I have 6pts left, what should I spend them on?

I was thinking Hera but then what would I do with the 2pts?

Or swap Obi for Leia and have 5pts left to spend?

Any thoughts?

If you are thinking Hera, then 3po would fill the last two spots. You could keep Mr. Protocol with the troopers to help with defense and focus them.

That's a lot of points though between Jedi Luke and troopers, I think you'll struggle late to round 2, but good luck with it. Let us know.

I don't know what this part means, this will be my first skirmish game

The average skirmish match only last 3 rounds or so, either by time or points.

The troopers will need to move and focus round 1, so that's not attacking until round 2, not uncommon.

Jedi luke can move up if you have the cards, and obi wan can get out somewhere. But that's essentially only 3 activations of attackers. lower cost figures with more activations will probably take down the troopers quickly, leaving you with only two attackers in Obi wan and Luke.

It just gets tough if you are going against a lot of bullet shields. Hera will add one more attacker if you choose her. Have fun with it though, Jedi luke can be tough to figure out when to advance, but is a lot of fun. You figure out what works for you and what you want to change.

Thanks, I was just going to do Lukes Elites or whatever the list is called but I don't have the Echo Base Troopers.

Makes Sense. The Echo's are cool. They have enough health to live a little longer, it will all come down to Luke. If people focus on him and the troopers are free to take shots you could sneak up on some people.

The alliance smuggler is also very useful, but definitely try to squeeze in 3PO for more focus and then option of using Devotion (the command card). The elite troopers are the weaker part of your list because they are best when they can pick a spot and not move from it first round. The current maps mean they'll have to move around, so they're unlikely to get their bonus. I would prefer to have elite sabs with targeting computer and save a point.

Welcome to skirmish!

6pts = Davith or Hera +C3PO/Rebel High Command

or you could change some of the other guys to squeeze in a bit more as mentioned above

Will 3PO still be useful if I switch dabs? Will he be able to keep up?

Absolutely! I like to focus my sabs first turn to be ready for heavy hitting end of round one/start of round two they need to hang back just like troopers since they're squishy, using their mobility to move in and out of range. Give them a try :-). But also 3PO is just a great utility figure in general so he fits into most lists.

If Hera takes your fancy, but you want something with more punch than 3p0 try the alliance smuggler
