Saw a post on here recently suggesting Chewbacca as a decent meta counter (don't remember by who). I got thinking, and came up with something like this:
-
Chewbacca [Original] (42)
- Draw Their Fire (1)
- Rey (2)
- C-3P0 (3)
- Millennium Falcon [Evade] (1)
- Countermeasures (3)
-
Lothal Rebel (35)
- FCS (2)
- Hera (1)
- Han Solo (2)
- Ion Cannon Turret (5)
- Countermeasures (3)
Total 100
At least in theory, it's got a lot going for it:
- Countermeasures should make harpoon alpha strikes a lot more difficult, and help against swarms.
- Both ships have too much health to worry too much bomblets and bombs in general.
- Chewbacca is a hard Kylo counter, and as long as he sticks near the VCX Draw Their Fire should give it a degree of protection.
- The Lothal has pretty good firepower, and Chewie is a scary endgame ship with the classic 3P0-falcon title combination.
The potential drawbacks I see:
- Autothrusters are going to be tough for this list to punch through. Classic imp aces aren't doing so well but I'm worried about silencers.
- A bit concerned about Chewie's lack of firepower; 3 dice with a focus and maybe a target lock isn't super scary on its own.
Thoughts?
