I decided to go with Nien with R3A2 Snapshot Integrated BlackOne PatternAnalyzer, Jess with M9G8 Integrated, and Ello with Predator R2astro Integrated WeaponsGuidance, going full aggro.
Game one was vs Asajj with Latts Gyroscope PTL ShadowCaster BMST and 2 TLT Agromech thugs. First round of combat i put 0 damage on asajj for 0 damage on Nien. Rounds 2-4 i gunned it past assaj and went after the ys, killing 1 on round 2, the second had no shot round 3 and died round 4, trading for 3 shields on Ello and 1 on Jess.
I chased asajj around through the rocks, had a rough turn with only 1 shot for two rounds, but ended the game 100-0 with ello full hull, jess on 2 shields and nien on 1.
Round 2 vs rebel swarm of rookie rookie blue bandit bandit bandit. Rounds 1-3 i ran along my board edge to cluster him up and muddy the engagement. Round 4 we engaged, ello and nien erased the b with 2 shots and jess solo'd a z, dropping both before nien lost all shields.
Next round nien stressed a z with snapshot and aced a rookie with my shots, loosing 2 hull and r2 in return. Round 6 i killed the only z that had a shot. The following round everything bumped his rookie and the z whiffed, and the round after that i turned on and eviscerated the z. 3 rounds later i ended the last rookie, totaling 100-0, nien droidless with 1 hull left, jess on 1 shield and ello on 2.
Round 3 vs Ahsoka with captured and vi, norra with ptl r2d2 overhaul and rey, biggs with r2f2 integrated, and captain rex. First 2 rounds we went for positioning, round 3 i double stressed norra and took her shields in exchange for shields on jess and mg98 from a double damage.
Round 4 i finished biggs and norra ended up 1 shield higher than before. Round 5 nien bumped the wrong direction stressed, norra takes 2 of ellos shields while i waste shots at rex. Next round nien stresses and deals 2 damage to rex while ello puts 4 into a full health norra, taking her shields and dealing 1 hull, Everyone else whiffs. Round 7 nien takes 2 damage, including a blinded pilot, and looses the stressbot to a double damage crit while ello brings norra to 4 and no shields and jess kills rex. Nien turns his blinded down with a snap shot and dies to ahsoka while nothing else shoots. Next round, ello forces a bump on norra, ahsoka kills jess, and i get no other shots. Following round norra takes ellos last shield for no return, and goes back to 4 hull 3 shields. Round 11 ello puts a stunned pilot on ahsoka with no return fire. A couple rounds later, norra puts the final damage on ello, ending my run 2-1, 61-139, 461-139 overall.
Every upgrade got it's use except Black 1 and Weapons Guidance. Every game Ello ended up stressed once, and the 2-hard green allowed him to stay in the fight.
My biggest regret is forgetting in game 3 that Jess moves before Rex, bumping Rex with Jess causing Nien to miss his K-turn and wind up facing the wrong way stressed. So, what I would run differently is I would take more time lining up each move. When playing with non-top-tier ships, you REALLY have to be on the top of your game.
