So I just got back from the MA regionals today. My biggest takeaway was this - a Luke Skywalker Adar/Yavaris triple-tap is completely insane . Over the course of the day, he destroyed three Arquitens by himself , all with full shields. ****, he could solo a Star Destroyer in four turns, max. Even though he managed to completely flub a Yavaris double-tap against Admonition in my first game (rolled two blanks), he was easily the MVP of the list.
Good God, Luke
#NerfLuke #OP #DownWithRebels
Seriously though, nice job.
Edited by emsgoofIt's not so much Luke, really. It's Yavaris and Relay. Yavaris only took fire in a single matchup (and died), and that was with a Raider flying Speed 4.

This is why my "Lead" interdictor has Captain Brunsen these days.
Discard one Double completely.
Make you Targeting Scramble Reroll one other.
Walk away with at worst, 3 face downs...
yeah, my Luke one-shotted (well, 2 shotted because of Yavaris) 2 MC30s in a single game. My opponent was a bit salty...

I wish I would have a chance to play you as I'm genuinely interested in the result (Yavaris double/triple tapping is one of the main reasons I keep putting Kallus/QLT on my flagship).
Obviously Arquitens have a design flaw involving a trench of some kind

And this is why Early Warning System would be pretty good on them
Huh? You mean the opponent didnt see yavaris and luke in the same list and automatically send every possible squad to destroy him?
Huh. These no squad fleets must be occouring more often then i had thought

Easier said than done when they have 134 points of fighters you know. And possibly Gallant Haven + Jan.

Ehh all the people around here fly full 134pt fighters in almost all their lists, yet luke or vader are singularly targeted and destroyed straight away.
Mainly cause escort.
Theirs ways to extend his lifespan definitely but around where i am his lifespan is measured in seconds hahhaa
Its good to see him seeing use outside my meta though
I just hope everyone here appreciates that the two biggest stars of the Star Wars movies (Luke and Vader) are among the best of the squadrons in this game. Over in X-Wing, Vader can hold his own at least, but Luke friggen skywalker hasn’t really been competitive since wave 1. *le sigh*

I will take a moment to respect this.
(Though, Vader isn't considered "good" in Armada I think. Decent...? Vader would be amazing if he didn't have Escort and had a Scatter.
I have a list that combines Luke with Adar, a cr90b with engine techs and garels. Alongside a tonne of escorts and biggs.
No intention of shooting shields.... its a really wierd experience to fly.
Although a long time ago i managed to roll 15 blanks in 16 rolls (including rerolls) from Luke in a game....

I love that premise. Will try.
I think everyone has that one experience of wanting to find out how many dice fit in a blender in a single go. Mine was STAW, watching my 5 hull, no shield ship roll a combined 14 defense dice after rerolls and come up with not a single evade.

Two of those Arquitens were mine, it was brutal and there was very little I could do about it once it started. Tarkin will have his revenge some day! Build me a class 4 moon with a big gun!

Vader is thematically wrong in this game. Vader doesn’t escort others, he gets escorted!
If anything Rogue would be more appropriate.

which will get one-shotted by luke again

The threat of him and his prowess in flying makes those at distance 1 unable to focus on other normal fighters haha
I agree with the Rogue
Edited by MuelmuelI took luke in my first Corelian Conflict Campaign fleet. Throughout the entire conflict he didn't roll a single point of damage. The local joke is that Luke is a 20 point void where your points go in and you get 5 hull and 2 braces in return. (w/escort of course)

Been there. I refer to him as Luke Whiffwalker. He occasionally mind tricks me I to taking him, but never does anything for me. I always prefer Wedge.

Wedge rolls hits for you? Accs and crits for me.

Routinely one-shots Imp Aces for me.

Same game as above, Wedge fired at Mauler for a good three or four rounds and STILL needed help to finish him.

I always thought it would be cool if he had something like Rudor’s rule - you cannot attack Vader if you’re also engaged by a TIE Fighter squadron.
The best option would have been to make Black Squadron a super escort, if engaged he must be fired upon. That way Vader could be escorted, if even only for a shoot or two.
