Screed's New Favorite Toy

By Warlord Zepnick, in Star Wars: Armada

Raiders rejoice, a new ordinance is in town.

Tired of pesky squads?

Suppress an entire group of them with Fletchette torpedoes and Screed.

It's like Dutch on steroids.

Watch as squadrons are left entirely useless, round after round.

Edit: just kidding, it's not that good

Was it fully spoiled somewhere? From what we can see on the Pelta reveal, it looks like it might just be a discard of a black die.

Another user indicated in another threat that some people got their hands on the new toys.

You need to spend a black crit to activate the squadron. Screed will ensure you get that black crit.

On one Anti-Squadron Attack.

Out of the probably Half-Dozen you're making.

...

"Score".

I guess.

:D

So, do you suggest, the line starting with '1 black d' continues with 'ice facing with 'crit icon' ? If its true... it makes it almost useless... Raiders with OE... I expected it to be just a single black die, so Vic 1 would be able to shut down aces with Kallus... I hope its not a crit, I despise raiders.

Yeah, Ordnance Experts is really where you want to be with that, but Screed is a nice insurance I guess. OE and Kallus is probably your go to, really. Maybe a title, too.

Look, if it means stopping Keyan for a turn before a Yavaris double-tap, it's worth it. Until the other b-wings tear it to shreds, of course. Though if it were to also add another black die to anti squad fire...

So if they got their hands on a Pelta already, what is the card that is still hidden?

Thanks Dras!...

Didn't need no French leak for that one :D

Oops. Yeah, definitely underwhelming. LOL

So, Instigator, 1-2 squads, OE, Flechette and initiative can make squadron battle very interesting (and miserable for opponent).

Essentially the only ships Flechettes can be used on are:

Assault Pelta

Raider 1

VSD1(*)

GSD2(*)

GSD1(*)

(*) - against named squadrons only with Agent Kallus.

Hmm, so what does Rapid Launch do?

Even without OE, they have the potential to force your opponent to split his fighters, exposing the Intel/key squads to attack.

so where is our French translator???

Google translate to the rescue:

Before the fleets are deployed, you can place a number of allied squadrons that do not exceed your squadron value.
For each squadron that you are supposed to activate with this order, you may place 1 of your squadrons set aside remotely 1 instead. This squadron can not move during this activation.

You sound like a dog with peanut butter on the roof of your mouth!

You can still bounce em around with FCT. And pending the english wording, Adar Tallon can get them an activation. Pretty good to set up for a Yavris shot.

Well, this will make an amusing combo with Galant Haven and Flight Commander/Flight Controllers. Fly in, launch fighters, blow up the enemy, and any fighters still around won't be able to do much damage against your escort. Not sure if it will be GOOD, but it will be cute. Especially with the Trench Run Trio.

I'm wondering if the set aside sqns that are on your ship card would count against your total sqns for Hyperspace Assault?

drop in 5 yv666 off a isd1 with ruthless strat? thats a ton of damage coming through... throw kallus on for lols

how much dose this new upgrade card cost?

:D

Do we know that it is an exhaustable card? If so that is extremely disappointing.

JK. He was talking about Screed's ability.

No, its not.

Screed is the limit there. Once per activation.

So it could work on multiple squadrons, but Screed is only guaranteeing it for one...
