Wave 6 Titles

By Undeadguy, in Star Wars: Armada

Simple question - What is your favorite wave 6 title?

I love Squall. Finally lets the slower moving Imp squads keep up with the rest of the group. Decimators and YV-666s can actually engage now by throwing them ahead and using Rogue to get to the target. You can extend Rhymers reach. Speed 7 Defenders. The most useful IMO, is being able to up to 9 squadrons when you activate (4+EHB+token+3 Squall), allowing some squads to run away while the others move in to engage. It also counts as a move, so you can heal 2 when you drop a squad on the station. Interestingly, you can move your squads to range 1 of the enemy so long as they are obstructed, which means they are not engaged.

Maybe the only reason to run Phantoms. All the extra movement will be annoying to pin down.

Engage+FC alpha. Survive (hopefully) until end of squadron phase. Cloak. Squall to GTFO. Attack from a different angle.

I like all the titles. I can see putting every single title released in six onto the board, and thats pretty cool.

My favorite, and not because its going to be the best or whatever, is Task Force Organa. I've been playing around with it in listbuilding and I've been amused by whats been popping up.

Hate Squall.

Hate it when people are just given stuff that you carefully worked out and applied for your own success...

I'm stuck on how to run the Hammerheads. I keep trying to add 4 with titles and Ord slot, but it keeps getting really expensive. And then I don't know what squads to add or what my flagship should be.

Imps are way more easy for me to work with but I keep running 2 Glads. Can't seem to drop Insidious for anything else.

If by "Station Games" you mean " Nose Punchin' ". Then yes. :)

Now everyone's talking about First-Turn Strikes, and I'm feeling very Hipster.

Its a weird feeling.

I might have to shave my beard.

Time for a man bun!

Task Force Organa.

Reroll those fickle, fickle Red dice for 1 point? Yes, please.

Alternatively...

Reroll my Flechette Torpedoes anti-squadron attack, then still be allowed to anti-squadron with my other HammerT? Okay.

Certainly cheaper than putting TRC on a Hammerhead. DC on the Scout could allow up to 5 dice being thrown at long range with a double arc and CF. Not bad for burst damage and 3 rerolls with a CF token and the title.

Everyone's so excited about TF:A, but honestly a 1 point Red Reroll is kinda spectacular. It just requires some judicious use of proper activations and timing. And not getting caught by someone rolling in with MS-1s.

Are you speaking towards the Torpedo or Scout HH for your TF:O titles?

Edited by RStan

The TF titles will be very good when you run them in packs. I am looking at the wonderful synergy of Garel's Honor in a Dodonna list with Precision Strike...YUMMY!

As an avid Dodonna supporter, I'm liking Garel's Honor! Perhaps I'll even load up with OE and APT to go for 3 face ups in one activation! (pending improbable luck)

Just so long as you realise that Garel's Honour doesn't do anything for Precision Strike. (Precision Strike bonuses are only during attacks).

Totally synergies with Dodonna. But not necessarily with Precision Strike :D

Good catch Dras! I guess I am just used to so many ships using ramming to put damage cards out, I have begun to think of it as just another attack... ;)

Even has a chance of NON synergy, if you flip a critical that stays face up. Thus leaving you with a card that can be flipped by spending a hit, and not leaving your opponent with one.

I'm with Biggs on this one. TF:O for those sweet rerolls. That, and I'm hoping that the Quad Battery Turrets can turn the Torpedo HH in to a decent anti-squadron platform that can hit against ships if needed.

Garel's for lulz.

The squad commander in me says Stronghold. The pragmatist says Pursuint. No side of me is excited by Squall.

Stronghold will be fun with Sloane tie horde. If the ship stays alive long enough to make it work that is.
