new list idea i came up with and the first swarm like thing ive ever planned to fly (it doesn't even have an interceptor in it!)

Howlrunner + Squad Leader + SD: 23

Pure Sabacc + Swarm Leader + Title + Lightweight frame: 25

Lt. Colzet + Title + AC + TIE: 24

Wampa: 14

Academy Pilot: 12

total: 100/100

the idea is for wampa to push cards under shields before colzet flips them

colzet can also flip cards from the other ships too

howlrunner does what howlrunner does

pure sabacc takes evade tokens from everyone not getting shot at and rolls 6 dice + howlrunner

I'd be tempted to take FCS on Alozen that way he can take an evade to feed Pure Sabacc and still have a target lock for his ability.

Edit: Of course I meant Colzet not Alozen!

played this list last night, it melted too quickly, TIE fighters lack mods or firepower to stay alive and the striker can't dodge a blaster bolt caught by Ren

Thanks for the report - would you try and tinker with this list or is it not worth saving?

I had the same experience with Swarm Leader. I had it on Darth Vader, who could focus and evade to survive the onslaught he invites., or focus and target lock to make it 4 dice + a crit. It was brutal...the one time I used it. Night Beast was a great Wingman, but Backstabber and Mauler Mithel wanted focus tokens too much. I used Swarm Leader once in two games. I think Swarm Leader has definite potential, but I don't think I am invested enough to keep trying to make it work.

personally i'd just scrap it but i usually fly triple aces, swarm leader could be fun there but 3 pts is too much to make it work.

i can't stand the striker's lack of greens, and TIE fighters just sort of melt in the current meta

for anyone trying to make it work, i played against Vader + Wampa + 4 academies and Chateau + Soontir Fel, the miniswarm just outdakka'd me and my list couldn't last angenced chateau. TPK, 0 kills both games
