Ketsu Onyo w/ Expertise, Dengar, Engine Upgrade, Shadow Caster and your flavor of Illicits. Either evade, boost or turn the mobile arc as actions....hmmmm...it's like having glitterstim ALL the time...I might've found a use

Expertise is very much worth 4 points and incredible. The crew is mediocre unfortunately.

Well... if I'm not crazy Expertise is amazing for every ship... I think ships with an X shaped wing might really appreciate that though. They always had poor action economy and were bad at limit pushing. With this they can:

Use R5-P9 without hurting offense

Take Engines or Vector Thrusters and still focus for the shot

Accidentally bump but not be screwed if something else is in arc

Target lock to fire ordinance and devastate enemy ships

Take ordinance AND Integrated effectively.

BUT still be expensive.

Bistan looks like he wants to watch the world burn. Pair with Ten Numb perhaps?

Mmmm, /D Defenders...

every ship that can load 4 points and not spontaneously combust under enemy fire, you mean

4 points makes it a good balancing act. You cannot just throw this onto a named B-wing and expect good returns, for example

well, it's a kinder word than I'd use for basically merc co-pilot at less restrictive ranges

Ten Numb, Bistan, Autoblaster, and Accuracy Corrector

Poe with Expertise.

Never. Spend. Focus.

Corran Horn with Expertise perhaps?

Anyone that can attack multiple times will like this card. It is pricey, but I think its definitely the best 4 point EPT by far.

ten nub, FCS, Mangler canon, B-Wing/E2 and then both these cards.......

Poe with Expertise.

Luke.

True but... most of the better X-Wings are. Since you only ever get 4 at max, I typically take 3 or load it up on a list with allies. While it is expensive it can hit massively, and survive 2 to 3 rounds of gunfire, during which time it can punch some serious damage through. Also, Biggs buys that precious investment a few more turns of brutal gunfire, during which it will only ever take target lock to hit as hard as possible and make those few shots count. Yeah that's 2 marked for death, but how many TL/Focus shots can you take from say... Wedge?

man these are underwhelming as hell

Donnie Yen deserved better

Are you kidding? Permanent offensive focus if unstressed is INCREDIBLE. Doubly so if you're able to make more than one attack a round.

Bistan is a bit underwhelming though.

Poe and Corran both are cheaper and effective with PTL is the thing about that idea. Yeah it's good situationally but I'm not sure if it's that much better.

IG88 B/C expertise, FCS...?

Edit:My quick build would have to down grade to manglers. :/

posted like 3 times that I misread the card

Bistan is still trash, though, unless he's turning a blank into a crit and I'm just not seeing it

Corran Horn with Expertise perhaps?

My thoughts exactly. Stelllar on pretty much everything that can shoot more than once per turn.

Ten Numb, Bistan, Autoblaster, and Accuracy Corrector

Why Accuracy Corrector?

If you use Bistan first, his crit gets cancelled and replaced by a hit - you can't use Bistan after using AC

Expertise, IMO, will have to find a place with a ship that can clear stress easy, can live without using a focus action or can take an evade action and/or is a low agility/high health ship....not many options there that fit the bill, but there are a few. Time will tell...

Expertise is going to go over very well on things that can handle blank reds basically, so things with multiple attacks, built in rerolls and... Weapons Guidance? Does this make Weapons Guidance usable?

Backdraft/Expertise/Weapons Guidance/Collision Detector/Frame/Title?

Essenitally;

• Expertise is good whenever it's affecting multiple attacks (much like marksmanship or predator). Gunner, IG-88B, or Corran Horn are all good calls.
• Whilst more expensive than predator, it affects all focus results, making it a permanent offensive focus as long as you're not stressed
• It's actually probably not all that awesome on Norra Wexley - FGD maintains that he tends to fire the tail gun more than the main guns, which already have a free focus-to-crit modification from Alliance Overhaul
• I can see it being scary as with Colonel Vessery. With free target locks and free focus, he can reserve his focus purely for defence (because hey, a TIE defender needed to be tougher), or get double-modified double-tap with TIE/D
• Whilst it's bloody expensive, Advanced Proton Torpedoes. Push The Limit would be cheaper, but this avoids you having to deal with stress. Ditto, I guess, with concussion missiles.
• As noted, it'll be good with Rey, but you need to figure out how to avoid stress.

Bistan in a B-wing/E is essentially a sawn-off mangler cannon at a 1-point discount. Ten Numb will approve.

Do you think it could well on Defenders?

Could make D's very hard hitting.

hrmph...now that I think about it, expertise would actually shut off the defensive portion of Norra's ability since you can't lock + focus it (offense only)

that could probably make PTL remain the go-to ept for her, as that defensive utility is just too **** clutch once Biggs is gone

redundant with aux arc is also a thing. With PTL, you can roll into a target-lock for "full mods" not counting the possibility of 3 hits

I don't think it'll be the better choice

Do you think it could well on Defenders?

Could make D's very hard hitting.

For /x7s, yes, they're rarely stressed and it will make them all the more impossible to kill because they won't care about retaining their focus for offence.

For /Ds, it makes them scarier, but more expensive, which makes them bigger targets, so I doubt it's all that much use.

My Ruthlessness TIE /D Overlords welcome this change to their usual hunting style, with open guns.
