Dodonna Intensify Firepower Swarm

By Matt Antilles, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Been kicking around ideas for fleets that use the Intensify Firepower! upgrade and constructed this monstrosity. Played one game with it in a slightly different configuration and it was brutal. My opponent rushed me with an ISD and Quasar on Round 2 and they both died Round 3. I lost the non-titled Neb and a TFA Hammerhead.

Basic idea was to get IF in there and then have a ton of shooters. It'd probably be better with 4 HHs instead of the 2 Nebs, but a side objective of the fleet was to get 2 Nebs in there and neither of them be named Yavaris.

This fleet basically just slow rolls and throws tons of dice. All the ships except the flagship are expendable. The Toryn flak rips apart squads, I just added Jan and the 2 YTs. Other version had Dash and a 2400.

What do you think?

I enjoy how IF has taken 3 ships that I've never been terribly impressed with (Nebs, Scout HHs, and Peltas) and makes them somewhat terrifying lol.

If you had Asoka in the list then the pelta could do other actions than CF while keeping the IF going.

53 pts vs 51 for a trc90 is interesting....

I dont hate it!

Yeah the Gunnery QBT Scouts are meant to maximize IF! and Toryn. Either make 2 ship attacks or a ship attack and a Toryn flak shot. Both will hurt.

I think I would actually ditch Garels Honor to put Spinals on Salvation. Then it isn't speed limited and can make flanking runs while the rest of the fleet jousts.

See and I wonder if you could do this with 2 Peltas. One running STM! and the other IF!. Then you could use TFA on those HHs to keep them alive just a little longer.

Still don't think it's enough shooters.

That's why this is better:

Like it. Change the fighters to A-Wings & Tycho and swap Doddonna for Sato.

Leia as a commander could work for this fleet as well.

This is... madness. And I love it. What about the Leia, Pelta IF and 9 gr75 diposable capacitors? :)
