Hi pilots, I've been flying this squad for a while and despite it's not a tier1 list it's very interesting and funny to fly. What do you think about it?

Auzituck Gunship: Wookie Liberator (26)
Expertise (4)
Tactician (2)
Intelligence Agent (1)
ARC-170: · Braylen Stramm (25)
· R3-A2 (2)

YT-2400: · Eaden Vrill (32)
Ion Cannon (3)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
· Rey (2)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)
-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

thx for the feedback!

Looks a fun list. Id probably put vecotered thrusters on braylen , as intelligence agent will only work for eaden as nobody else has repositioning moves.

Maybe drop ion cannon as youll be missing out on eadens ability , or even expertise as the gunship will want to turn around at some point so predator maybe slightly better , and you could get another tactitian on eaden.

Looks alot like a build I playtested a few weeks back. I wanted a stressbuild that was newbiefriendly (lots of auxilary arcs), and different to what I usually play.

ARC-170: · Braylen Stramm (25)

Worked out well but has to grind down the opposition as it doesn't hit very hard. Probably not something you take to a tournament as you will have to play full time every single game. All pilots at PS3 is nice, specially since I want to stress the targets before I shoot Eaden . I put Baze on the Liberator as it is easier to get a second opponent in your 180 front arc than in your auxilary rear arc on the Arc-170. The Tractor Beam is just a cheap disruptive secondary weapon to be used on small-base ships or at range 3 when I can get a second shoot on the same target with another ship.

Auzituck Gunships do not have any turn-around moves: no k-turns, no s-loops, no tallon-rolls. There is only 1 red move on the dial: a 5 forward.

I love this concept, I have a triple PS3 stress list I myself LOVE to run. It makes me both happy and humble to know that other people have the same general idea.

In terms of what you have here, I might suggest the following:

Get gunner on Braylen. Much more potent.

Keep Rey, but ditch everything else on Eaden. He wants to shoot with his primary.

The Auzi could use VT or EU, maybe PTL or Pred, of course, Expertise is perfectly good.

Your right . I had it in my head there were red hard turns for some reason

Control?

Nu: XG-1, Tractor Beam

Nu: XG-1, Jamming Beam

Nu: XG-1, Ion Cannon (or torp)

Nu: XG-1, Flechette Cannon (or torp)

Target one ship, and it never gets to play.

Nice list!

I suggest predator over expertise on auzitucks for a few reasons:

1) Scum players are going with Asajj since Jump nerf, Ive seen her everywhere recently, and she can shut down your offense.

2) Mirror match with expertise auzitucks, you shut down their offense.

I like Rey on Vrill. Had him in a Jess/Nien list. Very efficient.

If you go predator, and drop intel,cargo, and ion cannon, you can get gunner on Braylen, and have three pts left for either upgrading to Lowhrrick w/ breach specialist, or can put Operation Specialist on the Liberator. This gives braylen focuses when he misses with gunner, and if your last ship misses, Vrill just stocks it away with Rey! I really like this, might have to try it.

Thank you very much for the feed

ThereThere are many comments that suggest that I should remove the ion cannon from Eaden, but I think it still has a place in the current meta to control rebel jousting squads, nym's and miranda. what dou you think?

Expertise on the wookie is great because the action economy. I don't have to worry to choose anything but reinforce, and i think it makes me improve the overall damage output from the squad. I think predator needs focus to make the same numbers but i've noticed that the opponents always choose the ARC as primary target and secondly they target the wookie, so it would be possible to try predator + focus.

My oppening is:

^ ^^ ^

B EE W

I 1 turn with Eaden then 2 turn with wookie and 3 bank with Braylen to flank and also reduce his exposure to the enemy firing arcs.

Anyway, it's a very interesting evolution @wurms i will try it.

Holy crap, do I love this idea. Rebel bumpmaster! Intel Agent can also inform your decisions on whether to reinforce or focus.

Interesting idea @gennataos . I must confess i'm love with the wookie ship to but i like to include R3-A2 to ensure at least one strees before Eaden shoots.

i'm trying this new version:

Fenn Rau(27) [Fenn Rau(20), Veteran Instincts(1), Tactician(2), R3-A2(2), Vectored Thrusters(2), Phantom II(0)]

Lowhhrick(35) [Lowhhrick(28), Tactician(2), Inspiring Recruit(1), Expertise(4)]

Eaden Vrill(38) [Eaden Vrill(32), Ion Cannon(3), Rey(2), Burnout Slam(1), Smuggling Compartment(0)]

what do you think? i've found the ion cannon to be a must. Ion + Stress?= "oh yeah baby now you're mine"

I'd like to add one more reason to the "predator over focus" list.

Predator stacks with a focus token for (effectively) fully modded dice. Expertise only stacks with target lock (which the auzituck cannot take). Essentially predator allows you to hit harder than expertise ever could by choosing focus over reinforce for a turn.

So I play stress control Vrill a lot. I've played Nien, Jess, and Vrill for multiple store champs and one regionals (4-2 placing 16th of 64) so far.

The ion cannon will do well against Nym and Miranda but both of those ships already hate stress and it does nothing to large ships. I don't think it helps you against jousters as most jousting lists should out-damage you and raze the arc or YT on the first pass.

I've taken to using cruise missile + chips on Vrill. He's got 3 turns, 4 straight, and a 4k - all of which support cruise. It's not too hard to line up a shot on a large ship - which tends to be the target. Vrill usually wants to play at range one of an enemy so the cruise also helps late game against fleeing enemies.

Personally I think you want ships that can reposition supporting Vrill. He is one of the best blockers in the game and repositioning to take advantage of those blocks can be huge.
