I recently played a game where flew a squad I put together on a whim and did not expect to do as good as it did, and ended up crushing my opponent. I wanted to get some feedback on it, as to if it is good, or could use some improvements to it.

Rey(45)

Finn(5)

Ezra Bridger(3)

Push the Limit(3)

Kanan Jarrus(38)

Ion Canon Turret(5)

Hera Syndulla(1)

Total: 100

As a note, I was playing against imperials, which their normal low shield and hull could have contributed to their destruction.

Any thoughts on how it could be better/ why this doesn't work? Thanks in advance!

Beef up that Rey. The best Rey build going is something like this:

Rey (45)

-Expertise

-Finn

-Kanan Jarrus

-Falcon Title (TFA)

-Smug Compartment

-Inertia Dampeners

-Tactical Jammer

This build is crazy. Experties and Finn for all attacks in arc. Crazy falcon swoops, then remove stress with Kanan. Position to use tactical jammer to make the other player more likely to focus Rey over the other ships.

You can still even field a VCX with an autoblaster turret and FCS.

Ye I'm not sure how well Rey and Kanan work together because each pilot wants the other as a crew for their ship. Ideally Rey wants Kanan to de-stress her sloops and Kanan wants Rey crew to use as a focus bank to maximise his ability. That said if you want to persevere with it here is what I would suggest:

Drop PTL from Rey - she only has 2 actions anyway, one of which gives re-rolls which she already gets in arc - and you dont want to restrict her to green moves the next turn. I'd drop it for something like VI or adaptability to save points.

I'd also give Rey the new title so that she can maximise her in arc abilities. She will be stressed after but at least Ezra will be occasionally useful, although I would also consider dropping him for c-3po to make her a bit tankier.

For Kanan I would definitely take Rec spec (or alternatively Jyn Erso) and drop Hera. Kanan needs to be taking focus actions to keep his ability working so he never really wants to take red moves. Also throw chopper on him for those times he occasionally needs to make a K-turn or a 1 hard as what he loses in damage he may well make back in damage mitigation through his ability. Plus chopper is free so there is no real reason not to take him.
