What's your guy's best Dodonna crit unloader? Here's what I've come up with



It looks pretty good, but you are very short on squadrons. They'll both get chewed up much to quickly. I would drop the GR-75 and maybe even the CR-90 get more A-wings. While it may not be ideal for you, squadrons are pretty important these days, and having only two just isn't enough.

Best case scenario: If enemy is double arc'd, fire 3 blue from front w/ LS to crit fish, then fire 2 blue+1blue CF dial from side w/LS to crit fish. If you're decently lucky you score 2 crits with possibility of 4 damage if you draw Structural Damage each time. Then you ram, then Engine Tech and ram again for +2 damage. Possible 6, probable 4 damage (including 2 crits) straight onto hull. And if you activated last-first with this ship, Blast Door away your 2 hull damage and do it all again.
Then you can follow up with:
Hammerhead Torpedo (45pts)
Boarding Engineers
External Racks
Garel's Honor

Looks good, I don't know if I would use Rogue squadron though, maybe not even Gold Squadron. You could drop those two and add a couple A Wings, for defense purposes. Also, why boarding engineers?

Yeah, I'm just running low on points, Shara Bay should last a few turns, and if not one of the MC30's is outfitted to kill flotillas. If its a bigger ship controlling squadrons, the MC30's and MC80 should be able to deal with the ship fairly quickly. But you're right, the main weakness of this build is the lack of fighter support.

With the free'd up points you could toss some YT-1300s, X-Wings, or some stuff with Rogue or Relay to keep enemy fighters busy much longer. You could instead add a second flotilla with repair crews or just as an activation. Changes in bold.

The MC80 needs maneuverability, good point. However I'm going to have to disagree with the dropping of the other MC30. The build uses the MC30's as suicide boats if need be, to unload as many crits through the shields to effectively disable the any heavy hitting enemy ships and heavily damage with them so that the MC80 can finish them off. The removal of another MC30 essentially halves the firepower, as well as decreasing the activations, which can harm a build that would like an activation advantage and to be first player. Placing a commander on the suicide bomber isn't the best idea for it as well. Ill have to try to fit in advanced projectors in to the MC30's though itll make them way more survivable. However I think ill keep the CR90 as Dodanna's Pride, in order to have another ship poking through shields and dishing crits out.

You definitely could sub both Gold and Rogue for 2 A-wings and save 4 points for a better bid, which is pretty important for this build. I included Rogue simply for squadron activation economy, and Gold for bomber threat since Luke will be focused on.
I included Boarding Engineers to just rain crits on some poor ship that already took damage. In theory you could send in Garel's Honor to doom a ship punished but not destroyed by the CR90b or MC30-Torpedo. Since this is a Dodonna Fleet I thought you might as well lean into the crit damage lol.
Edited by WhatsArmadaWithYouYeah, I guess you're bound to get some non crits through
