Hello everyone!

I have got a difficult task for an upcoming tournament tomorrow.

I have to create a list featuring the VCX-100. The pilot has to be Kanan.

Have you got some good ideas to help me with that?

List I saw on the net a while back which has become one of my faves. Use Kanan to provide cover for Fenn who bolsters defence + gives focus tokens through coordinate (don't forget Rey can keep multiple on her) as well as stripping enemy defence tokens. Rack up 2-3 stress through Maul if needed and hopefully hit to remove one, but definitely keep at least 1 focus token for defence (if unneeded can always go on Rey or TLT). Then use TLT to remove (hopefully) 2 stress.

PILOT: Kanan Jarrus 38
SHIP: VCX-100
Twin Laser Turret 6
Rey 2
Maul 3
Sensor Jammer 4
Tactical Jammer 1
Ghost 0
Total Points: 54

PILOT: Fenn Rau 20
SHIP: Sheathipede-class shuttle
Flight-Assist Astromech 1
Adaptability 0
Hotshot Co-pilot 4
Total Points: 25

PILOT: Ezra Bridger 20
SHIP: Attack Shuttle
UPGRADES PTS
Selflessness 1
Phantom -
Total Points: 21

Total 100

I flew a very similar list recently - it seemed very strong, but also kind of boring - there aren't many decisions to make while flying this list.

flying any list with a VCX is about the easiest thing in the world right now, provided you also have a the sheathe shuttle (specifically Fenn Rau) to drive it absolutely up the wall with a PS 11 coordinate

it even makes Synched Turret ridiculous...yes, Synched Freaking Turret

gonna need that bid for opposing Fenn Raus

opposing Fenn Raus can demolish your list because Kanan needs tokens to modify his dice, apart from Synched Turret's innate re-rolls. If you take initiative, however, you can attack with your Fenn Rau first and use r3-a2 to stress the opponent before he gets to trigger his ability. You also use r3-a2 against Expertise, which bypasses your ability, or to double stress glitterstimers (which also bypass your ability)

at first synched seems like a complete joke, but then you realize that Kanan can fart out two fully modified attacks per turn thanks to FCS and gobs of focus. You'll simply shred opposing ships, even non-kanan VCXs, at range 1-2

Still wondering about two things about this list.

1. Is the damage output really high enough? Fenn doesn't seem to produce any hits at all, he's just the buff / debuff ship.

2. How long can Fenn Rau survive? Doesn't he usually go down after 2 rounds of combat?

The damage on the VCX is already higher than two ships in itself

Fenn is pure support, but he utterly neuters incoming damage and his Hotshot Copilot strips defenses to let Kanan's multiple attacks savage the opponent. It's basically a one-ship alpha strike.

The sheathipeede dies quickly, but between his ability and kanan's he lasts a lot longer than you'd think

This one's a lot of fun:

Kanan w/ FCS, TLT + 4 points of crew (fill in with your preference)

Azituck Gunship w/ Wookiee Commandos x2

It's simple, but pretty **** effective.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I have come up with a personal list for the tournament, featuring some of your ideas (just like the synced turred for example) ;-)
