This Nien is fun as hell against things with PS<7. Sadly, it loses a lot of its teeth against stuff that's higher than PS7, which is sadly a huge chunk of the meta.

Similarly, OP's EH NN is not very good against Ordnance Users with PS>7 (Dengar, Bossk, Miranda, Inquisitor, etc.).

AGAIN, the whole point is Ahsoka with Rey can pretty much guarantee Nien can barrel roll at beginning of Combat to strip a TL even from higher PS ships.

I haven't found this to be the case. The more Boosting/BRing Nien does the harder it becomes for him to maintain the tight narrow formation required for Black 1, Biggs', and Ahsoka's abilities to keep working. Either NN or Ahsoka need to start doing sub-ideal moves to keep that R1 formation alive.
