Looking for some advice on running a tie swarm, is the one below considered the current "most viable"? Appreciate there are lots of counters out there at the moment but something I want to have a go at. Happy to go down to 6 if it's considered better

"Howlrunner" (18)

Crack Shot (1)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)

Brilliant thank you. This will probably be my "fun" practice list. Though I'm not sure I have the stamina to play it for long periods...

The "Scowler" swarm seems to chew up other swarms. Scourge Howl Mauler. And then 3 blacks. I ran it for a while months ago with a bit of success and I'm usually not a swarm player. You have to make sure you don't bump with those different PSs though.

This is a swarm I would like to try:

"Howlrunner" (18)
Crack Shot (1)

"Pure Sabacc" (22)
Swarm Leader (3)
Lightweight Frame (2)

Imperial Trainee (17)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Total: 99

Minimum of 17 red dice being thrown. Can get 20-ish if academies get range 1. Just have academies do evade actions for Sabacc to fire 6 red dice during his attack. Should be able to kill something in one round. There is 1pt leftover, so can always go Swarm Tactics on Howlrunner, to bring Sabacc up to PS8 so he can fire before the enemy has a chance to focus him down. I feel sorry for any ship being blocked and facing the wrath of Sabacc :P
