How does this work you ask?


The idea is you always move and fire first and last. The big thing here is trying to find the best crew combinations, I'm pretty settled on the Falcon build, but there are so many juicy options for Cassian to run as the ultimate falcon support.


Cassian moves first, goes for the bump or at least put himself into snap shot position. Gets his action to provide focus to Rey with Jyn. Allow to change a focus to an evade with Jan. Not to mention lift stress off Rey if she is stressed.


Now Rey has a focus/evade and is stress free!! Rey does Rey things, keeps the focus/evade for defense due to having Luke to inflict some pain on a reattack if you miss.


Makes Rey tankier and more aggressive. Cassian does not have the late game power of say Corran/Poe/Miranda/Dash or any other number of wingmates for Rey, but I think Cassian becomes the primary target for the enemy here as he will be the one making Rey more powerful. Rey becomes much easier to take down with Cassian out of the way.


Hopefully I'll get a chance to play test this next week!

Looks promising. Many people try to make a strong finisher for after Rey goes down. Cassian could help to stop her going down in the first place.

Interesting build. I do like Luke on Rey. Used him a few times and was pretty good. However, I'm not a fan of the bump game. Mainly because I'm just not good at it yet lol. But this is what I came up with for my Rey/Andor combo.

So the 4 times I've used Rey I find that build the best over all. Kanan is pretty legit for both ships. Next I'm gonna run swarm leader on Andor. On turns where I'm not fearing being blasted off the board it gives Andor some more offensive power by taking Rey's evade and adding another red die. If used at range one that could hurt and with EI I could make sure I'm able to focus and preform Jyns action. With Advanced sensors and Kanan it gives more options on movement. I don't know how competitive this could be but it does sound fun!

I had this list in the can but had not done much theorycrafting or testing with it. I do like Default02 list, I had not been looking at Swarm Leader when I built mine and 4 die Cassian would be nice. For now I will stick with the Norra build, since U-wing isn't out.. (more specifically hasn't arrived at stores)
