Hey ppl

Storechamps is in full swing, going to my firtst this july

What do you think of my two lists?

Countes or Whisper , a light whisper, but still, Whisper.

Hmm

Kylo and vader ( I know they dont work together) is for puting the blinded pilot and dealing crits to scums like fenn .

Have been using the countess variant to some sucsess ,

But Whisper at ps 9 is a beast, those 4 dice primary is nasty.

But the manouverbility of the countess in her defendr is amazing,

Cant decide!!

Rear Admiral Chiraneau

Veteran Instincts (1)
Kylo Ren (3)
Darth Vader (3)
Gunner (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Whisper

Heads up, Vader crew will not trigger IWSYTDS. The condition requires the critical to be dealt during the attack, whereas Vader deals a critical after the attack is made.

I would vote whisper and keep the higher ps pair.

Whisper is too light in the list. I would definitely go Ryad first. Lone wold is an interesting prospect on her. It makes her more defensive, plus not needing TL's, but she can't back up the decimator without losing that ability. The one thing I don't like in the build is vader. He doesn't work with Kylo, and your killing yourself faster than your killing your opponent in most scenarios. I think you should switch him out. Rebel captive?

Hmm, I never considered Lone Wolf on Ryad; gonna have to try that out instead of PTL or Juke that I usually run with. Otherwise, I agree with the above, Vader is not a great choice and Whisper is too light. I would go with the second list switching VI for Adaptability and Vader for Hot Shot. Alternatively, you could drop the Dauntless title as it is more of a nice to have niche item than what its worth in my opinion (unless running a casual Oicunn build, then it's just good fun).
