Raddus Turducken

By stonestokes, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

I've been playing around with this Raddus build this week. It's been interesting.

Raddus Turducken
Author: stonestokes

Faction: Rebel Alliance
Points: 394/400

Commander: Admiral Raddus

Assault Objective: Station Assault
Defense Objective: Contested Outpost
Navigation Objective: Dangerous Territory

MC75 Armored Cruiser (104 points)
- Profundity ( 7 points)
- Rapid Launch Bays ( 6 points)
- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)
- External Racks ( 3 points)
= 131 total ship cost

GR-75 Medium Transports (18 points)
- Bright Hope ( 2 points)
- Toryn Farr ( 7 points)
- Rapid Launch Bays ( 6 points)
- Bomber Command Center ( 8 points)
= 41 total ship cost

[ flagship ] Nebulon-B Escort Frigate (57 points)
- Admiral Raddus ( 26 points)
- Yavaris ( 5 points)
- Raymus Antilles ( 7 points)
= 95 total ship cost

4 B-Wing Squadrons ( 56 points)
1 Jan Ors ( 19 points)
4 X-Wing Squadrons ( 52 points)

I stuff Profundity full of Bees and Jan Ors, putting the other Bees on Bright Hope, and putting Bright Hope into the belly of Profundity as well.

Then, after deploying Profundity and Bright Hope, I will activate Bright Hope first, dropping 2 Bees but activating 2 X-Wings. Then when Profundity activates, it can drop the other 2 Bees and Jan Ors, activating one of the Bees and the last 2 X-Wings. Then Yavaris activates and double-taps with the remaining 3 Bees. That is a total of 7 blue-black attacks from B-Wings, supported with Toryn Farr and BCC.

The Profundity could really use Lando or Wallex, but I'm hesitant to reduce my bid. First player is just so much better for this build. I might drop ExRax for Lando. That would put me at 395.

Thoughts?

Swap Raymus for a VetCaptain and save a sqd token on the first round.

Yavaris most probably will only last two rounds of fighting in the thick ;-)

I initially thought this was an awful idea. So I made a variation that uses Sato instead. The reason I would be really nervous with your version is that Yavaris will die very, very fast if you make just the tiniest of mistakes.

Don't. Do. It. You'll regret it, right, @Karneck? :)

I have no regrets. It is a really fun fleet to fly.

Comatose was correct in how fast a Neb-B will die to focus fire from Sloane Aces with Jendon / Stele.

The concept is interesting, but I feel that it relies too much on a gimmick that can be exploited, and you will get out deployed.
