No-one wanna mention it on a CR-90 Corvette?

*whistles innocently*

Have Shara Bey flying along for target locks and Jan Ors for an extra die and ouch that’s gonna leave a mark.

Don't need Shara - you can have Maul on board. But yes, that's making a CR-90 even scarier.

Saw is good value for points; it's the self-damage which is going to be the killer.

Which means anything with a decent firepower, regen and a crew slot will get the most out of it.

Miranda is the easiest one to pick, but anything carrying R2-D2 (crew) is also an option.

That said, Saw + R2-D2 is the same price as maul & ezra and takes the same number of crew slots, so it's no big boost there.

It's largely Miranda Doni or Norra Wexley we're looking at. Norra has the advantage of a pilot ability which pairs better - adding a garuanteed focus result when you plan to use Saw is devastating - whilst Miranda has her advantage of TLT, etc. of course, if you want her to use Saw, she needs to move Sabine to a different ship (possibly a non-Havoc Captain Nym?), because I can't see anyone voluntarily giving up the ridiculous effectiveness of bombs in her lists.

Maul doesn't work on epic ships - there has been a recent FAQ update for epic. Paying the stress price cards (like Maul and Zuckuss) don't work in epic from now on.

Rey. He's basically a cheap Expertise that doesn't use your EPT slot. Also, Rey is not usually your win condition, she's just there to win the damage rush so your finisher can clean up (Poe, Miranda, etc.), so her taking damage is less relevant than ensuring she's inflicting at least as much which Saw is good for. Saw is amazing against most point fortresses as a giant stack of crits is a sure fire way to make regening to victory less viable.

Honestly, I don't think Saw on anything that doesn't have regen is sensible, except just maybe Wulffwarro. Self damage is a MASSIVE penalty. Each time you use him on Rey you're handing your opponent 1/13 of your ship for free.

Saw seems strong, as people have already pointe doubt he's extra good on regen, but what hasn't been said much is that he is immune to Rebel Fenn, take one damage to ignore his ability and get a boost?

Seems strong. But by the time this is out the meta may have shifted and then who cares?

basically I think it's a cheaper Expertise with a drawback and will mostly be a meta call, but we can make a sorta rebel doom shuttle with gunner, FCS and Saw on the Uwing.

**** yeah.

But what if it was on a Uwing and could stall forever?

Ghost has 2x health, infinite 5k turns, and a 4/5 dice primary. And now a crew that lets me eat some of that health to turn eyeballs into juicy crits from those 4 or 5 dice. I'll take that over a stalled U-wing any day.

Its, "O we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State" .... chug beer, lick salt, shoot tequila, suck lime ... rinse... and repeat!

I think Saw would be more proud of the the *real* Iowa fight song...booo state. (I was *that* guy at Indy Regionals wearing the Hawkeye cap).

Fight, Iowa, never, never yield
Fight, Iowa, fight right down the field
Get in the game and watch the ball
Be a fighting Man
Hit 'er hard, give Iowa all you can.
Fight, Iowa, you'll be sure to hold
We're with you with the pep
And love of old.
Fight for family, Fight for friend
Fight for country too
But fight hard today and win
For Dear old Gold.

Not after Epic FAQ. I mean you could have him on board, but his ability won’t work.

I'm glad they fixed the stress shenanigans on huge ships. That was an ugly oversight. Finally getting FAQs again means Epic play isn't abandoned after all... it's weird to worry about that since they recently released the C-ROC, but Epic went a long time without any other attention, and we kinda had to rely on gentlemen's agreements to not use broken combos and rules gray areas.

I kinda like the idea of Saw on a CR90 aft, maybe with Backup Shield Generator to make it easy to keep up with his self-damage (if you're not being focus-fired to death, of course).

Oops

saw on the cr90....ouch...

Give it the shields upgrade and it just negates the Saw damage automatically lol.

This is probably the best use case

I posted it already somewhere, but I can't go past the idea of putting him on zeb in the tie with dead man's switch as a 17pt suicide bomber.

For a full squad, add in rex, a tala squadron pilot with a harpoon, and TFA chewie with rage, countermeasures, snuggling compartment, scavenger crane, inspiring recruit and Kanan Jarrus.

Saw on a CR90!

Add Synced turret to annoy even arc dodgers. 45 points now, but it is inescapable.

I have this in a list already printed, waiting for it to drop. Gonna buy me some chips for all the salt I am sure to get.

Thought about APT,s just getting to rng 1 could be an issue.
