Now I just have to bring 2 separate lists...

Rube Goldberg lists are famously known as the best sort of lists.

Fair Ship Rubel was very popular

Yes.

That's literally where my squad building has fallen for rebels;

Biggs

Selfless B's & Y's.

Coordinate.

4+ ships.

I think that's really the most competitive approach for Rebs right now.

Building Blocks:

You know on closer inspection.....I think I would rather just use Wedge like everyone else.

RIP FFGCon for reals? Looks like IA and Armada are having their Worlds at Adepticon this year. So is May Worlds officially ded? I don't know if they can justify having it be Destiny-only.

Legion Worlds were always Adepticon.

What if we allowed players to bring epic ships in lieu of 3 asteroids/debris like in 1.0 cinematic play?

My own list is evolving further down that rabbit hole.

• Biggs
• Magva Yarro (selfless)
• Fenn Rau
• plus 47 points of....? Probably a Blade (selfless)

Guessing you are taking Fenn for his ability and not i6 coordinate, right? Is that possibly too much overlap with Magva's ability or is neutering one proton a round worth 52 points?

As an aside, I finally got to give Boba a spin a few times this week. Holy cow is he good.

It's got overlap... but different too?

Thoughts on this: Magva is useful still with Jonus swarms, that are getting multiple re-rolls without spending the lock. Magva is also useful in that moment Fett crashes into the formation. One more useful point on Magva that Fenn Rau doesn't have - multiple shots... The combination of having both should reduce potential damage a touch more, but a worth while amount of damage for the cost? That I don't know.

And yeah... Fett is good.

My Rebel list building started down a rabbit hole of "Rebel Good Stuff", tumbled very briefly over to damage spreading and finally rested back where it started...on SN Luke/Sabine and a couple BSEs. I don't want to play the game either of the possibly good things can do, so I settled on just playing something fun, somewhat in preparation for Resistance. Competitively, I've given up on them for now.

Welcome to the party! I've been actively pursuing things other than Boba and Fangs since Crossroads and I really don't know why.

Ultimately, I feel this is the correct answer.

Maybe, I'm just not patient enough to keep throwing Rebel spaghetti against the wall and seeing what sticks. I'm probably not clever enough, either.

I was thinking that too - Fenn or Braylen seem like solid options for that spot.

I've run Boba/Kavil/Lando and Boba/4LOM/Palob - I prefer the later so far.

Fenn vs Magva might be a local meta thing too... Magva is going to be way more useful with higher ship counts. Fenn vs lower ship counts. We're having some very interesting swings in ship counts in these parts. Sure, we have the three ship lists... but 5+ ship lists keep popping up. I've played against them enough that I'm starting to make certain decisions when prepping for tournaments...

(them, and quadjumpers... go ahead, flip me on debris you little $^%#!!!)

Honestly, I don't think one can go wrong with Boba + (Kavil/Quads/Escape Craft/Fangs/HWK/4-LOM/Guri/whatever). I think it comes down to playstyle preference.

My scum squad building equation goes like this:

Boba/Fenn/Guri + Kavil/OldT/4LOM + Palob. First 3 are "endgame/damage" centerpieces, second set is secondary threats and third is the menace himself, Palob. That's if you're building 3 ship scum without Escape Crafts or Quadjumpers. If you add those into your consideration, then it's all out the window.

Don't the Quads/Escape Craft neatly slot in to the secondary threat place? Two of them generally match the points provided by that grouping.

Yeah I guess Quads always come in pairs now, although I've built and seen Guri/Fenn + Kavil still fit 2 Quads. Single Escape Craft or Quad basically enables the ability to take 2 of the endgame pieces or multiple secondaries while still having Palob.

Yeah double quads are good in the middle slot you described. They are really hard to ignore and act as a pseudo Biggs.

Paul's outro singing is the best thing I've ever heard. If I could make that my ringtone I super would.
