What is the best Intensity Poe Build? I think for sure you would need BB-8 and Vectored Thrusters BUT not having Auto Thrusters could be a risk. Any thoughts. I put this up just to get away from the OMG X-wing is blah blah blah type of threads.

Intensity, Black One title, BB-8, Autothrusters, Primed Thrusters

Intensity and primed thrusters allow Poe to still get his focus on a T-roll and to ignore a little stress when going up against control lists.

The "best" is probably R2-D2/Comm Relay Poe. I like BB-8/Primed Thrusters Poe more. I don't think either are all that great, they both hit like a wet noodle, but I find BB-8 Poe a ton of fun to fly.

As gennataos said, I like the R2-D2/Comm relay better. I'm currently playing a Poe/Nym list which I really enjoy, and I'm doing quite good with it. (I'm currently 7-2)

I have a batrep here if anyone is interested: (Last post)

Comm Relay (3)

Comm Relay is good because once you have that one evade, you can spend your action for TL rerolls to boost offense. It works well if you fly carefully, if you don't get shot at a lot, you can always have one spare token to refresh Intensity. I find that when built like this, I must play him as an arc-dodger, then he can work fine.

This is all subjective, but I can't get onboard with this version. I figure if I'm going this expensive, I might as well spend the extra 2 points for R2-D2. Plus I love to virtually ignore stress.

Comm relay/R2D2 by a loooooooong stretch. Regen is increadibly good in the slow burn meta we're in right now, Poetensity regenning more HP than he's worth is actually a rather common sight.

BB8/Primed for cheap, R2D2/Comm for expensive.

BB8/Primed is almost as tough as R2D2/Comm in a meta where there's not a lot of autodamage, but that is not this meta.

Autothrusters are absolutely essential in this meta; in another meta, they might well be replaceable with Integrated.
