Never tell me the meta. (Actually please do)

Ok guys. I took a break.

What's the new goodness hotness on the block?

Swarm Leader 3 Defenders?

Kylo Ren crew? On what?

Paratanni? -> Is this thing like MJ jousting value overpowered?

The Tie SF? In what forms?

What are the rebel goodies? -> ergo, things I wanna kill. ESp if they have large ships.

Parattanni. Has won all 3 system opens so far

Cooolio. What's the deal with this list? =)

Tell me the OP-ness. So I don't lose to it.

Attanni mindlink (already bonkers on its own) and the dials to ignore any downsides from it. And Manaroos rangeless ability to generate additional tokens with it.

Its simple, it's beautiful, it's elegant and it's very powerful. It's the "easy" button. Usually ends up with TL and Focus x2 on Fenn and Focus and Evade x2 on Asajj and Manaroo with a Focus. Oh, and all the ships have great dials.

Fenn is hardhitter there - and hard to destroy using just lasers.

Asajj is nightmare to kill - and she got 3 attack after all.

And Manaroo is pushover. Except shes scum Empress.

This is crazy but rebumping a duplicate thread, cuz the other got mired.

Please see the OP. =).

Does Norra have true tier 1 competitive use?

What about Shara and other ARCs?

How is the tug doing? What's the general build for a tug? Is it worth buying?

Tugs not doing much, but there also hasn't been a great deal of experimentation with it. Norra is pretty good, as is stress-Braylen, but neither has a killer list right now. Both of them with Biggs would still be a thing, but it still doesn't see wide spread play. Norra suffers a bit from not being Miranda whenever there is no Biggs around.

Have a look here for some analysis of Lists Juggler data:

I'm still working on it, but have fun with it already :)

I wouldnt say its always "easy" button. Fenn is still a glass cannon. Manaroo with a 2 attack PWT isnt super powerful. The parts do work together well and there isnt alot of moving parts u have to keep track of. I still feel that Zuckuss crew is broken and /X7 is undercosted or not limited properly.

That was my point. Not that it's auto win but that Asajj circles the outside with mobile arc facing in, Manaroo trails and Fenn does his thing. Not a lot of crew or triggers to remember. It's "easy" to fly, even for a beginner.

Defenders are the middle of the road hurdle now (which is funny).
If you can beat Defenders consistently, your list will make it to the top tables. Once your there its a different ball game!

Its also the fact it really doesn't have a list that is a hard counter to it. So in that regard is actually more powerful than pre-nerf Phantoms. Those you could at least bring a list that countered them pretty hard.
