Alright, so I know the name is terrible, but here’s the idea behind it.

•Keyan Farlander (29)

B-Wing/E2 (1)

•Maul (3)

•Roark Garnet (19)

Dorsal turret (3)

•Ezra Bridger (17)

Push the Limit (3)

•Bohdi Rook (1)

•M9-G8 (3)

Prototype pilot (17)

Cruise Missiles (3)

Guidance Chips (0)

Grand Total: 99

This is...weird. Which makes me interested. I just have absolutely no idea whatsoever if it will work.

Some small points: Prockets are WAY better on the A.

Dorsal Turret is kinda $#!+. Autoblaster Turret would be better, even on Roark.

I love Maullander. I will be flying him (With Poptics and Stressbot/Gunner/Snap Shot Ezra) this weekend at a tournament, and probably at regionals). You have the point to give him VI. And Collision Detector is free.

Ezra is weird. I don't think he has a load of use like this. I would give him the Stressbot, Snap Shot, and Tactician for the same points. That's a very common budget build.

You have a lot going on, but not much happening.

Just for the hey of it, I tried to slap together a tweaked version that might focus this better. Still gotta try it, but it should be fun/refreshing.

EDIT: some rationale:

* Maulander stays as Maulander.

* Roark and a missile carrier per the original list. Keep them at the same PS for flexibility/shenanigans. Plus, Dorsal is one of the few turrets that can meaningfully conbo with Ezra, and then you don't feel bad about pulling reds with your HWK to engage.

* Wookiee cuz it's reasonably cheap and tough and can benefit from Roark (though Roark probably PS12's the Tala on the opening engagement). Could sub for an actual Sheathipede--perhaps Fenn--but that might be too squishy.
