Not necessarily. Exodus can piggyback off a token if you want it to.

Or they just wait for your ship to run them over and you place them in unobstructed hull zone
My new Armada goal is to perform this incredible feat:
- Raider + Impetuous + Tua + EWS
- A bunch of 1 die (battery) enemy squads in one of my arcs
- Raider, speed 0
Infinite lockdown of all enemy squads? I think so!!
EWS will go where the biggest enemy ship is. Usually fighters like to be in that arc too so they don’t get flak, since you fire at the ship. Now they have to go elsewhere, like that mc80 assault cruiser front arc/other side arc. Eat 2 blue flak with leading shots or stay and don’t bomb.
To make it worse put an awing in another arc so the only option left is in overlapping flak of 2-3 ships.
EWS gives you lots of control over the squadron game. Looking forward to test if I’m wrong.

Yup, it can be counterplayed on both sides. Which is fantastic: keeps either the squadrons or EWS from being a runaway hard counter in either direction. I very much look forward to EWS-vs-squadron games, from both sides of the table.

Reduces a **** ton of damage and a lot of hull. Perfect for ramming at speed 3.

Wow, Phantoms can cloak-slide out of this lock, or just fire 1 red at Impetuous. Defintely OP Phantom!!!

Yeeeeeaaahhh but they can only do it after that round and the squadron phase, which is what that Raider really needed to keep them pinned for anyway. With this setup, you can jump Instigator in early to pin the squadrons and there isn't a **** thing they can do about it for that round. Even with Phantoms, it'll work for a whole round (I mean, the Raider will be eating single non-bomber reds, but that is... not that bad), after which it'll just be a question of whether Instigator or the squadrons activate first, which is a much simpler problem for the Raider to solve.
This build, specifically, will be absolute **** for the Ace Holes, and really any squadron force with no or minimal ship firepower backing it up. It's been a good run, Rieekan, but your uppance has come.

I meant that if you get an Adar on Luke and then a Yav double tap it will do a lot of damage regardless of your EWS.
Point taken though

But Luke still rolls one die only, and EWS makes it obstructed, so Luke wouldn’t be able to shoot anyway

That's why you 1) Move him to another hull zone with Adar Tallon and attack, leaving him unactivated, and then
2) Activate him with Yavaris to put two more attacks into the same (uncovered) hull zone.
I call this maneuver the 'Tallon Roll'
EWS needs to be set at the beginning of the Ship Phase, so you can still get around it with a Tallon roll
Dras said earlier that it still only works for one squadron, to which I pointed out that it doesn't matter if that's Luke (3 attacks re-rolling with BCC against no shields)
Have Dodonna as your commander for more fun

Um, did u mean Instigator?
I assume u mean lockdown as in the squads can't fly anywhere due to being engaged by the title right?

Easier to do by parking on the station without Tua / EWS :;
