Jostero looks quite fun, Thweek is my new budget ace, Nym is STILL doing #justnymthings.

Thweek is, of course, excellent. I don't think there's a better build for him than this one.

Nym is nice, but to capitalize on the Bomblet/Jostero synergy, I think it would be better to use Advanced sensors and be more reliably able to contact with the bombs.

I don't know why you have BMST on Jostero without a reliable way to stress the opponent.

All around, I like the list. But I feel that Jostero needs more/more reliable procs for his ability, ie Harpoons, more bombs w/ Cad Bane, etc etc

Yeah, I would take that BMST off of Jostero, I know it's cute to trigger his own ability, but I think PS10 Nym needs at least a 1 point bid. You don't need advanced sensors on Thweek, and can downgrade to FCS for the other point of bid. Your Nym is built as an ace hunter - he needs to move last.

BMST is free, and keeps PTL (corran,etc.) and kturning/tallon roll (Poe,etc.) regening aces in check.

Oh, derp, Vaksai.

BMST doesn't trigger Jostero's ability. Assign a damage card and taking damage are two different things.

And I agree with @wurms . If you're not using the Illicit slot for anything else, you may as well carry it in case you have a chance to use it.

As mentioned, BMST is a free upgrade and can't trigger Jostero's ability because it skips "suffer damage" and goes straight to "deal a damage card".

I'm not sure how Thweek will perform without a bid (honestly feel like he needs to go last) but we shall see!

It'll be pretty crucial for Jostero's ability to trigger before he goes down, which is why I went with Extra Munitions on Nym. I'm also considering putting Jostero with an action bomber (Emon? Sol?) for kicks... So many possibilities!

I paired him with Sol yesterday, and it was cool... that one time it worked. I’m not huge on bombers. It’s an art I can’t seem to gain skill with, despite many recent attempts. But I do think there’s value in a Jostero/Sol list. It’s hard to get his ability to trigger but he’s only one point more than a Black Sun ace. Worth it IMO.
