I like the standard Rey build (Expertise, Kanan, Finn, MF sloop title) along with Miranda (TLT, EM, HM, LRS).

But I’m drawn to the idea of switching out Expertise for Expert Handling on Rey, and adding Seismic Charges to Miranda with the extra 2 points.

I realize Ray will lose the ability to convert eyeballs on offense (when not stressed), which would have allowed her to save a focus for defense, but the ability to reposition to keep her in arc could help keep her and Finn’s ability in play, while removing an enemy TL. And with Kanan onboard, recovering from the additional stress is not a big deal. I also like the “on reveal” auto-damage that Seismic Charges would add to Miranda’s offense.

Rey-Miranda (100)

Rey (56) - YT1300: Expert Handling (2), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon -sloop (1)

Miranda Doni (44) - K-Wing: Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Homing Missiles (5), Seismic Charges (2), Long-Range Scanners (0)

What are your thoughts? Any advice will help shape the final list I bring to my first store tournament (anticipating Dengaroo, Palp Defenders, and Parattani in our local meta) in a couple weeks. Thanks!

I think with Miranda being your closer, you want Rey to wreck as much face as she can before she goes down so Expertise will probably be better for you.

I like Lone Wolf for the offensive and defensive perks, myself.

Is LW really a good buy with Rey's ability?I dont quite see it as you would need 3 blanks on offense and on defense it will barely work.

I've found that Rey tends to sloop back and forth into the same spots, kind of like a Defender k-turning. If you BR out of your spot, then you could lose sight of your safe slooping zone. That's with my Rey/mini-swarm list, though. With yours, Rey will more likely be trying to tail Miranda to pick ships off, so repositioning might be really good. But...I would wager folks will focus down on Rey first...so then we're back to slooping a lot.

Expertise appears to be standard on Rey for a good reason. She's scary as **** with it.
