Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the final 2 matches of tonight's event!

In the lightweight category, we have Poe Dameron (PS9, Intensity, BB-8, Primed Thrusters, VT, Black One) versus Norra Wexley (PTL, Title, VT, R2-D2, C-3PO/Kyle Katarn)!

In the heavyweight category, we have Han Solo (Original, VI, Rey, C-3PO, Evade Title, EU) versus Rey (Wired, Hera Syndulla, Finn, Countermeasures).

Now folks, lets here it from you, who will win? Which of these fighters will end up together on the table?

Or, would none of them be able to stand up against the current dominators?

Like...them against each other in a battle? You have great, canonical builds for all of them except Rey. Rey is sad.

So to be sure, you are asking which combination of these two builds would be best in the current meta?

First of all, just go regular expertise Rey on this. It is 1 more point than Han, but the small ships you are bringing are 41 points, so there are points available.
Rey's ability is awesome, and you might even dodge some TLT hits, opposed to Han that might dodge ONE shot with all his tokens, and then get hammered.
Han's best feature in this build is the Engine upgrade, but he lacks firepower.

Secondly, why would you put vectored thrusters on a BB-8 poe over autothrusters?
In the current meta, I think poe is stronger than Norra. The ability to shake 2 target locks and murdering alpha strikes, is very very strong.
Norra is too easily overrun by TLT/ordinance, and she is too slow to chase down a bombing Nym/Miranda.
Which is also a great reason to use Autothrusters over vectored thrusters on Poe.

Hope this answered your question.
If it was a brawl between the smalls and between the biggies, then I would say skill matchup vs Norra/Poe (she can regen/run away while firing at poe that cannot regen, but has PS advantage and can get out of arc), and I would probably hand it to Expertise Rey in a Han matchup. She has a ton of defensive/offensive mods, while Han has to use all of this for reducing damage by 2 every turn, while relying on fickle red dice.

Cheers

Hi folks,

Yeah I was just asking which 2 would make a competitive squad in today's meta.

I put out this Rey because this Rey is invulnerable to stress manufacturing. But if that isn't worth it, then I could go to standard.

I chose VT because several times now in playtesting I've had to pull a red and haven't been able to boost, leaving me without a focus token. VT allows me more flexibility there. But to be fair, I haven't yet faced many turrets, so it's possible that AT would be better?
