I'm thinking this could mostly be fun but perhaps competitive with enough practice? This is an ideal build for Rey but I'm wondering if it's too predictable? Is this the right heavy-hitter to pair my Snap Shots with?

Update:

Played a game with this Rey build tonight. It went well. Almost lost Rey early though. Since she's the clear threat on the board I'm thinking of dropping Kanan for C-3PO to give her a little bit more chances to dodge hits. With expertise, I can bank a focus for defense.

Are you using the new Falcon title? If so I wouldn't drop Kanan as you won't be able to sloop without being stressed which will throw expertise out the window.

Yeah, I'm running the new title. I only used the sloop twice in that game, and only once for an in-arc shot. I guess I need to play a few more games with it vs a variety of lists. Kanan really came in handy when I needed it, but C-3PO gives me an evade once per round.

Regarding C-3PO, since I'm rolling one die, I'll guess 0. Say I roll a blank. I'll add the C-3PO evade, and then I'll be able to add a blank from Finn and re-roll the two blanks, correct?

I'm open to correction here, but yes, that's legal as far as I know.

But I would stick with Kanan over Threepio. You can sloop and remove the stress which will give you an action. Usually with the sloop your target will be in arc. If your target doesn't have a shot you can target lock in case you blank out with your attack dice. If you're gonna get hit you can focus which you can save for defence because of Expertise.

I'd suggest flying your list a few more times before you can make up your mind about it. Rey with the HotR title + Kanan + Finn + Expertise is really good. Maybe you had a bad match-up?

I'm toying with replacing Expertise with Swarm Leader and pairing Rey with some A's, myself. Rey will hopefully pack quite a punch!

I ended up winning the match, but I had to pull Rey out of the fight for a bit since she took damage. I'll use Kanan with this list for a while, but if she keeps going down fast, I'll have to test with C-3PO.

I like the Swarm Leader idea. I have a build with Poe, Ashoka, and Snap Shot A-Wings with Crack Shot instead of autothrusters (needed the points for Poe).

Dang, a range one shot from Rey with Swarm Leader would be lights out for most ships.

Edit: Juke goes hand-in-hand with Snap Shot if you haven't done that. Super fun to modify defense dice since you can't change yours.

I've flown this list and I think it has a lot going for it.

I liked it so much, I made an imperial version I like even more.

What ships are in your Imperial version?

Gotta remember, this is Rey. Not fat han or chewiebo lol She's got nothing but offensive upgrades, the motto to flying a list with her is "the best defence is offence" She's gonna take some damage jousting your opponents, just make sure they take more from the joust sand you'll be fine

Stridan FO's

Stridan w/ kylo's shuttle title, operations specialist, rebel captive, fire control system

3x Omega squadron pilots with snap shot

whenever you miss with snapshot, ops spec lets you get a focus for any ship within range 3 of stridan. And, the shuttle and fighters complement each other with the way they're flown. You have to try to make a parking lot with the FO's

Reviving my old post.

I did some testing with Rey and C-3PO/Finn crew members (haven't had much time lately for full-blown games. Just a few proxies). I just rolled dice through different scenarios without modifiers. I got C-3PO to work 50% of the time. A little lower than the odds of rolling a non-evade.

When the defender was in Arc and I could add a blank to reroll from Finn, I averaged 2.4 evades per roll.

Outside of Arc, without Finn and without modifiers, C-3PO adds no benefit. I got one evade every time.

So I'll need to keep testing, and have some more in-game experience to see if 3PO will work better than Kanan. It solely depends on my ability to keep my targets in-Arc and use the A-Wings to attack ships out of arc.

I did a write-up on my testing in the Battle Reports section.
