

Its true......there is a purpose for everything.....

Interesting thoughts! It made me think and there are cases where you are completely right. But for ships with duplicate defense tokens or contains this setup is still good. An ISD would spend only its brace and one redirect on the mc80 attack for example, and still have redirect and contain for the bombers. With the pulse it faces hard decisions.

Still not as elegant as a 90b triggering the pulse.
