The best I can get is 7... I would love to get 8 just for the pure ridiculousness of it...

Rey + Finn + Swarm Leader

2 Green squady A-Wings

Rey 3 dice

Range 1 +1

Finn +1

Evades off GSP +2

I think Nora can

Norra w/Swarm Leader at range 1

Jan Ors

2 A-wings

Advanced Protons + Norra + Finn + Jan Ors in a HWK too.

But you'd need Shara to let you use an extra lock.

Finn only works with primary shots.

There have been lots of ways to get to 7 for ages now. And several ways exist to get to 8.


All lists attempting to get beyond 5-die attacks have always been terribly crummy on the table, and nothing new in the past few waves (including Swarm Leader) changes that. You end up with an overly complicated Rube Goldberg machine that can too easily fall apart, even before your opponent starts to dismantle it.

You can actually get 9 now.

Shara, Adaptability and R3 Astromech

Norra, swarm leader, finn crew, R7-T1 and experimental interface

Jan Ors, Cool Hand

Yup! You can indeed . I made this squad list a while ago, hope it helps, God bless !

I'm calling this build "Charlie's Angels"

Norra Wexley (29)
R5-P9 (3)
Expose (4)
Finn (5)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Shara Bey (28)
Adaptability (0)
Jyn Erso (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Jan Ors (25)
Trick Shot (0)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Nien Nunb (1)

Total = 100

Here's how it works:

Norra has Focus tokens from Shara's Action sequence with Jinn (crew)

Norra has a target lock from her own (previous round) action sequence

Norra attacks in her primary arc at range 2-3 = 3 Dice Total

Jan uses her special ability on Norra and receives a stress token (+1 Attack Die) = 4 Dice Total

Norra has Finn as a crew upgrade and has met the conditions (+1 Blank result) = 5 Dice Total

Norra has used her Elite Talent "Expose" this round (+1 Attack Die) = 6 Dice Total

Norra spends Shara's Target Lock activating Norra's special ability (+1 Focus result) = 7 Dice Total

Norra rolls her "natural" 5 dice and then spends her own target lock on any blanks plus the blank from Finn

Norra spends a Focus token on any (including re-rolled) Focus results including her own +1 Focus Result

Now take the above recipe at Range 1 and you now have 8 Dice Total!!!

On top of that, Norra also has regen abilities with extra Focus tokens (from Shara's Jinn crew member), Jan has stress removing help with Nien Nunb, you have two pilots at Skill Level 7 and one at Skill Level 8, you have one turret and two with Auxiliary Firing Arcs, two strongly armoured vessels and tonnes of fun rolling 7 to 8 attack Dice!!! Have fun and God bless .

Fenn Rau with Adv Protons, swarm leader can get 8.

Hold up... You can legally get NINE dice in 100 points.

Norra Wexley w/ Swarm Leader, Finn, AO

Jan Ors w/ Lando

Captain Rex

Gold w/ M9G8

Annnd Ninja'd, but through a different build.

Getting to 7 dice, reliably, in a list isn't that hard, and throwing more than 24 dice in a round is easily achieved as well (though getting modifiers would be very hard at that point)

2 X-wings at range one?

Oh, You mean in a single attack. Don't yoU know how fickle those red dice are? Almost as fickle as those green ones!

Norra can get to 9, in theory.

It is jank as all heck, but it works. Once.

M9 locks Norra, Norra locks at r3. Close to R1, focus, Jan gives Norra the extra die, Cool Hand for an Evade token, Norra fires. 4 for range 1 +1 from Jan +2 from Swarm leader taking the A Wing's and Jan's evades, +1 from her pilot ability and focus token, +1 from Finn, rerolled with M9G8.

That's 8 dice across 2 attacks though. Which means the defender gets to roll 2 sets of green dice.

We're talking about 8 dice in a single attack, where the defender only gets to roll one set of green dice against it.

Really gimmicky but it is possible. Fenn goes all kamikaze and dives into R1, Manny passes Focus and TL to shoot APT, Fenn Triggers SL, and laugh maniacallywhile you blow something up...then cry as the list falls apart afterwards.

Or a little more bare with Jan Ors

12 red dice can One shot a Raider's Fore section. If you can do it from a B-Wing, it's the Big Red Lever.

9 is so chancey it's not funny. 8 is possible but a stretch. 7 & 6 die hits can be reasonably obtained without having to have a perfect storm, just a regular storm.

I did come up with a 7 Die A-wing list, still not a great list over all but pretty funny getting a pew pew A-wing to 7 dice & it's maneuverable enough to realistically setup a decent range 1 out of enemey arc shot.

Tycho 2 +1(rg 1) +2(swarm)+1(expose)+1(Jan Ors) EI lets you expose then focus same turn, use a prior target lock and good to go for a good chance at 7 hits with an A-wing.

Finn and Swarm Leader are primary weapon only. You can probably drop the HLC.

Until you can get 8 dice on a turret I will not fear it. Just to many ways to arc dodge the mega shot.

There have been lots of ways to get to 7 for ages now. And several ways exist to get to 8.

All lists attempting to get beyond 5-die attacks have always been terribly crummy on the table, and nothing new in the past few waves (including Swarm Leader) changes that. You end up with an overly complicated Rube Goldberg machine that can too easily fall apart, even before your opponent starts to dismantle it.

That was deliberate, for long range sniping, then I noticed

the 7 points and a few other upgrades might add up to another ship...
