Dismantled my first Ghost list with that VK/Vessery/Meg tonight. OP on top!

Was this posted earlier? I stumbled into this one, and want to see where I screwed up my build. For reference, I've got

Omega Leader - Juke, Comm Relay, Hull Upgrade

Colonel Vessery - Tie X7, Veteran Instincts, Tie Mk. II

Vermeil - VI, ISB Slicer, Director Krennick, Advanced Ailerons, Lightweight Frame

I think this is backwards - one out of 6-8 of your ships not having a focus isn't a big deal, jamming Vader's Target lock probably is?

**** 8? There gonna be 8 of them?

Thats awesome.

My concern with OL is in the Vermeil mirror, which would seem to be prevalent, she's basically a PS8 Omega Squadron pilot. Vess is less of a concern but still a bit vulnerable to that.

I saw a Poe get Jammed at a tourney on the weekend, he was super sad. I was super happy, even though it wasn't my game.

Expertise Rey doesn't care about your Jam!

But she does care about PS8 arc dodging small bases that get free TLs and have primary weapon guidance chips.

Yep, your rey can shoot my inquisitor range 1 in arc and do .577, meanwhile in response the quiz and vermeil do roughly 4 back assuming both are in arc which would be embarrasing for both. Good luck Rey? Haha

Is what I was thinking of trialing against the "Vermin mobile" (as started calling it just now) Does it win? only against sub-par players, but it will be fun. that stupid list puts out an insane amount of damage.

Did you mean Kanan instead of Kyle? Not sure if Saw is that great since you are already getting the focus.

yea kanan. Saw is required because Vermile will destroy you and more rerolls would be worth while. I guess predator would work too as I got the points. The other option would be to use the Focus when you don't wanna murder yourself (ie: you roll 5 focuses on a ship that is 2 hull from death but can only defend 2.

this is probably better - list building without coffee or caring about 1.0 :P

Yeah, I'd almost swap Kyle and Saw there. Wulf is going to be stressed from Rage and so get the extra focus which can then be spent on defense. While Rey can evade every turn and leverage her big health pool to use Saw on her 5 dice (and swap expertise for something else...)

pedator c-3po saw on Wulf will give him some staying power later and helps get to his extra damage earlier. I like Rey to live a bit longer :P

I almost think this could be good. Use Rey to brawl and spike dmg and then close out with Poe. It address one of the big weakness of Plot Armor in that you can fly Poe close to shed TL on both ships without turning off Lone Wolf.

I feel that the the empire vermin would just focus down Poe first as the win condition, and I'm unsure if you can catch/kill either Reaper before Poe cries himself to oblivion. its a stupidly good squad... do Rebels have a solid counter aside from excessive spike damage and praying to Duncan?

Well hopefully Poe stays out of it while Rey does her thing. The VK squad is all arcs, so should be able to arc dodge. Let them chase Poe if that means Rey does more work.

Also Triple Wookies is probably the answer.

Is the plan to lose at time vs quiz then? Rey can shoot a reaper twice then never see it again, the only way Rey can ever quiz is to kill him as early as possible.

engine Rey should be able to catch up with a reaper if you can corral it where you want to. The "pre boost" gives the reaper a lot of options tho. It's an interesting problem because the two reapers are silly fast and Inky is pretty much invincible.

Engine Rey boosting after a reaper is also not going to work very well though, especially saw Rey. Hurting yourself to do a Max of two damage to reapers is a losing proposition, I think.

I don't think Saw Rey is a good idea in general. she is too easy to kill already, taking 2/3 of your list and killing yourself doesn't seem smart. Rebels are going to be interesting to find a solid counter for against the reaper. Scum may have better options?

Strezra is probably the best rebel counter.

@Wiredin maybe trade EU for Countermeasures and Scavenger Crane? Probably not as good but I like it.
