Sato MC75 barrages

By Xeletor, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

The idea is to have WAB clear the field off squadrons fast, together with ten numb and yavaris flak with toryn. Then 4 double die bombers go to town.

I flew the list with slight differences twice (tycho instead of nym and expanded launchers instead of ext. racks) but I felt nym makes up for that. And I still get one flotilla killing barrage.

I've only played that against a sloane tie swarm with boarding trooper avenger. It was the perfect counter to that. What lists could give me trouble?

Comms Net and Boosted Comms on the same transport? I suppose it isn't many points, but they get in each other's way ...

Dual Kuat + Ordnance Pods + Quad Laser Turrets + EWS + Ordnance Experts + Agent Kallus (on one)?

Dual vader cymoon or a vader cymoon demo light squad fleet are both suprisingly effective at handling this fleet if they can manage to just barely nab red range on your ships. If they get to close, you will bomb them, but otherwise by the time your bombers have closed and are burning an isd you could potentially be tabled.

This was my experience last weekend, Cymoons can 1 shot the flotillas very easily, and take out Yavaris faster than you would think (accuracy the evade, maybe you brace 5 to 3 but, but best case you are out of front shields). You know (or at least I do haha) that Yavaris is going to die, but losing the support flotillas hurts.

Relay is an answer, but you are then talking double VCXs for 30 points. Maybe just one, plus Adar on the comms net flotilla, so you can triple tap something at infinite range with relay?

I like the Nym choice, I almost went with that for my fleet, but did Ten Numb instead. Together, you have some nice options.

Sato Wide Area Barrage + bomber threat definitely synergizes well.
