Really looking forward to playing him in the new shuttle, promises to open up quite a few shenanigans... and from what I can tell, he can be built in various different way, depending on the the list obviously!

I'd love to see what are the various current builds circulating? This is one i'm very much keen to try out :

Fenn
Intensity
BB8
Jyn Erso
Exp Interface

Airen
VI
Harpoon
Guidance Chips

Nym
VI
Autoblaster
Harpoon
Seismic torp
Bomblet
Traj simulator
R5P8

Fenn is able to : reveal a green, perform a BR, receive a focus or evade, use exp interface to use Jyn Erso to give focus tokens, then perform the green maneuver and destress, thus performing his coordinate action. Then, when shooting, Airen goes first, giving a free action (seismic torp on Nym seemed nice ). Which means Nym can reveal -> drop or launch bomb -> perform action -> launch seismic during shooting round (thanks Airen) then fire harpoon with focus modifier from Jyn! Not sure it'll hold up against the top levels of the meta, but seems fun and strong...

Any other fun ideas?

Your Fenn won't be able to use his pilot ability and his BB8 trick though.

Yeah it's once every 2 turns... like i said, not top-tier build, but seemed like fun in my head

Something like this;

Norra Wexley (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Kyle Katarn (3)
BB-8 (2)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Shara Bey (28)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Weapons Engineer (3)
R2-D2 (4)
Alliance Overhaul (0)

Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20)
Wired (1)
Jan Ors (2)
M9-G8 (3)

Total: 99

I flew that with a Wookie instead of Fenn, it was "ok". I think Fenn could spice things up.

Norra get's 2 Focus, changes one of them in an evade with Jan.

Maybe I kick Jan and put Kanan in the Sheathipede...

Good? Prolly not. Panic inducing to certain squads? Yup.

Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20)
Decoy (2)
Tactician (2)
R2 Astromech (1)

Captain Rex (14)
Tactician (2)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Lowhhrick (28)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Tactician (2)
Breach Specialist (1)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

Edit: Can trade out the stresshog for Jess or Biggs depending on taste.

Fenn Rau : PtL, title, Autothrusters.

Oh wait....

(25pts) Fenn Rau (Sheathipede) (20) w/ Veteran Instincts (1) , Kyle Katarn (3) , Flight-Assist Astromech (1)

Fenn gets a focus every turn, and is free to coordinate. FAA ensures he has arc on someone for his ability to trigger.

Edit: Just realized title says Fenn not Phantom II...carry on.

Fenn (20) with:

• VI (1)
• FFA or R2 Astromech (1)
• Kyle Katarn (3)
• optional: Pulse Ray Shield (2)

For 25 or 27 points total.
He will coordinate my Jake who can now skip VI for Juke or Outmaneuver (because let's face it, it's the most statisfying card ever!). Then he prevents a ship from using the token. And next turn he moves green, removes the stress and gets a focus himself for defense. Rinse and repeat! Supported by Poe because somebody should do a bit of damage...

ah, @wurms had the same idea!

VI, FAA, Jan Ors. Coordinate at PS11 then boost/barrel to shut down tokens.

Wingmen left as an exercise for the reader.

I see you utilized the "Slender Norra". You have become a master of Combo-Wing, as the emperor has forseen...

Also, that looks awesome. I want to try this.

EDIT: Well, after trying this... the actions are hilarious, the deaths fill me with sadness though...

I just feel bad that I cleared out my local store of Phantom II's.

Gotta get those Flight Assist Astros!!!!

I waited on the integrated astromechs and eventually FFG came through. Hoping for the same here. I'm optimistic that the unreleased SKU will have some.

Took this guy for a test ride and holy crap is Fenn Rau good. His ability with double arcs is nasty nasty nasty.

Played versus a Kanan w/ FCS TLT crew shenanigans and a docked Zeb Phantom I, with Phantom II Fenn trailing behind w/ wired,nien nunb, faa. His ghost can bump and fenn coordinates recon spec on Kanan, or Kanan focuses and Fenn would coordinate an evade, or change Kanans TL to whoever his big *** primary can fire at. Nice combo.

This game went on FOREVER because his fenn would shutdown Corran's offense, and my fenn shutdown Kanans offense. Eventually I plinked the ghost to death as range 1 Corran is still powerful, and Kanan is out of focuses for Corrans double attack, so that helped.

Fenn though: The ghost was so weak, I just plopped Corran range 1 of Kanan and dared him, with no TL or focus to spend. And FCS didnt work on the second TLT either, so plinking away at Lowhhrick was a slow burn as Fenn's ability lasts the entire round, and since we both had abilities at end phase, we felt Fenn Rau's power. Katarn was fantastic on Fenn. He always had a focus and lowhhricks evade so he made a tanky little bug.

Game ended with Low on 3 hull left, Fenn on 1 hull left, Corran full of course. His ghost and Fenn died (same round from Corrans double tap) while his attack shuttle was still alive, we just called game.

Fenn Rau is one powerful little ship.

I tried it.

I am just not good enough to play Norra this way, but I feel like there's potential! She seemed to fragile for me. It is very fiddly too.

I'm replacing her with an expertise Wookie with C-3p0 and Rey for added defense. Fenn is getting Wired and Jan Ors.

It's got high PS, stress control, action efficiency, brutal damage mitigation, and confused target priority.

I've played a couple games and I really like it.

You can't launch a seismic during the shooting round, it is a reveal maneuver bomb. Plus you can only drop one bomb per round.

Torp vs bomb. He's good.

Still haven't had a chance to run it yet, but......
