First Yavaria Build

By Rettere, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Hi, any thoughts/comments on this build? I feel like a fifth activation would be good, but also feeing really skimpy on ship hull points. I'm intrigued by the idea of triple tapping Dutch or Wedge. I'm also wondering if I should make room for one strategic squad?

Any thoughts on objectives? Obviously superior positions would be a solid choice - maybe most wanted too? But what to do for a yellow?

I would eat into the bid a little and swap a Y-Wing for an X-Wing to get a second escort in there. If Jan dies a lot of your power could get locked down for a vital turn or two.

Contested outpost is a safe yellow mission where you can arrange for the fighter ball to meet the enemy with all your ships on the other side of it holding the base. Fighter ambush can be good too but it is a little risky that someone with the full 134 in squadrons accepts the challenge.

Just some food for thought.

When I make bomber lists, I tend to focus on having multiple threats. That means a primary threat consisting of a carrier(s) plus a bomber wing. The secondary threat consists an Admonition loaded with H9, APT and OE. In that scenario the enemy will have to focus on both the bombers and their carriers while trying to somehow avoid getting completely recked by Admonition.

Perhaps people more experienced with 100% bomber fleets can provide better advice/comments regarding your specific list.

Wise words from the Hawk, showing two relevant threats should be the basis for any fleet build. It does not have to be one additional big threat ship like Admonition, but a lone TRC90 will not do either. Maybe add an upgrade or two to your carriers to make their shots count as well?

Wow thanks for the great feedback!! The 'two-threat' idea seems particularly good... how about this, dropping down to only 6 fighters but arguably just as punchy I think in an alpha...
